Me first

15 days in Bangalore and i'm already hyper. Hyper because of traffic. Just cant understand why the people of Bangalore have become so restless and apathetic, especially regarding traffic. This is nothing new, it was the same a year back too.

Consider this. A long wait for the signal to turn green. As soon as it becomes yellow, somewhere in the back a guy honks. As if the way is all clear for him. He knows he cant go ! Then I really wonder what pleasure he gets by doing so and disturbing poor chaps like us who will be in the bus after a tired day, sleeping. Not only him for that instance, even our bus driver also follow the suit. Why cant these guys have a little patience ! And the way they drive..ooph..Not even a dog can find a place between two vehicles.

And two wheelers, like me get sandwitched between these vehicles sometimes. We dont honk, as we know nobody's going to listen to us. But ya, we keep our patience, and do sneak haphazardly. Things wont change.

And when I am in the bus, I curse the ricks and cars. When I happen to be in a rick, I curse the busses and cars. When I happen to be in a car, I curse the busses, ricks, two wheelers, bullock carts. And when I am on my own bike, I curse all. (and there will be one person on road for sure who will curse me). Guess this cursing cycle continues...

And everyone wants to be the first to get rid of the traffic. Isn't it..?
