The
traffic crawled at snail’s pace. Maybe,
some politician or baba or such VIP was passing and there were security
barricades somewhere…
VIP
security inevitably means insecurity for the aam aadmi. One man’s
security is another man’s insecurity, in the words of antediluvian wisdom.
Poet
was on his old scooter whose expiry date had elapsed long ago. He became weary of the honking from behind;
he felt insecure, in other words. So he
pulled his scooter to the brambles on the side of the road and waved his hand
to the honking driver to indicate ‘Go ahead.’
The
car of the honker overtook Poet’s scooter.
“Don’t
Honk.” Poet could read the poster with
big letters stuck on the rear of the car.
“Kute bhi nahin...” The poster
went on to admonish: “Even dogs do not bark without a reason.”
Love the humour, and the irony you slap across that car driver's face. :D

Have seen so many people like these on roads in Mumbai, I share the similar feeling.
ReplyDeleteI remember a lesson which I taught a few years ago, written by a famous essayist, in which the author advises his son to use the horn like a gentleman: "Announce your coming like a gentleman," he said. We have few gentlemen on the roads now.
DeleteNice one...About the Honking morons..I had a similar wave of thought which you might like reading through..http://www.great-indian-curry.com/2013/10/honkhonkhonking-horns.html

ReplyDeleteThis is a big issue but hardly any car driver in our country seriously give thought to. The 'Sab Chalta hai' attitude is ruining all traffic sense!
