No Horn Please

The more we change the more we remain the same. Is it true! The frustrating travelling of just two kilometers up and down from office to room every day brought in me the above famous quote of someone. I anticipate the future will face the problem of insufficiency of very basic and essential freedom and necessities. Pure air, hygienic water, sound sleep, genuine love, and peace of mind, true happiness and joy, trust worthy brotherhood and friendship and good health and on ….all basic things may come with a prize tag! The moral now to keep is not to take anything for granted!

Sooner than later time will come people prefer walking to save time rather wasting time on the roads amides heavy traffic…bicycles may be brought back…as it is a healthier way of commuting…as emails get delivered much latter than the postal letters ,due to network traffic, the delivery is not reliable and are not confidential…

We may start write letters to communicate faster, safer and to keep it confidential….due to the scarcity of electricity people will keep aside their laptops and desktops and work with paper and pencil…using mobile may be considered as a bad habit as compared to smoking and drinking…and de addiction centers may creep up to treat them…and so the specialist doctors on this subject…internet addiction may get capital punishment?….

As I was held up in the traffic on a flyover near Mukunda theatre …my fancy thought evolved around some funny ideas like that….I asked one local person to know that the flyover has been build since four or five years now… I wonder at the government’s foolish futuristic view and the blind vision about something called future. The engineer who might have drawn the plan and constructed it, we may have to warrant him to go up and down in the traffic for his life time…what a narrow plan! He has planned, proposed and executed.

Amides all this agony there comes a siren of an ambulance…no one seeming to pave way…this is quite common in this city that the ambulance get stranded in the suffocative traffic and narrow roads .Commuters might have been saturated with the horn sounds so as not to distinguish a siren of an ambulance…things and ways of their own is important than somebody’s life…and the lives of someone around the victims…what an insensitive, irresponsible commuters we are! ….

It looks like as if we are saying to the ambulances …please do not make noise and No Horn Please!
