If- part 1

This blog post is basically a tribute to all Indians !!

If I were a Motor-bike rider in India, I would

Have to watch out for Autos and Share-Autos that apply breaks abruptly.

Have to look-out for drunk men walking around like they own the place.

Get hit from behind by every vehicle, since no one knows to apply breaks properly.

Get irritated by driving behind the so called family cars that completely occupy the entire road such that the entire traffic has no choice but to hope for the car to  speed up.

Get caught by traffic- police whose sole aim is to deprive you off hundred rupees whether it was zig-zag driving or dangerous turn or helmet-on- your- lap-not- head.

Watch pedestrians run across the roads only when the signal for the vehicles turns to green.

Help cyclists to use me for balance since they either do not want to break ;est they have to pump in more effort or whip past you making you and and everyone behind apply the break since such issues are beyond them.

Watch myself fume in anger when I get stopped at every signal that is being installed for every hundred meters.

Look out for the tires of my bike since anyone and everyone digs up the roads and lets them rot.

Try overtake a bus only to find someone spitting on me.

Get mobbed my beggars at major traffic junctions. Being generous that we Indians are generally, we tend to give something to the poor child only to realize there is a whole group under-ground running them which also shuffles them so that no beggar is seen at the same junction twice.

Frequently change the lanes without warning and pushing the vehicles already on that lane to one side ensuring we reach the destination quicker whether or not someone else did not reach his due to our fault.

Make sure the Ambulance never gets a free lane and if by chance people give way for the ambulance, then planning strategically to follow the ambulance in its path since we know that people sooner or latter would give, at least few inches for the ambulance to move on.

And finally, last but not the least  jump signals. I mean who cares for it anyway. Is this the U.S of A where the police monitor our vehicle movement.
