Reckless Driving

driving on Indian roads has its after effects

 

The world of youth is a new world in itself. Youngsters riding at break-neck speed with their invertebrate friends clinging to their backs are no longer an alienated spectacle. Being true disciples of the ever illusive fashion gurus, they strive to keep in line with the latest trends. The demand for attraction and public attention has never been greater than in the twenty first century. The sudden surge in the urge for physical evidence of youthful independence drives young lads and lassies alike to what is presumed to be manifestation enough of their freedom �"speed racing through the highway.

Have you ever been caught up in the rush hour traffic of a metropolis? If you have, you would be no stranger to the long queue of vehicles of all shapes and sizes waiting impatiently for the signal lights to change, with their persistent, irksome unexceptionally loud honking that gets on your nerves and shatters your peace of mind; the snail-like pace that you must maintain as you inch your way up cautiously, hoping fervently that you would reach your destination on time. It sure is an exhausting and excruciating experience. After the seemingly long minute when the green traffic light shines, the vehicles dash forward as if they were being chased by a band of dacoits or riding for their life! The pleasure that the young derive from speed racing is ever incomprehensible to the not so young community.

If only there were strict traffic rules that all drivers abide by, there would be no collision among the two generations. Yet, this alone will not provide the solution ultimatum. In such a time when rules are made only to be broken, there has to be a revolution in the attitude, a resolution that the world changers have to take, if they wish to leave an indelible impact in this world.
