That feeling... us, parasites, traffic, etc.


Don't know even how to pronounce, name, spell that feeling... but it dwells all the time in all of us. It seems to come out at times, makes us seem melancholic, leaves us feel dark and frustrated at times. I wonder, if we all are "set" in a certain manner... it is the result of civilisation and its influences on our brains or is it a genetic issue. What is it that leads us to believe that sometimes, life is rosy and fantastic yet at times leaves us feeling so down that you feel like yelling at the top of your voice.

Sometimes, I wonder if there's any hope for us at all! Equating humans with parasites may not be that wrong, you know... we multiply, devour, multiply, devour...endlessly. Today it is Earth. Tomorrow the Moon and then Mars. Our inablility to co-exist with each other at a level that leaves us in peace is simply fantastic. Inasmuchas it has led to some amazing discoveries, it has also resulted in a lot of spilt blood and dreams gone bad.

Let's take a look at the traffic situation in India. Pathetic! We have the best of vehicles in the world, our roads are improving daily but our sense of traffic keeps getting worse. Every 2 wheeler, 3 wheeler and large 4 or more wheeled vehicle driver thinks that it is his/her God given right of way, irrespective of whether it is the right direction or not. Pedestrians...bah... let's not talk about poor dead souls. Autorickshaws... a contraption and a driver designed purely to leave us cursing the very day some sod created this combination that leaves no gap unvisited. After all, how does it matter... "first me" and then you sods... haah... traffic police... guys who have a whistle stuck in their mouth, hands windmilling in all directions, completely ineffective in reining in a single motorist... most common excuse "too many drivers on the road...I don't want to get beaten up!"

What does it take to be a decent human on the roads of India???? An answer that I'm pretty sure is tough to provide!
