road-rage....

juss imagine..a common scene....a trafic jam and by-standers...some on roads, some on pathways, necks dangling out of the windows of the cars and in the middle two persons (may be more) fighting like dogs...not literally fighting but cursing each other like anything...the best part most of these encounters hardly go physical but...if ever...it goes the wrong way and at occassions...people vie for each others blood and at the worst...in a civilized society...a cold blooded murder in the middle of the everything...why this...the reason...a minor/major scratch, a bad bump by a cyclist, autowala, kissing cars,...the moment something like that happens...the man at other side...trasforms himself into a raging bull..........and at times even the culprit...

other day while going back from National captial territory to the core of the capital...new delhi...as usual enjoyin my music..i was in an auto...near the IIT flyover....a sleek honda city...perhaps new...juss stopped by our side...inside a decent... no... more than decent...well dressed middle aged person...n an aunt...yss the first impression...a decent well educated couple..aaayla...i saw the autodriver... tryin hard to listen somethin and...to my surprise...the guy in his honda city...was cursing the driver for something which i was not aware of..it was understood..nothing was coming out of the car...blame it on the windshield...ultimately the decent lookin person realised and lowered the glass of the window.....o my god...the decent lookin person was no more decent...he was worst than anything...even illetrates hardly use such a filthy language...not a post material....the poor autowala why poor...no i dont know i should not say poor..as anticipated was totally unmoved....may be because they face such situations so many a times during the whole day...that they become used to...the best thing...may be because he was an autowala or a nice person...kept his cool and hardly dragged himself into a sawal jawab...this has an "aag mein ghee" effect to the other side and as a result at a point he jumped even outa his car to prove his point...and more precisely to convey him more forceibly to the autowala...but the red turned green and the decent lookin man after bursting like anything...was back in his car...with a fiery look..still vieing for the blood of autowala..zip-zap-zoom..now it was my turn..."bhaiya what happened...why such drama???...o nothing bhaisaaab....ye toh hota rahta hai...before this red-light due to this... mingled traffic...perhaps the side mirror of the car (honda city)...touched the cover sheet of the Auto for a fraction of seconds.....may be the auto was trying to kiss the car....re-boot India..............
