WHY THEY DEFY THEMSELVES?







WHY THEY DEFY THEMSELVES AND FEEL PROUD ABOUT IT?

1: ATM: The other day I was standing in the queue of a SBI ATM counter in the capital city of Bhubaneswar, Orissa. There were already four people inside. It was written on the glass door “Please go one by one”. When only two were left inside, the person behind pushed me and told to get in or give way. I told him there are already two people inside , why are you in a hurry.
“You are an old man you cannot understand the time constrains of young people” was the answer.
In the mean while a car came near by the ATM counter and started blowing horn as a bike had been parked in the middle of the road. One shop keeper who was standing in the queue removed the bike to a side so that the car can push off. The owner was inside the AC chamber of ATM counter. He was least bothered. After coming out he shouted to the car fellow in all sorts of filthy language and told the Samaritan that he should have noted down the car number! Instead of thanking the fellow who removed the bike from the road that fellow was in the firing line.
That was my first encounter of ATM culture at Bhubaneswar.
2: Helmet: Just in front my car two motor cycle riders were in a hurry but to their bad luck the traffic light tuned to red so there was no other way then to stop.After the light tuned to yellow they were half way then speed away and both of them removed the helmet and set their hairs, as if they were wearing the helmet for the benefit of the traffic constable.!!
3: Noise pollution: All the drivers at this capital city are horn friendly so be prepared for an ENT check up for your evening headache.
4: Road crossing: No zebra crossing no rules any one can cross the roads at any place with a hand symbol of congress to wards your vehicle. Be prepared or else your car goes in flame if your car hits a young girl. Most of them i.e.: ladies with a mobile on one ear would cross the road to your horror.
5: Parking of vehicles: It’s better to travel by three wheelers for a party then to take your own car.
6: Indicator lights: Do not rely on them a right blinker may go straight or may turn to left.Heavy vehicles do not believe in indicators, so save your self with common sense.
7: Blazzing head lights: Wear a goggle or an anti glare speck or you become blind very soon.
8: Mobile culture: Mobile tone is all of peculiar type starting from a child cry to a car horn to a Hindi film song. So do not react suddenly.
9: Eating in the party: Seen to be believed. As if most of them are having their last meal. It’s so noisy that hardly one can talk in side the hall.
10: Over taking: It may be on your right or left so drive straight as an arrow to avoid accidents.
Most of them feel proud what they do as mentioned above. That’s for you - an ODIYA culture? You to judge.
