With every passing day, I have come to realize that the most important trait that we Indians lack is.. PATIENCE..!
Almost in every sphere of life, we lack patience.., while driving on the roads, people behind the wheels seldom have any consideration for pedestrians.. ! In other countries, pedestrians are given the right of way.. ! On the contrary, in ours might is right! Considering the fact, that pavements are meant for pedestrians, the pathetic uneven condition of whatever is left of the pavements is definitely not amble friendly..! Besides pavements are in most places encroached upon by roadside vendors, tea stalls etc. To top it all , the absolutely restless and impatient two wheelers resort to riding on the pavement ..at times of traffic snarls..! So where does that leave pedestrians..? Can they just grow wings and fly???????????? The most annoying and displeasing manner in which people express their impatience is the constant honking..! Everybody is on a clockwork and have a time and a place to be at, and mind you nobody is standing in the middle of the road, or not moving their vehicles for fun! But people keep blaring horns as if the world is going to end.! So go easy on the honking, or rather avoid it completely.
A pedestrian walking will keep moving at a reasonable pace and there is no reason for us to alarm him/her by constantly honking!
HORN NOT OK PLEASE!

Well said.Yes, people are getting restless and are in tearing hurry what for God only knows.Having stepped out one should have the patience ,as they know very well how the traffic moves.The main culptits are the successive govts which should have stopped giving licences
to second carslong time back.
Well written Ramya. AsI just read recently, if one can pass a day on the road without honking and cursing, he is a true yogi, without doing yoga!
