Why don’t we use Blinkers while driving on the roads of India ?

There  is something about motorists not using blinkers in the National Capital region  of Delhi. While driving on any road in and around Delhi, you suddenly notice the car in front of you swerving to the left, or the right, without giving any sort of indication! I think the driver of the swerving vehicle believes that by not using blinkers he is perhaps saving battery power? Another peculiarity about drivers in the NCR of Delhi is  a total disregard for lane driving!  The vehicle at the extreme right can come careening all the way to the left at the last moment, cutting across all the other vehicles just because he has suddenly decided to take the left turn! Then you have those ubiquitous three wheelers! You can find the three wheelers racing with Hondas, Toyotas, and any other vehicle. They stick to the middle lane no matter what, and drive as if they are trying to flee from the demons of their previous birth! If you are hit by a vehicle from behind, then it was your fault, you shouldn’t have been on the road at that moment! Couldn’t you see, the driver of the vehicle behind yours was in a great hurry because he was in a great hurry, emergency, you know, call of Nature! By all rights, when you drive in Delhi, you are driving in a Grand Prix, re-living glorious moments of your win in that game, “Need for Speed”. You have so many Schumachers in Delhi, I wonder why we don’t have a Grand Prix circuit in Delhi! As for me, I try to mind my business and not get into the way of the Grand Prix drivers of Delhi. I maintain a respectable distance behind the Aces of Delhi, and let them overtake me even if we meet again at the red light ( what with him glaring at me for the affront of catching up with him, and me smiling at him apologetically!).

Save the Tiger!

They tell us to save the tiger! But why do they

turn a blind eye to the poaching of Tigers?

They say the Tiger is our National Animal,

So Shera is the mascot of the Commonwealth

Games! Tiger ,Tiger, in death you serve as an

Aphrodisiac! You are our National export to

serve the needs of impotent people. Tiger

Tiger, what can I do to save you? I covet your

Territory to build my homes and my industries!

Tiger, tiger make way for me, I am the Tiger of

today’s concrete jungle! Your growl has turned to

a whimper Of a child crying for his mother

who will not return because poacher uncle has shot

her dead! Tiger, tiger,you are more valuable dead

than alive! Your body-Parts fuel the avarice of men.

Tiger,tiger you are History, you are another Dodo!

I am stronger than You, make way for me,

An impotent human being

who fuels his sexual drive through you, I have a gun

Which will show who is King, its growl is

Louder than yours! Tiger tiger make way for

Me, the new Lord of the World!

Your days are numbered, I am greater

Than you, the new Lord of the Jungle!

 

This is a self written poem by me I hope You liked it! Aircel, thank you for reminding me about the plight of the Tigers in India. Their

Advertisement is a poignant reminder of the plight of the tiger which is our National Animal! Unfortunately, Project tiger is a miserable failure, and today we have very few tigers left in a

country known for its tigers!
