'Whoa' said a car-driver!!
Whats with the car drivers? Why dont they let the pedestrains cross the tiny stretch of road, peacefully without a care?
One day, at a sub-crossing, there was a car to my left waiting for the road to clear, No motion on his side.. even after that.. so assumed I was the one to move.. when there was a half of the car to be passed..he felt like wearing the driver hat...he's like 'whoa!'.. like I appeared there out of nowhere... I am short.. and I know the car bonnet is high, but still how would you explain if you did the same to a kid.. The only vaguest understandable point would be , that it was around 10.00 in the night...
Recently at around small place, when my friend and I were just about to cross the road, a couple realises that its strange for people to walk on a green sign exactly when they want to claim the road.. Its not like we are in a forbidden zone.. or you are in some alien world where 'all green signals' are meant for you...
And just about today morning, when I the bus I thought I would take turned out to be full, the driver aved a hand, indicating 'no seats'...
Even if having one imbecile making aturn in an undecipherable way causing every worry to the pedestrians.. another thought ..'oh, why not.. I am sure they can take this..' How whatever-savvy can you get that you expect the pedestrians crossing the road, to wait and watch your feats and then be run over, just in case , they are enthralled by your skill on wheels...
And then there's another such incident, which scared me so much.. I thought I was crossing the wrong light.. and I thought that was gonna be the last anyone would see or hear me.. Gladly no!
But looks like there's no end to such freaks!! And sometimes when I am running , while there's enough time to walk.. it feels odd.. 'But now.. no amount of caution is too much...' I do not know if this act of running, statistically makes any difference to my probability of brushes with the devil?
And no its not over yet.. I do not know if having a fancy terminology .. called 'power brake' makes it any intellectual.. its unbearable... Clearly the roads will never get dirty.. what with the metro buses and their techno brakes.. all the dust on the road and from the chimney is all spewed onto the unexpected pedestrians, like it was some punishment.. Hello, dont choke me.. walking's no crime!!
