Rules of The Road ...

After buying the car , since last three weeks am gng home in car and returning ..
and teaching my father and sister how to drive on weekends,

In these days, while coming and gng to karnal through NH1 , G.T.Road ...
I have often been wondering about rules of the road ...
Dont get confused or worried , I know all the written rules .. I am just talking abt the unwritten one's ...

As it happens ..
Everytime i go on that root .. there are more than 3 -4 trucks tilted, may the night before ...
May be the driver was drunk or whatever ...
Small cars badly smashed by some heavy weight vehicle. ...
Dead dogs and other small animals ...
Cars speeding at 120 or kph rushing .. as if they are all very busy and cant spare 5 more mins when it can avoid unnecssary risk to their and others life.
Even the bike riders are not less.. they also driving at more than 100... knowing the risk to their life is more as compared to 4 - wheelers ...

Does such incidences occur in ignorance or thrill (of god knows what ?)
Who is responsible and who bears the pain ?
When will learn out responsibilities ?
When will learn the unwritten rule of the road . . .
Is it when something will occur to us or our dear ones ...
I think its always wiser to learn from mistakes of others ...

The car and The First scratch ...

Car , a new Car , one of the first dreams that go towards fulfilment ..
once you enter the job life ...
For yourself or family ... it doesnt matter ...
After 4 months of speculations .. moments of arrival to moments of distance ..
the final decision to buy had to be my father's ...
Finally, thanks to sister and mother for helping come to conclusion,
We buy a i10 Magna on my B'day ... 05 June 2009 .

Now, was the task of teaching my father and sister how to drive...
The task is in progress... and will be in progress... till god knows when .. :)

Anyways, that was the story of car , but then the first fear of a buyer of new car ..
THE FIRST SCAR on the shining and glitering face of car ...
It has to happen sooner or later ... if you live in a city like delhi, noida or bangalore ....
Or .. as it happened in a city like karnal ..

When i went for getting no. written on no. plate .. the road was too thin ..
full of bikes ... as it was a car/bike market ...
i look for a shop and looking at the scene ahead .. regretting that i entered the street.
Soon there was jam and sharp bike horns and shouting people ... "Iss gali mein log car kyun le aatein hein ... " Even I was wondering the same ... :)
Deciding there was no way back . i decided to move ahead and there was a "sabzi wala thela" on way way .. with the seller .. sayin 'le aao bhaiya .. gaadi nikal jaayegi' .. believing on his verdict .. i give little speed .. and bang .. bang .. the little scrach on the back door ...
wat could be done ...
The car was no more a new ... it had a little first scar on its body ...
Shining like the car .. reminding .. as it always will of this incident ...
