The Honking Saga of Pesky Motorists! :P

Saturday, August 11, 2012

Honk, Honk! Move you idiot, I am late for my office! I am quite perplexed by the way people honk in India. Is it due to the urgency (which can be disregarded) or is it congenital malady. People honk as if they are the ones who alone in the best interests of the country ‘politicians’ have paid taxes, everyone here is paying taxes so the politicians can fill in their bank accounts but, that is altogether a different issue! Let us not get into discussing a "helpless cause"!

I have seen idiots honking while in traffic jams, do they wish ‘Superman’ to come and pick them up? How on earth could one possibly make his way through near a traffic signal (where in sane people’s dictionary Red indicates stop) by honking? Some to please their little babies sound the horn, don’t they know the horn is perturbing outside; let me tell you that is not poignant if you think it is!


Many people have the fetish for horns; the road appears to be a Disneyland for such idiots. The moment the start the vehicle horn is the first thing they go for then what are gears provided for? Shoving them somewhere? The road appears to be ant-less for about 150-200 meters and people come honking creating cacophony all around! What for? Now, if you feel you might run over a cockroach passing by; then let me tell you running over a cockroach will not fetch you a fine but, honking relentlessly will.

The 4 wheel motorists tend to have a different mentality all together. Once they own a car they tend to develop a superiority complex.“You drive around as you like and honk around as you like”, is the tag-line that they inherit from the showroom while they purchase a car.
People’s tryst with horns doesn’t quite end here. 

Some honk for the lone fact of showing they are being careful but, in fact end up being pretentious douche bags! 



People in India tend to lack some basic common sense in many aspects, and this being the prime one. You aren’t the only one who is in a hurry, and even though it is hurry is it that important to break the peaceful environment around you. Neither honking will not get you across the road, nor does shouting expletives by lowering the window of you so-called luxury car. Everyone wants to get ahead of the traffic and people have figured it out that honking is the only way of doing that. No, it isn’t you idiots this is not a Formula1 race for heavens sake!

Some honk only because the person ahead of him is honking. If he can, then I can; that is one hell of an attitude and is preposterous. Honking is not a serenade that you motorists feel it is. And, not to mention motorcyclists have the propensity at all times to be gregarious and in being so they climb up the footpath which is if I am not wrong for pedestrians! 

One cantankerous moron feels that he had enough with the traffic and starts honking unremittingly and "Kyun ki it is India" others follow suit. Only for the lone fact, they don’t want to be left out and end up being a social outcast! And, God help us if it is congenital! _/\_



There seems to be no alleviation from this idiocy. I wish in future automobiles are manufactured with no horn in them, and if they do intend to sneak in one; sounding it incessantly should fetch them personal vendetta rather than a mere fine! :P

Adios!

Haha! :-D
Hilarious post. You have penned down your woes perfectly and I love the way you have ended it.

And few things are just tough to learn, for us, the Indians and whenever I see junkies talking about traffic rules, it just makes me think-Who are we kidding? We basically suck at few things and traffic rules just top the "few things" list.

Yeah, traffic always tops the list! ;-)
