Now that I am done fiddling with the template here and pretty much satisfied with the current look, lets start writing right?
Today's papers had a front page story on road rage and a man who was killed on the roads after a fight. It was the most disturbing thing to read early morning when I usually munch my toast and sip my tea. What kind of people are these? Who simply beat a man mercilessly to death just coz their vehicles scraped each other??!
Apparently, the victims car was scraped by a bike with two guys on it and they had an argument. Later when this man drove away, these men followed this guy to the next intersection and this time were joined by three other friends. They caught up, beat this guy and finally hit his head with a stone flower pot ... leaving him to die...
Road Rage is an urban disease...a menace. One that sadly we bring upon ourselves. Everyone's in a rush to get somewhere...people have no regard for traffic rules...regulations. I mean hey if we're not gonna get caught...so who cares right if I skip one red light or overtake from the wrong side? Or if I speed a litte? And watch out dude if you hit my car, I'm gonna smash your face!!! Or do you know who I am ... do you know who I know??!!
The guy yesterday was on his way home from the gym.... going back to his family ... a son and a daughter and his wife! Who would've thought he would never make it home?
Everytime R gets into an altercation on the roads...my heart races. I know he wouldn't hurt anyone but what do I know of the guy in front of him? Who knows who has a gun these days.... there are instances galore of people getting shot and deliberately run over.
What kind of people are these? Where does all this rage stem from? How do they simply kill a perfect stranger? If they're leading stressful unhappy and angry lives, that's their problem! How does lashing out on a stranger on the road make things any better?
It's a sad world we live in. Will things change? How will they? Who will...make the first effort to say "hey sorry...I should have been more careful".... Is "sorry" such a dirty word?

The one happy thing today is of course the fact that it is Vedant's birthday :) :) ... that happiness is shared in my daily blog :)

The song playing is unrelated to the post... from the movie "cash"... the title track! Yes I know...sounds like u've heard it before ;-)
