What a Shame!!

Strange I'd never heard of this so called "Bikers Club" that creates havoc on Delhi roads couple of times in the month! I first heard of it while watching one of the news channel. 100-200 odd bikers on the roads...speeding and having fun at the expense of other commuters discomfort...eve teasing on the roads and then attacking the cops who came to restore normalcy. What a SHAME!!!

Not that these guys are criminals or from a bad lot. They appear to be from normal families yet look what happens in a mob situation. Your reasoning goes for a toss. Pity! And I wonder what kind of upbringing these guys have had....I mean tomorrow if my son were to indulge in this kind of behaviour I would question myself...What did I not get right?! The parents of the guys...I really wonder if they were so ignorant of where or what their children or in some cases *grown* men were doing?!

Stuff like this disgusts me. Remember the kids in Gurgaon who hit the watchman of a building? And how the parents of the kid actually defended their kid! Agreed they're young and reckless ... whose fault is it? And then instead of making them realize the gravity of the situation, parents simply set an even worse of example by not even admitting their child made a mistake...a huge one that could have cost a poor man his life??! And why the hell, did they let an underage kid drive a car??!! What kind of families are these??!!

I really really worry about the kind of friends V will be interacting with as he grows up. Sometimes I feel all these schools with their fancy images and insanely high fees are all hogwash! If need be I won't hesitate to pull him out of the one he is in, if I have to keep him away from kids of such irresponsible parents. It's one of my biggest insecurities coz I know all kids go through an age when friends mean everything and God forbid he gets into *wrong* company...It'll be hell getting him back on track.

Back to the "Bikers Club"... I saw the media clippings on TV and these guys looked they could hardly care and all that mattered to them was having FUN and showing off big time. No regard for anyone or anything.

One cameraman of the TV channel was bashed up bad by these "biker" goons so that these images wouldn't make it to the news. The cops managed to arrest 40 odd guys but then if it's true that many are from well to do families and we already know the kind of value system they have from these incidents....we can be assured that these guys will pay off the system and get away scott free...!! And get back to hounding the city streets...

As though having to worry about terrorists and bombs, blue line bus accidents and killings and diseases like Dengue and what not were not enough to deal with!!!
