Will we ever learn?

I’m back to my bickering. Cant help it much. When I see nonsense and I’m not allowed to do what I’m supposed to, it bothers me.

Traffic and the Desi attitude: By far, I find this to be the most annoying one. Everybody wants to go first. Picture this – where there’s traffic on one end, all the vehicles from the other end will just cram up wherever there’s space. Numb skulls dont realize that its clogging the whole freaking road. The point is “Even if I dont get it its fine, but I need to ensure that YOU dont get it.”  And to do this, we’ll break signals, bribe the Pandus, runover innocnet people. Killing people here is not that big a crime if you got the power of Vitamin M. Again the same shit starts. Buy witnesses, kill ‘em or destroy them, bribe babus.. Somewhere I feel Mustaine had India in mind when he was writing Killing is my business. 

Mob Mentality: This you can find everywhere. Where there are queues, mob mentality makes its ugly presence felt. Simplest of all examples. Lunch time and Cafeteria. Instead of behaving in a disciplined way and waiting for my turn, I’ll just pounce on the guy who’s serving food. I’ll just shove my plate into his face and scream “Dal Rice aur pappad”. I’m not just alone there. There are scores and scores of hungry (since last few months, perhaps??) wolves who do this and this just scares the jeebies outta the poor guy on the other end. Most popular examples of it being our marriages, functions and festivals. My due respects to everyones’ sentiments, but just one thing. You book a hall or a hotel or a whatever, get inside that room and do whatever you feel like doing. Why block the roads with some band playing the lousiest of music and cause traffic? And when there’s traffic, refer above.

Crazy conversations at a holy place: Like, I come to this temple everyday, observe fast for 8 days a week (^&^#*(@#), my son is doing his PhD in USA (so???), my daughter cooks well and so on. C’mon! Who gives a damn! Your daughter being a good cook or son doing his PhD is not gonna be a life transforming piece of information to us. Just shut up, pray and get lost, will ya? On the hindsight, dear God, I feel sorry for you.

We’ll never understand that one doesnt need policing to behave well. Simple fact - Money can buy you everything, but not the basic etiquettes.
