HORN OK PLEASE!!

Most Mumbaikars, particularly those traveling daily by road, would not be amused by the adjacent picture. Heavy traffic jams and break-down of vehicles at traffic signals are as much a part of Mumbai as is vada-pao.
The time one spends traveling by road from one place to another has gone up significantly in the past few years. And the increase in travel time, instead of improving our patience quotient, has made us more impatient and irate, to say the least. The moment the traffic light turns green, the guy behind you starts honking - like he missed the pole position in a F1 race and now wants to rush ahead of everyone. Worst still, if - by chance - your car fails to start-up in a traffic jam, you have had it. The guys behind you will start a symphony of horns - just that this one is no music to anyone's ears. "Horn bajao...traffic hatao"..this seems to be their motto.
Wonder how in the world will this honking help anyone in anyways. I mean common, the guys car's broken down. Nobody would like to stay in the middle of the road just like that. And all the honking does, if anything, is makes the poor driver sweat and increase noise pollution. Then some smart-ass dude from behind will stretch his vocal chords to advice you to move your vehicle - yes dude thats exactly what is not happening here, a@@hol#. Wouldn't it make more sense if instead of honking or screaming, the guys behind step out of their car and help you cart your vehicle to the side - solves the problem quickly and also keeps a check on the pollution!!

Maybe its time we graduate from "HORN OK PLEASE" to a sober "USE DIPPER" or even better "PLEASE WAIT FOR SIDE".
