It’s Monday morning. I was absolutely not in the mood to go to office.
Monday, I think it will be one of the Best day or one of the laziest day of the week.
Probably due to the fact that either I will be over enthusiastic or lazy even to go to office.

I got ready at 8.10 AM, I was on my Pulsar to the office. I absolutely in the mood of great driving. Mainly beacuse of the very less traffic and noise. I was enjoying my drive. By 8.25, I was in Dairy Circle. Suddenly a fellow at the distance of 10-15 meters was crossing the road and I saw him passing by and made the buzzar. He just did not care about the horn and he was crossing the road as if he is in morning walk in the beautiful park.

Forget about the man stopping to cross the road, he even did not think to turn around and think. He was in that jolly mood till my vehicle has reached almost near to him. Then he started going fast as I was about to hit him. This is a very usual scenerio in Bangalore now-a-days.

I started shouting at that guy as to why he did not look and stop while crossing the road though it made no impact on him. Another fellow passing by causually told to me, sir, Nothing has happened, you can contuinue your way.

It made to re-think, why some people just walk as if they have nothing to loose in middle of the road. Is it not the responsibility of the person walking by to look around and then proceed. Does he unaware of the rule that we should not cross something like this? This happens so many times to most of us. Somewhere either the point is some people are arrogant or completely unaware of the traffic rules… hmm.. I dont know what is it???

One thing is that fortunately I was not too fast and able to avoid the accident. Thank God!!
