Drive Carefully

After AGES something useful was posted in the BB today...and something THIS good is a first...
Felt everone HAD to read this...

(Deepak, this one's for you....)


Ordinary People

Walking on the road, you pass so many people. Some look confident, purposeful, well-dressed, well-maintained. But the majority appear so ordinary, wear ill-fitting clothes, unfashionable footwear, have too much fat or too little, nothing remarkable about them, nothing attractive.

But yet someone somewhere eagerly waits for this unimpressive man to come home every evening.Someone's entire world turns around the strength of this frail-looking woman.Someone's very purpose in life hinges on this brash youngster cutting through traffic.Someone knows only the shelter of these old arms each time their world begins to crumble.Someone will count hours, minutes, and weep like a child when this pock-marked face alights from a long-distance train.

Someone will cave in, crack up, and never be the same again if this one person disappears from the face of the world.

There are no ordinary people.

Drive carefully!

agree... until someone just walks listlessly across when one is driving at ones own idea of 'speed' on bangalore's infamous roads...
or when some cyclist zig zags close to you on the busy road...
they just dont care about your worry about their safety on the roads...forget your need to be on time for work....

by painting such anxious pictures of these ordinary-yet-extraordinary people we are mincing matters...
on the road they behave like they have 'told' their dearest folk(whose lives pivot about these jay-walkers/runners/cyclists/scooterists....)...not to bother...

thats why the careful driver shouts...yenri manelli helbit bandideera... ennna sami veetle sollitu vandengala...?
may sound funny but this is serious stuff...leads to driving stress...

Krithi,
I think Drive carefully just dont mean that u have to just take care of ordinary people walking , but u have to take care of u also.So If u take care of u that will find the solution for the other thing.
PS:Stop eating sweet urself before u advice others to stop.
I think this wont hurt u. Take care
