The worse thing that happens to every metro is its TRAFFIC. Everybody is desperate to get through. No matter, if you are in hurry or not everyone wants to get through the signal. All this of course happens when the road is full. Horns honking and vehicles roaring. It’s just a very disturbing sight. What if the whole scenario is different. Not a vehicle on road. Streets empty, morning clear sky.
When nothing just fills the road, even a cool breeze I start from my home to college. Usually I take the ride while my dad prefers to take the pillion seat in the not so power full 90cc scooter, everything seems prefect. Empty morning road, sleepy pillion rider, a 90cc scooter, and a 19-year rider. The story is scripted. Yes, I try hard to hit the top speed. Hard, and really harder. I do not feel pit on the scooter as it’s loaded with loads that it is not comfortable handling. Yes, I feel it. The scooter sayings “come on its enough for today”. Even though there is no much traffic at that point of the day, there is a lot of traffic signal though. Moreover, I make it a point to look at them even I don’t bother to follow them. That decides the rest of my day. It is something like astrology column that everyone sees in the newspapers. The “traffic signal is mine”. I really look for “green signal”. It really has a great deal with the rest of my day. The boost of confident it pours into me is tremendous. The feeling is just amazing. It is not like I am rushing somewhere important, and I desperately need the traffic light to turn green. It’s a completely different feeling. It’s like God just talking to me. “Yes son it’s your day today”.
I just can understand, what’s in your mind right now. “What if it’s Red”. Did not I get you right! If its “Red”, I say to myself, “ it just going to turn green any way.” Nothing is permanent, everything has to change on. But still I want it green, though I know it’s going to change soon.
