You say there’s noise? Well, I honestly don’t feel that way at all.

I drive this vehicle on the roads every single day…I mean, that’s the plan. That’s what I intend to do.

Then the red signal comes up, I stop…

Some people start honking. I look at the signal. They honk again.

I politely move aside and give them space…

See, that’s just how we communicate, this isn’t noise, it’s a form of social interaction!

What’s the big deal? You say traffic has increased… Oh come on…

Every day, it’s just me and my bike…alone.

Everyone else? They’re fellow citizens! Since when did people become traffic?

And anyway, aren’t we supposed to see God in every person?

So technically, this massive crowd is just divine darshan in different forms!

Pollution, you say? I completely disagree.

The clouds of smoke and dust is purest form of air mind it!

You just have to move forward calmly, inch by inch, breathing it all in. That’s how it goes… globally!

Then, deciding that the signal must’ve turned green… It needs not turn on its own ..it’s your wish and will which allows you decide colour right? one car zooms ahead.

It bumps into me, and I can’t help but say, “What’s this? Why so much hurry?”

And I get the bold, unapologetic reply: “Yes, I am.”

So understand … everyone except you is in a hurry and they have a right to go ahead!!!

Then the light turns green… and out of nowhere, appears a man in fluorescent gear blowing his whistle with divine enthusiasm…Before me, a symbol of our nation’s progress is slowly taking shape…Because humans just can’t handle the formless.

We need statues, symbols—and yes, we want progress too!

So this fluorescent guide, working with the crane, becomes an object of awe, etched into every mind watching from the road.

Then the crowd-that-isn’t-a-crowd grows restless.The silent horns (that don’t make noise, remember?) are all you hear!We continue to flow forward, proudly embracing pollution like a badge of honor!

Ohhh what’s that you say…there’s no discipline? Oh, I agree completely.

THE ONLY THING MISSING IN OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!…I know adding number of exclamations won’t be an answer _/\_
