Wrongside Ahmedabad

since roads have started becoming wider and to ensure smooth flow of traffic, entry points are getting blocked by the authorities , the new menace on ahmedabad roads are visible.

PEOPLE OF ALL CLASS,ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES DRIVING RAMPANTLY ON THE WRONG SIDE.

Last Saturday , I was passing through Nehrunagar cross roads and was stuck due to traffic jam and after a while it got cleared and what I am seeing is completely baffling me, A lady driver , accompanied by another female friend driving Brand New Honda City - this leads me to believe that lady comes froma affluent family and would have been educated well enough to know english and traffic rules, was on a wrong side of a road and abusing Driver of the bus and all passer by who were trying to put some sense in to her .

This is new ahmedabad for all of us , though they saying still stands that "Jab Kutte pe Sassa aaya tab Badshah ne Shaher Basaya " and that is how ahmedabad came in to existence, which also gives you understanding that the power of air and water in ahmedabad gives strength to anyone , but this is just mind boggling ,

first She is on the wrong side- the fault of breaking the law, blocking the traffic and causing national wastage of fuel and creating pollution and top of it abusing from an airconditioned top end car to people who are standing on road, completely shameless behaviour .

This calls for introspection for everyone , the list is very long , people who believe in women lib, go easy on traffic offenders, no harsher punishment of violation of law, scent respect for fellow commuters , capitalism in the society (or it is ok to have unequal distribution of wealth) , people in the traffic and police department, the it goes on......

My understanding here is that , discipline comes from within, it is like believing in God, or Truth . It is a question of answering self - will it be right if I do this ? will it be ok if people do this to me ? and this also speaks volumes about our society is shaping for future , I saw even kids stuck in the traffic( kids returning on a saturday afternoon from school ) and looking at the women helplessly who was depriving them of early lunch and waiting in the hot sun .


I am looking for diving intervention to correct things here....

and pardon me for putting my thoughts randomly.....
