Be there, n make a Difference

Hiiiii, I am back to writing after a long time….so this time it’s a post for a change and not a poem

Now, just as I began my bike journey today morning, I witnessed an accident which could have proven breath-taking in the ‘literal’ sense for someone. Two bicycle-riders, both having pillion riders, were made to bite the dust by a hurrying motor-cycle man. The guy on the mobike brushed the pillion rider on the outer bicycle.

The pillion rider fell on his right side and his sweater got hooked on the front-wheel break of another mobike rider who was just behind. Good thing that this one was not rushing and stopped there itself, or else the pillion rider would have gone sweeping the road…..and who knows how dangerous that might have gone on to be!!!

This popped a couple of question in my mind…
Do we really need to move so fast on the road endangering lives ?
What important job awaits us that we move in a flurry and get involved ( in accidents ) ?

Howsoever cliched it might sound, but if at all we have to reach somewhere for an important job or meeting or whatever, can we not leave a bit early ? I guess, we all are fully aware of the traffic situation in our respective localities or destinations. Then, why the last minute hurry ?

Also, do we really need to feel the adrenaline rush every morning and prove a point by driving fasssssssssst….? C’mon, I guess its time we gave it a serious thought !

We can all be personally responsible, at least for ourselves, and make a difference to the situation. It was just because the other mobike guy was slow that the cycle person was unhurt….imagine what would have happened if it was otherwise!!!

Agreed, it’s important to be “fast” in today’s world, but I believe being slow ( or for those who take it personally, safe ) on the road is not a bad choice either. What say, people ???
