Irresponsible

My motorazr clocked 9:10 AM. Jawarhalal Nehru Inner Ring Road bulging as usual due to heavy traffic. HSB Mini tiffin is my dieting breakfast.

Rehman is singing "Pray for me Brother" in my 18 months old Ipod. I am looking for Itouch which is far more from my budget.

Waiting for red to cross to the road in Kasi theatre signal, I am enjoying the melody. Still I have 28 seconds before I cross the road. An office going lady is so impatient that she scared few motor cyclist. She is very brave and I can compare her to Mohammed Gajini. Howmany ever times she fails crossing road, she never gives up scaring the drivers.

Only 6 more seconds and the thank God green signal goes off and yellow blinks faintly as if it does want to look at me. "Come on Vasu. Ready to cross".

It is now I see one of unforgettable sorry unforgivable scene. A donkey from behind me starts crossing the road. You may think how stupid I am and what is really great in donkey crossing. Your mind wouldn't ask such a question if you see how the donkey cross.

Both the front legs are tied together and rear legs together. Donkey can hardly move 15 centimeter each times it hops. I am unable to do anything except to follow that. I am saying myself - "Owner of this donkey could have tied it to a pole instead of this".

No one in the road seems to pity for this creature. It was moving slowly that I have just 3 seconds of stipulated 15 seconds to cross the road. Even I joined the pool of other people. I rushed to other end of the road while that donkey was half way in the road.

Green lights truns on and all the drivers races their engine as if they are in a formula one circuit. Few of them doesn't care for this donkey, rest all followed this donkey inch by inch striking at the automobile horn. I just waited on the platform just scolding myself.

Days rolled on. It is IPL season and today it isChennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians. I am on my way home. It is quiet early I left office than I used to. Thankfully I didn't had to wake up Raja in his early morning. Anand dropped me at Udhayam. From there I took 11G, way to my home.

Usually I go to Maami's hotel for dinner. Today it is early for dinner and also I have planned for dinner at home; so started walking home from the stop. Got attarcted towards the cricket match, I started watching it in one of the TV dealer shop on the way. There are already a group of cricket lovers standing in front of me. One of them looks to me as Chappell. The way he speaks techniques about the leg glance - wow amazing.

Let me come to the point - All the motor cyclist, irrespective of the age stops their bike (not engine); watches few deliveries; enquires the score and leaves the place in hesitation as if a kid goes unwillingly to school.

I went home thinking above two incidents. One- people rushing in the signal not caring for a any one in the road and another - where they stop their vehicle, watch cricket (in which a player earns in thousands of US dollars per season). I am sorry you are a cricket lover.

My question - People tend to wait, enquire score and move slowly when it comes to cricket. Why don't they wait for anyone in the signal (In this case donkey whose legs are tied) to cross the road?

My Debut

Many times when I surf through many articles, I think I will register my opinion in my blog. It never happened till yesterday. But now at this moment I falsified that.

Yes today I have one in my name and this is my first post in that blog. Several times I keep wondering why Anand waits for reader's feedback about his article. Anand now I know what comments really means.

I start my blogging today and will keep writing my thoughts, views, questions, answers, etc.
