I was driving home the other evening after work. Slumped in my seat with some random radio channel on I stopped at a traffic signal.
Ahead of me was this Maruti WagonR, a very famous Indian hatchback. My initial reaction was wow someone finally stopped at the signal. But in a few seconds, I could see two kids playing in the car. Signal turned green and the cars moved, I was still behind this WagonR, both kids got up and peeped from the rear windshield and started shooting at me with imaginary guns. I did the same and they laughed and ducked.
Good nice small game I would play with my friends and cousins as well as a kid. Then I took over and drove home remembering how life changed. How I am doing things I never imagined to do. I am an ordinary Indian living a normal life and maybe that’s what’s right (or not?).
Was there a police officer nearby?? Or was the road way too busy??? Because as an Indian I refuse to believe that people stop on traffic lights on their own without some guidance from the traffic police officer. Now, I’m very curious .
