Yesterday as I was walking on Marine drive, I saw something horrific: two guys on a two wheeler, driving really fast in the middle of the road, skid. There was a huge/heavyweight truck right behind them, and as they looked behind, the horror on their faces was amazing. It was the face of death.
I have started driving again, and I feel it important to make some rules for myself - stuff that will save me from such incidents, even though I'm in a car.
1. Don't drive faster than 60 in a city road.
2. There is NO rush to get anywhere. If I have to "rush" then I'm lte already. May as well be another 20 minutes late.
3. Don't take the car everywhere. I don't want to get used to that luxury. This has two benefits: I get time to read, write and think, and I get to meet/see various kinds of people.
If I'm used to the car, there may be a time when I would just feel negative (and spoil my mood) if I have to take public transport.
Considering there are so many people who don't realize this, or they realize and don't apply it, I don't wish to add myself to that list.
4. Finally, I want to enjoy each moment of driving. A car is a modern marvel - it gives us a sort of superpower - of getting to places fast. If in traffic, I'd rather play the music and wait rather than honk. Honking doesn't do much other than spoiling my mood.
That's it!
Peace & love people!
