During my last visit to India, I realized this in a more prominent way.
People are always in a hurry, doesn't even care about the fellow being next to them. All want to finish of the things in a hurry to take over the next activity without even bothering on how his/her activities are affecting others around him/her.
While I was on my way to Trivandrum, I gave way for a car driver who is trying to overtake my car, through the busy morning traffic. After overtaking me this fellow is trying to overtake the KSRTC Bus [Public Transport Bus] in front of him. To my surprise, he couldn't till we three reached Trivandrum.
Reason is that the KSRTC driver dint allow the car to overtake him, even though the car driver gave enough signals to emphasize his urgency.
The Behavior of this KSRTC Driver was, as if he is leading a motor race event and he successfully blocked the second guy and wins the race at last.
This is one of the incident I came across my short days in Kerala.
Are they actually winning in this race. To me, they are loosing out and the worst pathetic thing is that they themselves doesn't realize this.
Why can't you show some kindness to others?
What loss will you encounter in conducting a warm conversation rather to shout at others?
What will happen if you give way to a fellow passenger who is in a hurry?
Guys & gals please understand that, apart from you and your family members, rest of the world consist of human beings who deserves importance from you... just like the way you want!
