Remember the time when I was stuck in traffic and saw a miracle... If not then read one of my previous posts called Lights Out!!!! before reading this one (it's pretty simple, scroll down and you will find blog archive, I am sure since you have reached my blog, you will be able to find a post called Lights Out!!!!)
Ok, Back to this one now...
So, now you all know how I love my sleep and how I hate getting up. The only difference between that morning and this morning is that I too go to a job now, so, its kinda mandatory for me to get up early......
I do not get up to the howling of my sister now, I get up to the irritating noises of my mobile phone. It's actually not that simple but more on that later.............
Now that I am up, I go to the bathroom high on sleep, walking unsteadily. I half brush my teeth and well there is nothing like partial loo or I would have done that also, though I might have trouble in the office (please don't try this at home)......
I take a bath, look at myself in the mirror and thank god I don't have hair to comb. I have my breakfast and then I get into the car with my sister and start off, again to face the same old traffic, shouting, the showing of fingers and what all and what not.....
Finally I come to a red light...................
AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME I SEE A MIRACLE........................... AGAIN.................
The light in front of me was not working and still every one was following the traffic.....
Shocking right.... I was taken aback... I mean this is India... this sort of thing cannot happen... as a matter of fact it cannot happen anywhere in this world cause we are humans and we are not suppose to use our brains and apply ourselves if the lights are not working... we cannot think like this at least not all of us at the same time... I can really go on and on and on cause I was absolutely awestruck...
But then I started looking around and I saw that only the lights in front of me were broken and the rest of them were working and the traffic was moving according to them.....
I know I am a careless person who is bad at observing things right in the morning. But the rest of them around me showed amazing presence of mind, all at the same time without any problems and the traffic, well, it moved peacefully, shouting, howling, showing fingers and what all and what not.......

haha.. I suppose the moral of the story is to be alert & observant? I don't blame you though, probably you were way too far to see the other lights at first. ^^ ha..what a typical day to work. Traffic... i hate those.
haha! wouldn't it be nice if everyone could move peacefully along like that without any outside instruction? the thought is quite lovely, but very unrealistic
Ching Ya: Traffic is such an integral part of our lies now that I would feel very weird without it. Even though I hate it too...
Flightpretendment: I agree with you. Just that I always feel that there is still hope...
future mantra: Thanks for your visit. will definitely check it out and give my comments. I am sure that my friends here will definitely come to your site if they read your comments and if you liked my blog may be you can tell your pals as well. I would love to have some more people around.
I do suffer in the mornings too when I was a teenager but nowadays, I'm going through the opposite. I seem to sleep very little these days. Strange when I think about it.
