the mythological road block

i am trying to get back from office quickly, there is a cricket match and some cool refreshing drink waiting for me at home.. given the time of the day, i was hoping to be in the saddle pretty quickly, (for the uninformed, it is a a lounge chair with holders for remote and crisps)but my designs are unformed by some unique formations.

my battered aim and shoot tinbox, normally very good at mol(e)ing through available space, was being totally nullified today by this unique road phenomemon. 3 plying autos, decked up as bollywood props, had conjured up an arrowhead combination, their collective width matching the road. unfortunately time has significantly diminished the speed of this present day arrow head, it compares poorly to the ones from our mythological heros.. cast in a Abhimanyu like situation, their limited horse power can get them into these formations, but not out of. bringing up the rear of this formation is not very exhilarating by any means, if u discount highs from petrol fumes

To understand the influence that our epics have had on our pysche, you just need to get into a vehicle and attempt to cross a roundabout. it resembles a charkavyuh, and everyone seems inspired by jayadrata, all intent on closing the smallest gap for traffic from the any other direction to pass, even if it you are the recipient of the next block..

on the same point, Bhagavad Gita like scenarios are ubiquituous on roads, with one angry gentlemen preaching someone else of his duties while armies of vehicles are unmoving, if only slightly more boisterous, onlookers. blame it on the modern day horns

the entire fracas is just as much about a needle point’s of land. the only difference seems to be that while the earlier one got over in some 17 glorious days, there seems no end in sight. afterall, one has to follow ones karma
