Give me REDDDD!!

It will be sometime before I get used to the blogging ways. I visited some of the blogs and should I say I was bowled over by the effort that went into them! Its not only about writing, its also about organizing thoughts and laying them out in a user friendly way.

"Why do people jump red lights?" - I have asked myself this question time and again. Okay, since I am also a part of the 'people', Let me ask myself - "Why do I jump red lights?"

These are some of the answers that strike me:

1. It gives me sheer pleasure. In fact nothing beats the pleasure of having successfully jumped a red light. It gives me a feeling of superiority that I am smarter than the poor guys who follow the rules.

2. I suffer from colour blindness and often confuse Red with Green. Usually that colour blindness lasts till the time I am driving. I do not bring red vegetables home when my wife asks me to get fresh green ones.

3. I had already had the frustration of waiting at 3-4 red lights in a row and I just can't bear the stress anymore. So, I decide that no matter what the next one is going to be, I WILL cross it anyway.

4. Last but not the least, the ubiquitous phenomenon the world thrives on - "I am getting LATE!!".
Yes Yes! MY time is important. My bachcha is waiting for me home hoping Pappa dear will bring him some lollipops he promised. I am having a business meeting with Bill Gates and he has already waited for a good 35 minutes. After all, he too is a busy man like me. My wife has been waiting with the samosas she prepared for the evening naashtaa and has threatened she would feed me the same in dinner if I got late. So, you get my point right??
