Ok, so how many of us have to weasel our way through the most annoying thing that they call “Traffic”? With road rage being so rampant, and blood pressure levels venturing beyond the 80-120 mark, it is time some
So, where exactly do we look? Remember, the ride isn’t still over! (that’s right, I’m assuming a two wheeler ride). Well, the answer is simple! Look at other people who are in the same situation you are in. And oh Boy! You’ll notice there are so many kinds of people than you ever thought of…all waiting at the same place, for the darned vehicles to move! Anyway, here are some that I’ve noticed, and I claim, if people relate it to themselves, I’m not responsible in any way… I just happen to be a good observer!
- The “I steal glances” type
With their spouse seated behind, and uncomfortable glances at the ‘cute-person-driving-the-car’, these people top the list any day! Yeah, wearing those glasses within the helmet doesn’t seem to help any further, it is evident that they aren’t seeing the signal lights. An occasional yawn and those stretches don’t help hide the gesture either! Even worse, them trying to come up with something to speak to the pillion, and stare at the car in pretext of turning back!
- The “$%^&#@” kind
The most hated. They prove the phrase “tranquil before a storm” right! So calm, so peaceful they seem, yet, just a tiny little mistake from others can trigger their wrath, and snap! they go at it. All the swear words you can think of - they know it, they use it! Had they used their time in developing a productive vocabulary, they’d have scaled heights in literature, or we’d have had better RJs than we have!
- The “I just love my smile” kind
‘Nothing’ sets them smiling, and nothing can seem to stop them from smiling too! No matter if the weather’s too hot, the truck just deposited a layer of soot on their “white” clothes, the sound of the vehicles horn is incessant, or even if the traffic jam has made sure they get late to work, the smile is simply stuck on their face! Three cheers to their optimism!
- The “yes, I frown” kind
Remember, as a kid, we were told of stories of the ‘angel’ having an ‘evil twin’? Well, this is somewhat similar. While the previous category people smile, these have a frown stuck on their face…Yeah, even when they aren’t angry with anybody! Can’t really blame them, they must be drowned in thoughts so deep. I wonder what they do when they have to get their pictures taken…
- The “I rule the road” kind
A pretty good picture of the “King of the Road”, sung by Roger Miller. Except, they aren’t really the nomads they portray to be, with hair longer than their wife’s, tattoos all over, piercings, and all other painful stuff imaginable! Cruising along on their bikes, there’s sure enough hot air around them to fill a balloon! All they seem to know is to honk; and when they do honk, they are expected to get the way. Of course, their look aides this very purpose very well!
P.S: More categories might follow. As I see it, this can be a topic of constant research!!!

The “I steal glances” type
-- Hehe :)
By the way, I guess, you forgot to add the most important category. The "Observer types" , one in which you fall or our journalists who watch things happening there (hell, of course they enjoy all of this :D ).
Yeah, there is more to it, some people dream away when stuck in traffic. Dream away to home [;)] or people in their life.
Anyways, again, very well written.
Keep posting ;)
P.S. I have rarely stuck in any traffic jam :)
Hi.. Nice blog.. I was going through some random blogs n stumbled upon yours. It feels good to see someone who doesn't fall asleep during the "regular-sleeping hours".. I fall into the same category [:)]... keep writing..
@cheeku

ragular sleeping hours? you mean, 5 AM or 6.30 AM? I'd say, join the bandwagon...cos incidentally, there are many more than you can presume!
