Blogging vs Jogging

Dear ALL !

A daily post is as invigorating to the mind  as  is a daily dose of one hour walk to the body ! If you can do both simultaneously, you could save an hour every day. Not a far fetched idea. Only, people on the road might think that yet another old man has gone crazy !

Talking of walking , I had a generation-gap shocker of an experience yesterday.

After my walk, I was waiting at the 'zebra crossing' planning to cross the road.I was very watchful as vehicles were coming from my right towards the left , and from four roads, as it was a junction. Perhaps, I was concentrating too much...I heard a beep - in my left ear. I turned my head to the left and saw a Sheena with her cub on a scooty glaring at me. " WON'T YOU MOVE ?"..she screamed, and as I stepped forward, she quickly passed behind me reached the junction , turned left, and entered into my colony. The entire path which her scooty took was IN THE WRONG DIRECTION and AGAINST THE TRAFFIC FLOW.

Rarely do old men get roughed up by the genext. Usually, it is an ,"Uncle, please give way.." or something of that sort.

While my mind was obviously upset at this imperfect climax to a perfect body exercise, it craved for some action. I crossed the road and followed her into the colony main road (that's the way I reach my home- so nothing out of the way !).

I saw her park her vehicle in front of the medical shop, reached her and gave her a  piece of my mind about road rules and who was at fault. She wouldnt relent, what we call as 'ego'. She said something like ,"I have some work" and started her scooty and went further into the colony. "Bachke kahan jayegi..!" my mind said as I walked further deep into the colony (again perfectly in order, as it was the way I go home).

A few yards down the road, near a juice vendor, I see her talking (about an old man NOT GIVING WAY, NO MATTER HOW MUCH SHE HONKED) - to a young man who was patiently nodding his head (only husbands exhibit this behaviour !). Honestly, I only heard a beep. Once again , I stop, confirm that he is her husband, and tell him that she was the one who was wrong. I get an apology from her husband and a "doesn't anyone make any mistakes anytime ?" - kind of apology from the lady.

Before a crowd gathered, we decided to call it a day sorry night.
Tomorrow, I decided to look for vehicles from my left too, hope she will come from my right !
I often wonder, are rules different for different people on the road ?

Good Day
