Illiterates in the neighborhood!



A Night before, I felt a strange anger and was furious on something, which I was completely not involved in.

A night before, at 11:30PM after hearing strange quarrel noises on the street, I ran to my balcony out of curiosity to see what was happening. And to my surprise I saw few people (guess of the same family) in two SUV’s banging on a white swift, that too, after they had broken its front glass. Not only that, soon after, they all came out and went to another car parked nearby and started beating up the two guys in it furiously. Of course being in the majority the family dominated the two young guys.

No rewards for guessing the illiterate reason behind the whole scene !!! It was parking!!!!
The two cars – the swift and i10, were parked on the side of the street (enough space for a car to pass by). This family, whom I’ll call educated illiterates and who really are not aware of the words called patience or calmness, could not stand a visitor’s car parked in their area.

That was not all, this family, who were fighting, as if their pops own the road and they have a legendary link to it… don’t even live there, they live on the next street but were just acting goons on our street. Is this what India all about! Grow up people… it’s time to look beyond these silly issues. There are many more things were you can utilize this energy and aggression. If you have it, use it wisely!

Today when India is going ahead and we are seeing positive developments around us, not only in the infrastructure but also in the lifestyle of the people. Today almost every middle class family go out on dinner once a week and have a holiday once a year. Percentage of the educated Indians is increasing and India is poised to compete with the developed countries in every arena. But all these advancements can’t cover for these stupid scenes, they are a shame to a cultured society and truly irritating to an Indian like me.  

Waiting for India to not only develop but grow up too !!
