Can you ever imagine sitting here in Kolkata that you are stiff-jawed obedient to the traffic rules when there is no traffic police? People will laugh at you, if you are one.
I had been to Sikkim recently and even the most uneducated driver obeys the traffic rules there. They do not blow the horn unnecessarily as a precautionary measure because one, the chances of accidents are less because even when the road is empty, they stick to the left instead of the middle and, finally it was rather queer for me to know from a driver, who has never been to school, perhaps,and supposedly knows even less than my seven-year old son, that blowing horns indiscriminately causes noise pollution, and apart from rules being very strict at Sikkim, all the drivers maintain that, even when there is no chance of Police catching them.
We, the Kolkatans, are to laugh at such a joke and cuddle that how fool the people at Sikkim are.
