Bottleneck

Im sure every person has a certain amount of tolerance level associated with him. After that is reached, either he/she tends to restrict themselves within that, others tend to break it and go mad ! Some have the ability to stay calm even if that tolerance level is reached, while some simply choose to ignore the fact that might push them over their tolerance level.

I feel the same thing happens to the common man in the country. They have their own problems in life to solve, own issue to look after, living their own lives. Above that if they have to face something out of the moon, like a terrorist attack, a bomb scare, and accident, a curfew, violence, political drama on the streets, or a simple getting caught by a policeman at a traffic junction just for the heck of it, no wonder people get impatient. For people these days do not even have the time to wait at a traffic signal, they just snarl past everything they can find to reach their destination.

It is a bottleneck situation that we face in a nation today. It is like a bubble, that can burst any day. An Indian in the past would have just left life to move ahead, through the potholed roads, or the leaking tap. The current Indian is from a different mindset. The time has come, that people take it into their hands to solve their own problems, by collaboration. It just means that their trust in the system has diminished to a new low, or they have just been woken up from a wild dream.

Any case,this example, where people in the city of Mumbai , chose to avoid cabbies and Autorickshaws for a day, to protest against their malpractices.I now hear that this would be spreading to other major cities soon. Now that is something.

A Telugu poet rightly says " A Nation doesnt mean all mud, a Nation means manpower "
