In the traffic

After four continuous cloudy days in Banglore, the SUN came back.
Seems like it's a sunny day with some cool breeze. I was in the first traffic signal in my bike.From my home it's nearly 3km to office and I have to across 3 traffic signals.
That too heavy traffic and I had a meeting to attend also. I turned off the engine and observed the people around me because I had 180 seconds to 'green'.

I saw many people travelling in Volvo buses. Many of them were listening to music and some of them were sleeping. I saw the board of the bus. It said Electronic City.Now I got to know why people will sleep in the bus.(it takes 2 hours minimum to reach the destination).I saw a group of hijra's asking for money. A man who was talking too loud in a mobile phone. A woman in 'scooty pep' doing little touch up's. And there goes the green light.I started off in the slow moving traffic.

Onto the next signal. I was hoping that it would be green, so I drove fast as I could.
But when I reached there it was just 'red'.
I saw a policeman right in the middle of the road catching a rider in front of me who had jumped the signal. Suddenly I heard a familiar voice. I turned back.It was the same person whom I saw in the previous signal who spoke loudly. I heard the song 'Masakali' from an auto.
As I was enjoying the Rahman's creation, suddenly signal turned green.
Off I went to the next signal. To my luck the final signal was green.
I spend almost 30 minutes in the traffic. BY the time I reached office the team meeting has already started.

Sometimes it's good to observe people what they do. (not always!!)
Neither positive nor negative, you can learn something from it!
