As I rode on my scooter in the busy circle of Varanasi, in front of BHU gate, I saw that there was some commotion.
That circle is always crowded with all sorts things that create chaos, making hapless daily commuters do some acrobatics with their vehicles.
Someone on a motorcycle applied breaks and an auto- rickshaw hit the number plate of that motorcycle breaking it into two equal parts. Everything stopped.
'Who is that?' the owner of the motorcycle barked.
Mine was the nearest vehicle to him and that is why, I saw the rage in his eyes clearly.
'Pay for the damage' he roared at the rickshaw owner and the poor man put hands in his trouser pocket and gestured that it was empty.
The motorcycle rider climbed down from his bike, walked towards the rickshaw and held his victim's collar.
The poor guy's eyes filled with tears and he apologized repeatedly.
Ultimately the motorcycle rider showed some mercy and let him go.
Driving on busy Indian road may amuse some, but not me.
To enforce strict rules is the only way out.
