A Pleasant Suprise!!
A pleasant surprise awaited me yesterday when I took the car out of my office. My office is right on Mount Road near the Nandanam Signal. It usually takes 2 to 5 minutes to get into Mount Road from my office in the evening peak hours and another 5 minutes to cross the signal. Since I need to take a U-turn at the Nandanam Signal, I always struggle and wait for the traffic to die down, which incidentally never happens, to cut across the road to reach the other end.
But yesterday it was all done in just 2 minutes. While coming out of the office, I was at the office gate probably for 15 seconds. Surprisingly a bus which was going straight stopped in front of the gate and the driver waved me to take the turn and also protected me from the traffic behind.
I waved him back with lots of appreciation and took the turn. Luckily for me the signal was also on and everything done in just 2 minutes (Enough to cook Maggie, though I entirely disagree with that claim!!).
I always despise bus drivers for the way they drive on our roads. They show little patience and little respect to fellow motorists. They always think that they are the kings on the road and no one can shake them off.
But this incident was a very pleasant one to me. Though it didn’t alter my belief about bus drivers, it was certainly an eye opener. There are after all few bus drivers who are considerate for fellow drivers on the road.
