I believe in parallel universe: Multiple versions of us are
living in alternate worlds that interact with each other. Nah! I am not going
to bore you with quantum theories to explain "multiverse". Rather, it’s
quite simple for us to perceive.
One world exist in our home, offices, parks or movie
theaters while other one could be viewed in its full glory on our roads. Once
behind the wheels of those moving metals, each actor has a different character
ever ready to clank at the slightest opportunity.
I once encountered a driver, who started his argument by accepting
he was an idiot while questioning if I did enough to prove my genius. He must
have been a lawyer of the Road world
and the realization dawned on me that in this parallel world all professions
exists.
The Professor: When
they happen to observe someone break the law, they make every effort to let the
errant know that it was wrong. Given an opportunity they give a lecture on it.
Makeup Artists:
They consider cars as moving parlors with drivers’ seat their dressing couch. It’s
brings in lot of convenience with many mirrors allowing them put everything
from foundation or lipstick to nail paint. Usually they don’t mind a honk or
two to remind them that the traffic lights have gone green.
Late Risers: To
complement those who could not manage makeups before leaving are the ones who missed
breakfast. They are expert in completing a full course breakfast with sandwich,
coffee et al and all without losing control of the steering wheel.
The Correspondent:
Always interested in what happened along the road, slowing down to stick the
neck out of the windows if there is an accident or there is a gathering of any
sorts More often than not they will try to put their camera on duty.
Peeping Toms:
These Toms spares no effort to find out what’s going on inside the car next
door.
The learner: Someone
who will frustrate everyone with their cautious driving and worst part of their
behavior is they slow down even if the traffic light is green.
The Manipulator: They
are expert in manipulating the situation and finding a way to arrive at the
frontend of long queues most of the time exploiting the kindness of others or flouting
the rules.
Multitasker: One
mother of Multitasker was a colleague of mine who could put all his limbs into
action. A cigarette in one hand, a mobile on the other while one foot took
charge of the steering wheel while the other worked on accelerator and brake. Beating
all odds, he is still alive and kicking!
