What kind of people fly these days?

I was traveling to Visakhapatnam, on my favorite Air Deccan. Its implicit that once you have thought of flying to Visakhapatnam, to find 50% of the passengers to be just rich and nothing else. The least courteous people, to add.

This time one step ahead of my observations, the individual infront of me bought a sandwich. Now as you know everyone needs their place to be clean, least bothered about others. This guy after eating his sandwich drops his trash in a vacant seat. One should learn from him how to keep their place clean. Don't you think?

These days it has become a mandate for the air hostess to stand in the middle of the flight, once it landed to control people who just get out of their seats, even when the seat belt sign is on. The lady begs while announcing "Please do not stand" several times and people still are reluctant to hold on for few more minutes.

Does P stand for Politeness for POLICE?

I was driving to my office on Friday. A police gypsy numbered KA01 G 2909 just over took me from the left. First time he waved and I gave way. Then rather than continuing in the main lane (the four wheeler lane) the driver rashly pushed into the side lane. As usual he couldn't make it. I was already half way through and suddenly he just waves his hand and squeezed his car rather barged into my space and when I honk I get an arrogant look from the driver and I missed the collision by a hairline.

These people who just survive on tax payers like us return this courtesy back to us.

On the same day to claim insurance for my car, which got scratched by kids on street, I had to get an FIR. I just paid Rs. 4000 as bribe without which the Sub Inspector said he will not process.

This is the fate of my country.

Is someone listening?

SBI - ATM @ MVP, Visakhapatnam

The pictures speak everything. However I would like to give you the point of thoughts.
  1. The courtesy of the citizens
  2. The care of the bank

Were these ever implemented?


There you see the list of penalties one need to pay for every different kind of a traffic violation. There is no one to collect these and no one to pay. Its not because we are in utopia, but because no police is ready to take the extra step in levying them on the defaulters.

God help this nation.
