Today I lost my car Headlamp to yet another illiterate driver.
Driving has some rules, and norms to be followed. Not all places you can walk to , you can drive in. You may feel if I was on legs, I would have gone through the gap, but thats not necessarily be the case when you are on wheels !!
In India, we drive on the left side of the road. So we have some rules, which many of the drivers do not even care / know about. ..like:
1] Left turn has to be sharp and close whereas to take a right turn you should first cross half of the road and then take a right turn.
2] On a crossroad vehicle to your right has the first right to go.
3] When signal turns yellow, you should "Slow down" and make a perfect stop at the signal.
4] While driving a car, keep a distance from the car ahead, so that you always see its rear wheels.
5] Follow a single lane. If vehicle in front of you stops, you should stop. Turning sharply to enter different lane, is a "wrong" way to drive.
Speaking limited to my city, pune, I guess RTO should cancel the current licenses and make everyone go through a good scrutiny for their driving and then give out new licenses. This can be done as follows:
First cancel all licenses given 19 years back. that is in the year 1987. They will be given a 6 months time to give the test again and get a new license. Then after 6 months waiting period, cancel all licenses issued in year 1988 and so on and so forth.
This will take time but atleast after 10 years everyone in this city will be qualified drivers.
In the mean time, all agents should be banned.
We can also, have free lancer qualified "traffic supervisors". This will give employment opportunity as well as those who hate night shift BPO jobs but still want to earn money a great noble job.
These traffic supervisors, will observe lane cuts, signal cuts, triple seat drivers, drivers not obeying no entries and one way rules in even the deepest parts of the city.
These rules are not hard to understand, there is no catch and they all will be issued a camera to actually catch such drivers red handed.
All traffic supervisors will be treated as consultants with food,travel allowance.
Whatever it takes, drivers in Pune city must be taught discipline.

What women want !?!
Women want :
- Every gadget that they dont understand , if broken, should get fixed on its own .
- It should be a rule to keep both legs down on the ground while driving a two wheeler.
- Everyone should ,all the time, watch all the signals/signs women give while they are driving.
- Driving should be declared as an act of dancing.
- All the elected members of parliament, members of national teams etc. should come and visit them so that they would know their names, what they do, and whom they represent !!
- A purse which would recognise the object they desire to have and should pop it up like a toaster.
- A mobile phone, which will adjust its ringtone according to their mood, which will lavitate itself when they no longer wish to hold it, which would make a call by identifying their desire to speak to that person.
- The "Time" to pause itself when they are talking on the phone.
- Men to grow up and women to remain innocent like a child !!
- Pink, mauve, and colours like these to be officially named the principle colours.
- World Peace !!
