The Fueled City

Let the distance be too lengthy like our dreams or handy short almost all of us are used to carry our fueled engines. It does not matter for us whether we are traveling to some far away destination or our near by corner we just want to ride on sticking our butt. This post is to spread some light on the motor driving habits of delhiites.

When I wake up in the morning with a partial fresh breath the calm breeze outdoors gives a awesome sensation, some thing unexplainable. But this is a short luxury I experience in the dawn. As my morning warm up ride begins on my bicycle I enjoy paddling my 18 gear bike (showoff) rolling the lonely streets. All stay calm, quite and fresh till six o'clock. And after that the horrible reality begins. The harsh horns start to kick the ears. The fresh oxygenated air was a past now the lungs feels like bursting. And my power geared ride back to home begins. On my way back to the home I see some senior citizens looping the starring slowly sitting on their two-wheelers pumping the black gases leaving a scary cloud appears like someone has spreaded evils make-up kit there. The popular dead gears DTC buses along with private ones too pumping out the smoke outside the CNG stations. The sound and the smoke there create a Kargil like situation(without blood). And all this continues for hours. Nothing new to us still m not used to it. Back to home now with partially carbonized lungs. I get ready to school again on my geared bike. As the journey begins. No more fresh air. No more clear view. With knocking horns and traffic. The ones who are plugged for a long ride or the ones who can jump thrice for their destination plugging in the keys, kick start the engines. No matter to their health, no matter to the time. The athletic and the big tummies both wanna motor ride. No questions they have replies. And an argument is not worthy to make. Now the scene becomes regular and scheduled. The same make-up kit is gathered around. The health conscious ones are with hankies on their nostrils trying to filter the polluted breathe. The others are habitual or their lungs feels no more difference in the breathes. This bad experience continues to the school gate and we have a bit comfortable environment there.

Its understood that we are adding new technologies in our lives. But why to carry our motored and smoke pumping vehicles all around? May be to travel faster or an comfortable alternative for the lazy weights. It won't cost you more then few milliliters of sweat and tone up your body to walk to your destination or ride a bicycle or use any other environmental friendly means. Care for the environment. Care for your peers. Care for yourself. We can't run to Mars if this Earth becomes..
