I am sane driver just like any good BIS marked product I perform very well but there is always a optimum condition for operation of equipment. My brain is like that very sane under bearable condition, can handle most situation beyond the operable limit but then there is a fuse.
I learnt in US that keep safe driving distance between you and vehicle ahead. In India I learnt you must drive bumper to bumper, keeping safe distance means giving way to a zig zagging moron whom you definetly dont want ahead of you. So that's what I do choose a vehicle I want to follow and simply tail gate at distance enough to ensure that some ass does not squish in. Basically I choose the vehicle I would not want to mind crashing into. :)
Fine morning,
Scene 1. I am cruising at speed of 45Km/h
Scene 2. I am cursing at speed of 70 Km/h, because a lady decided to overtake me on a bend and almost crashed into my front left fender . I would not have cursed if she would have bend over and would have her way anyway ( Pun intended)
Scene 3. Zoomed in front of her and slowed to snail pace. I really want a 50 Inch Plasma TV on my car's rear which can tell people how I feel. This time It would be "Mind it when negotiating a Bend"
Why I love delhi " Men will invoke each other mother and Sisters in normal conversation without battling an eye lid" but they will take it to heart if you invoke their mom and sis when telling them that it was their fault in accident. the whole conversation changes to why was mother and sister Chalisa was sung, and is a good method to change course of any altercation. So fellas, just wait till your Opponent ( Raging Delhi male starts it, will not take long ). Double standard Delhi walle

Yeh Desh hai Ameero ka
क्या हुआ कि अगर पैदल पर पथ नही बनाया सरकार ने ?
क्या हुआ कि अगर दिल्ली सरकार ने अनिवार्य किया कर ऑनलाइन फ़ाइल करना ?
क्या हुआ कि आजादी के पचास साल बाद भी कबूतर खाने दे रही है सरकार गरीबो को ?
क्या हुआ कि दिल्ली मी साइकिल पथ नही है ? जो थे वोह लुप्त हो रहे हैं
This is how we work, this is where our heirarchial, feudal values are coming to play this is where we need COMMUNISM ( I guesss ha ha ) to drive sense। We respect money, power " वोह क्या बोलते हैं , कुर्सी को सलाम" this is what is going on, and is essence of India.
I think for me its working out well, I can finally drive my car at speeds above 100Km/h on Gurgaon expressway. I can always blame the damn pedestrian if he crosses over, and this time I can actually say " सड़क क्या तेरे बाप की है , मैंने टोल कर् दिया है , और तुने ? " बेचारे ने तो सिर्फ अपनी जान दी है.
There is a legend (myth) that bones of workers who died while building Great were used as construction material, and other part of body were buried under the wall. (If you see pictures of great wall there is white filling in between bricks/stones - this white color is attributed to calcium in bones of workers ). Well if that is true then our great Gurgaon expressway also consumed a few of indians, it should be declared national monument on that account. Iam sure some body must have done calculations on cost of building overbridge + their maintenence, being higher than number of lives that will be lost ( जान की क्या कीमत ), you may ask why expressway was built well their is lot of money to be made both before and after construction.
So back to I am happy because Gurgaon expressway is good for me. One more thing I came to know that some Uber enthusiastic Government official made it compulsary to file returns online only, I am talking about VAT returns. Again good for me I can do it online and then my punter can go and submit a print out of that to department with stamp of establishment, which I fail to understand till I reached Sales tax office. The GOV of India clearly does not respect your privacy there was this list complete with dealer name, their passwords, and login ID lying there for everyone. Well not bothered again I can file online in India Finally !
Come 26th January, cows (roadblocks) are in new avtaar i.e police barriers to identify terrorists in millions of cars passing by. Well again I am not bothered not because I am not terrorist but police has stereotyped their target and I neither fit in and neither do I drive a vehicle that they fancy. Basically, I am neither driving a battered cab nor I am on a bike or scooter. I wonder what these road blocks achieve, I say so because I haven't seen a action on any of these barriers :) . I would certainly become a believer if I see a shoot out or guy in front of me is member of esteemed terrorist organization. With due respect to our police force which is as common as R.K Laxman common man ,i am ok with road barriers.
I am happy as long as I am financially sound in this country of ours where there are many friends of rich and powerful। तू जानता नही मैं कौन हूँ। is how we start arguing or क्या बिगाड़ लेगा तू मेरा , देख लूंगा। All the world systems are vague and no where close to our indeginious system of belief. Take for example communism - "social equality" when politician say that, its akin to a lover saying " जान तुम कही तो मैं तुम्हारे लिए चंद तारे तोड़ ला ओऊँगा" . American Democracy - every man has a right to choose the commandor of all righteous wars. Above all these is Indian Democracy, where only thing paramount is who rules the Jungle. '" शेर या बब्बर शेर ", कोई भी हो वोह तुम्हे तो खायेगा ही, खुद चुन लो क्योंकि जिंदगी तुम्हारी है। और जहाँ शेर नही रहते या लुप्त हो गए हैं उधर गीदड़ या भेड़ीया में से kisi ko chun lo ( choose between tiger or lion because you will be hunted, if Lions and Tiger are extinct you must choose between wolves and hyenas) .
I must graduate to either Lion or Tiger of society or if that is far fetched I must become hyena, as the lions of mother land believe in " थोडा खाओ थोडा फेंको , और जब वोह फेंकते हैं तो भेड़ीया भूका नही रहता " ha ha ha

Liking/ Addiction and Weaning/Waning
So then,
There are things that are liking and then there are things that are addiction. Some likings become addictions. such as , drinking, sleeping, procrastination etc. Addictions are marked with obsession, finding reasons to practice, and many other traits that behavioural scientists have researched and documented. I am just theorising on my opinion on getting rid of addiction, and am more concerned about those addiction which are not visible they manifest deep in human mind, and based on individual add dimension to personality. Though more concerned about manifestation of minds but will use examples of visual addiction
My contest is how to get rid of these myriad afflictions of mind. People have one thing to say "ABSTAIN" and i am not a believer of that. Also, I laugh at people who say that they hate not just addictions ( I am talking visible addictions, not what goes on in People mind) but also the afflicted person. I have seen with my own eyes people who hate these so called bad things but eventually took them up in some form or another and were equally worse in giving their special reason for addiction.
Well to cut short this "ABSTAIN" formulae might work when you are addicted to alcohol, or drugs but that never guarantees permanence. My theory based out of my assimilated beliefs and my understanding of operation of human mind is that try weaning or waning.
Give alternate to wean away mind from addiction. That is to encourage moderation and reduce extremism. Pundits of abstinence will ridicule this as moderation is still manifestation and suggest that let there be no desire. Well my response, yes ideally human should be free of desire and should be in total control of senses, but then that is not a majority. Moreover achieving moderation is step 1 .
Other theory is to push the person to T so that he knocks the T from WANTING and goes on path of WANING . What i mean is? let the person go and cherish the addiction as much as person wants to as long as it harms him and not any other individual. When I say other individuals don't factor emotional and selfish reasons. i.e wife of a person who thinks that husband's excessive drinking will ruin her married life. I say let the guy go ahead and drink like fish, let him damage his liver and spend nights drunk on roads with dogs. Let the person enjoy himself in his addictions but make a point to tell them that this is what was available as alternate that would have altered the situation. Let the addict make that decision whether they want alternate or not, if they don't want alternate you cant do much other than coming up with some other alternate scenarios or repeating the same all over again. Waning is very tedious and dangerous, you are pushing a person to enjoy his addiction to hilt and hoping that he will get bored of it.
Most probably addict do demonstrate pendulum like behaviour from addiction to abstinence, If that happens you are in luck. Half the battle is won. Now shoot for equilibrium to begin with and keep shifting equilibrium position over time.
I respect people who don't have any addictions or those who have tread on path of abstinence. But then I am also cautious of extreme behaviour of any sort because opposites do exist, and I am wary of the both. I am equally scared of puritans as I am scared of addicts, both stick vehemently to their ways one is prescribed (moral) and other one is abhorred (immoral). Hitler and Gandhi are both victims of extremism of their cause. In real world moderation works.
As one great soul once said abstinence from evil will be better enforced once evil is understood. our society does not do a task of making evil understood but enforces Avoidance. Avoidance has made our Hindu society a paralytic genius who can churn and crunch information but in body that has no strength or vitality and hence inept of glory. Also, Evil as described is not usually evil till until it manifests itself as addiction
As I write this I want to draw on my own afflictions of mind, body and soul, and manifestations in our society such as mumbai glory on 31st December, 2007, or Aussies leveling greatness, or our fanatics, Gandhian and puritans
I have another debate afflictions of mind vs body and superiority of mind vs body. well that is for later or for never.
