Enemy at the gates !!!

Nope.. I am not going to talk about the film (good one ofcourse!!) nor give a review comments (its pretty old for that!!).. what I am going to tell you is the real incedent happened yesterday...

Before coming to the incident, a introduction about the place of incident... the (in)famous "Bannergatta road"...
anyone who have visited or still in bangalore would have known this famous road, the place where every major IT and other MNC companies have constructed their largest buildings... a place where plush apartments like "mantri" apartments etc have 2 sites.. where there is National park.. Meenakshi temple etc.. but yet no roads for 75% of the stretch... 2 flyover in construction for a long long time...and as one of the news paper naptly titled it "If you want to experience HELL, try driving in Bannergatta road".

So..All was same yesterday... the evening hectic traffic, people punching horn constantly, trying every nook and corner to slid their vehicles and gaining few inches... and it happened.. a small bump of a Accenture cab while coming out from the company with another cab... that was it.. heated argument began.. turned into violent quarell.

It so happened (fortunately or unfortunately) the other person in that car, seemed to be a big shot or in Indian terms we fondly call them "DADA"... the scene became violent like you can see in the climax of Indian Movies, around 250 strong, half and full boozed crowd, gathered at the front of the office gates and violently screaming and shouting... reportedly smashed 3 cabs and so the security personnel closed all the gates and stopped any vehicle from entering or leaving.

All of accenture staff were virtually held hostage inside the campus... until the police came and got the situation under control after 11 PM... still today police van with around 20 personnel are outside the campus, citing security reasons.

Hey People.. I wonder... why this MADNESS? I don't know how to tell, but if I told you that this violet and mad situation would have been averted by a single word or a small gesture... you would be surprised right? yes that's true.. we often forget the two most powerful words in the universe!! magical? yes.. they are "thank you" and "Sorry". I tell you.. don't even miss a single opportunity to tell these words, ever.

With my experience, I have just bumped my vehicle (not a very big accedent and all..but hey!!! everyone in Indian roads must have done that one or two times atleast... ) a couple of times... and in my view a accident is not supposedly one persons fault.. technically speaking.. you have your judgment and the other has his judgment.. and your collective judgment goes wrong...or what I am trying to say is at 90% of the time accidents happen because of both the persons... so in that time telling first sorry will calm down..and will make atleast a reasonable environment to at least access the situation and to make constuctive arguments... or even your ego does not allow you to say sorry.. You can just gesture like a "stop"?? have you seen the way athletes in football match gesture when the opponent fall down because of them, at that instant?? (they may gesture differently after they have given red card!!!.. I am not going to comment on that...) that is universal.. you can try it.. certainly it will avert any harsh verbal comments. and another advice.. have the policy of "others first" instead of "me first" in the roads.. like if some guy constantly sounding horn and try dangerously to overtake or racing you in the crossroads.. please slow down and make way so that B@#@#@#@ may go.. engaging him is not worth risking your life...

ok guys.. hope I have not BORED you so much...(much relative to my previous post..) just a "thought" I thought worth sharing... "please keep the road peaceful".

and guys if you were wondering, why I have given this post the title.. that means you haven't read the 4th para properly...
