The Nightmare

It was nothing less than a nightmare, for full 4.5 hours, I was like sitting on the edge of shaking hill (could get other apt analogy).
It was a game of who is more lucky and somehow fortunately we came out of it, winner, no no...alive.
A drive from Burhanpur to Dewas, own car, hired driver.
The entire stretch is full of 'Blind' and 'Hair Pin' curves, plus lots of rain, plus innumerable cattle on the road plus the rowdy driver.
Every overtake that the driver did had over lives at stake, no matter what you tell him, couple of minutes gone and he is the same guy again. And it not him only that I am mentioning here, its the entire breed of the drivers on road, that very much includes guys like you and me, who are not the professionals.
There is this unknown hurry to reach somewhere in everyone's mind, I fail to understand what cud be more important than one's own life and the guilt that one would have if there is some mishap (exclude emergency service vehicles here).
There is no respect for the fellow users of the way, its like 'what did you drive on highway/state way if you did not honk for at least a zillion times', goodness.
Just paying road tax does not mean that one owns the road and others who was driving/riding on vehicles of lesser value does not have life.
Once while overtaking my driver got us almost killed, we barely survived. But the point is that after doing that the driver is still tried to make a point that he was right and the person who was coming from other side (i.e. on the correct side) was wrong, as the driver gave him signal and then also the other guy did not stop. For heaven's sake, these people need some special consulting (I am intentionally not using the word training here), I somehow feel they are far beyond normal repairable limits, they have gone far far away from the plastic limit of behaviour/learning curve. And just for the sake of completeness, the other guy was equally arrogant and adamant, he also did not even try to slow down when he saw that someone else is behaving erratically. So its the entire sample space that is sick.

I really felt helpless in that scenario, and after coming back, still thinking on what could be the my contribution which will make the difference, or rather which will at least initiate the change in the right direction...still clueless :-(..

(I have just scribbles my thoughts, couldn't wait to arrange them in proper manner).
