I Love Truth

In 1978 I purchased my first motor cycle - a Rajdoot Motor Byke.
From day number one I used to ride the vehicle only with a helmet on.
It is even before the enactment of an act making it compulsory to wear a helmet.
I did it voluntarily and enjoyed it.
Especially in a dirty city like Chennai - for that matter all the cities and towns in India are dirty and full of dust and pollution now a days - all are alike in their unhygienic conditions.
It is party due to our being in a tropical region and the major contribution is made by our rulers let it be our politicians or our administrative staff in the Government they are all equally responsible in keeping our country in such a sad state of ours.
I blame all administrators also equally along with the politicians because they are more responsible to the citizens of India as educated and employed lot when compared to the politicians.
But of late after growing old I find wearing a helmet a nuisance and health hazard.
I have head aches when I travel with a helmet on and also develop spinal and neck pain after wearing the helmet for a long time.
It is because of the so called roads which are only jungle paths fit to be used only by wild elephants.
No sane person will call it a road at all.
Even the so called four lanes toll roads also have occasional damages remaining unattended here and there.
This means that we Indians are very tolerant and do not know the real meaning of a road.
In foreign countries they have really good proper roads and the helmets made there are light weight and save the lives of the person wearing it.
If the Government really wants to save the lives of two wheeler it should first lay proper roads and provide better lights on the roads.
Without providing and taking care of this basic amenity if the Government says that it is sincerely interested in the welfare of the two wheelers then it is the biggest joke that one could have heard in his life time.
Laying proper roads and providing at reasonable rates light weight helmets will help save two wheelers.
I challenge those who are in power the law makers and the executives who arrange for the implementation of such stupid laws and the judges who insist that such laws should be meticulously implemented to come, wear a heavy helmet and travel at least as a pillion in a two wheeler in the hot summer in a city like Chennai for just two hours in the noon for a few days.
Truth will always prevail - the history of the world is full of such instances - and these jokers will one day feel sorry for their jokes - and then it will be too late.
May the Almighty save these human beings.
My favorite quote is -
The whole world itself is a small insect before God and who are all these petty people before God.
His Will Will be Done.
