Lack of Mannerism: A Case of Delhi

Well being born and bought up in Delhi has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. However the city still continues to bemuse me, even after having my upbringing here. I find it rather strange that an average Delhites still lacks basic sense of mannerism.

Let me take up an incident this morning as I left home for office this morning, since I was not feeling to walk I decided to take a rickshaw instead to the metro station. However at the crossing the Red lights were not working and there was complete chaos, and adding to this an RTV driver was in a such hurry that it seems that he had already decided to give all the road rules a sweet goodbye and instead kept honking his horn eventhough a bus was crossing the road on the other side. Heaven knows what was in the mind of that dickhead, does he want us to play superman or he was simply wants to settle some old score with the DTC bus which was crossing. That thing I may never find out, but that moron kept honking until he reached metro station much ahead of his peers; unconcerned about the lives of the people in the road and his own passengers. He might have won the Delhi Grand Prix but still has a lot to learn about how to win.

This was the case with rather poor and possibly uneducated class. But the case is same with the persons with a decent degree of education and grooming. Even after having that background it seems like these people aren't cultivated enough to behave in the movie theatre. Every time before a movie starts a small advert and a message is flashed acrossed the screen asking people to switch off the mobile phone. In this case one can atleast keep the phone in silent mode, and if the need be arise the leave to theatre lobby and then chat. But still that seems to be and onerous task, keeping mobile in the silent mode: whats the worth of buying a Rs. 20000 mobile; talking outside: sir, i dont talk to much or its emergency. Man, how cheapso you can get. Watching the movie, an intersting scene and suddenly a music, you try to locate- whether this music is the part of movie but to your dismay you find out that it was a ringtone. "Bloody hell", it will certainly your reaction, What a fucking day, in morning had a narrow escape of life and in the evening a narrow escape of peace of mind!".
