Carflood- no relief for roads

Son:


Papa papa, I want to write more on the paper.


Papa


But son, if you do that the writing will overlap. You should understand that for the writing to be visible properly, you need to have only as much writing as would fit in the paper.


Son


But papa, why is is then that our roads(paper) have limited capacity but still more and more cars(pen) are seen on the road?


Papa


Well son, you need to ask the aspiring high-earning brains of our society and the credit card companies and banks.


Son


Why papa?


Papa


Because these make the car companies increase their production without understanding that the supporting infrastructure is thrown totally out of gear


Son


Is that precisely the reason why chief ministers and chief guests report late at every event?


Papa


Yes son


Son


If we know the solution why is it not implemented?


Papa


Son, humans have a tendency to show off and build an image. Whatever they do within the realm of common sense and possibility is fine.


Son


Should the government not play a role in having a limit on the production of cars?


Papa


Yes, but then there will be funny people coming with funnier arguments that no one can decide who should produce what of how much quantity. They will argue that if there is a demand, they will produce more cars


Son


Papa, then these auto companies should be involved in road infrastructure and should dedicate a part of their earnings to such capital investments


Papa


Son, they will blame it on the Govt. They will say - government is not doing its job of providing infrastructure


Son


Is there no traffic analysis done? What are the statisticians doing?


Papa


They are busy working on the demand of cars and how to fulfil them by introducing new launches every few months


Son


Isn’t this funny?


Papa


Son, life is full of funny people. They make others go through troubles while they show off their wealth


Son


I have also seen many CEOs and managers going in cars to their office while it is better and less time consuming for them to travel through public transport


Papa


Son, as I said humans want to show off their status.


Son


What to do then?


Papa


Understand life, speak the truth, don’t fear criticism, transfer the clarity of your mind to lot many others and finally


Son


And finally?


Papa


Hope that sanity will prevail over show business


And that roads will be provided some relief from the car flood


Before introducing 1 lac Re cars let’s broaden the roads a bit or roads will be drowned with cars of every Tom, Dick and Harry!
