Early morning (around 7:45 AM), Silk Board Junction. A man in a new Hyundai Accent – well dressed, probably well educated, is driving his new car. All windows rolled up, and reading the newspaper while driving – both when the car is in motion, and at traffic signals.
This goes on for 5-10 minutes (around 2 kms). Evidently done with the news (it was more like one of those supplements with more pics than content), he moves to his cell phone. Again, while driving. Fumbles it a few times, so that his attention is diverted from the road ahead, onto the floor of the car.
And such people will come to office, and make a hue and cry about the traffic in bangalore, how cab drivers and office shuttles need to drive carefully, and how Bangalore traffic is going to the pits.
