Smoke and Mirrors

I need to vent (coz my mum can’t take it no more..)

I just cannot comprehend how perfectly nice normal people turn into aggressive maniacs when behind the wheel. I am crazy enough to drive here in Colombo (I already had a little accident the first time I drove in Colombo - I forgot that blaring your horn at all times was a prerequisite for driving here) I have since then corrected myself and have unlearned/abandoned all driving rules for the “free for all” / “no right of way” / “anything goes” / “if you see a centimeter break in traffic, stick your vehicle into the gap” / “move as soon as the traffic light turns green to avoid being beeped till you are deaf” kinda driving..

Why is everyone is a mighty hurry in SriLanka ? Could it explain why everyone is late ? Well, if everyone is rushing around, do some of ‘em make it to their destinations on time ? If they do, who are these people and do they still count as Lankans ?

I sometimes just block vehicles driven by impatient people, and drive real slow, just to check out their reaction (I’m a little twisted like that)

Anyhoo, that is it.. I will retire for the day…

Peace.
