I think one of the most anywhere in the world. We dont give a shit about anybody other than ourselves and immediate family. Others are to be used and if not to be walked over. What bull.. who cares about your sensitive ears, when my sole aim is to reach there before you. You might as well cut them yourself before somebody chews them off.

He drove fast and honked hard. We didnt seem to be getting there any quicker, and I kept couldn't help feeling funny about the entire situation, us sitting in a tiny car behind a large truck and a thousand cars ahead of that truck, and my macho friend repeatedly pumping the horn and his mouth, expressing anger, frustration, all the indian macho-ness one imbibes while growing up. The coversation veered towards the art of driving and how I challenge myself by trying not to use the dreaded horn unless absolutely necessary, he scoffed of course, what matters is speed, nothing else. I kept quite. Next day, I drove us back, and I didn't honk once, I hope he noticed, though i'm sure he didn't. After all, time was on his mind.

I guess we are the most masochistic of all peoples.. also something as trivial (though not exactly) as honking reveals something deeply disturbing about the Indian character.. Need some serious introspection but I've begun to believe that we are incapable of something like that.. not individuals but the nation as a whole..
