Driving Sense - Parking Sense in India

Why people do not have traffic sense in India? One of the most obvious reasons is population. The streets are overcrowded. The other is that we have never realized that we need a traffic sense. It is not an issue driving in a haphazard, zigzag manner. It becomes a problem when we do it at the expense of the other driver's peace of mind. Everyone, be it the person riding the two-wheeler or the person driving the auto or the four-wheeler, wants to be the first one reaching their respective destinations. So, we drive rashly without the slightest thought about the others on the road.



Driving with a care for others on the road will make the ride a peaceful & safe one for yourself and as well as others. We are not signal-abiding citizens but constable-abiding citizens. Even when the signal is RED, we see if the traffic constable is present. If not, we proceed to go ahead. We don?t even realize that we are breaking rules. The whole idea of a traffic signal is to prevent traffic. We are ready to break the law just because we hate to wait for a minute, sometimes even less. A one more reason for careless driver is our Indian law do not help accident victim and the victim has loose in most of cases not the driver.



All these drivers are in so much of a hurry to reach their destinations that they could not care less for safety of pedestrians and other drivers. Similarly, when we are driving towards the signal and we see it in YELLOW, we accelerate to cross the signal before it turns RED. This is sure to cause of many accidents. we ever seen speed limits on the road? There are speed limits for every road and there are signs indicating this somewhere on the side of the road. We need to make sure that we are aware of these things.


Though we have read this in our elementary classes, somewhere during our growing up years, we have forgotten it. Try to look for speed limits and try to follow them as much as possible. Speed thrill but kills . Try to cross the roads considering the drivers coming at high speed for your own safety and to avoid accidents. Try to follow the lane and think 10 times before crossing from one lane to another.
The same things happen with parking, it is so randomly parked in many of street and also the Street vendors and retail shop keeper covers the footpath and parking. Drivers of two wheeler and four wheeler do not bother to park their vehicle on the road. Corrupted police and corrupted traffic police both are also responsible for such terrible parking.

If you have car or planning buy one, don't forget to buy a parking in your Apartment and don't feel bad if somebody scratch your car on busy street.

City road digging nuisance

Digging up of roads is a duty for every authority both Government and non-government , the Sewerage Board, the water supply, Electricity Board, gas supply and of course the private companies. The digging process happens almost every month causing hassles to the public.

A nuisance to the public, we are losing out on space to walk. There is no use of complaining to any authority. Traffic have very bad situation during pick hour. Every month these authority has new digging job around in radius of 1 kms. of my home. Looks like they are in chaos in making roads and again within six months or so, they come back to break the road.

Some of dug outs done without permission and municipality or any other authority does not bother. Shops keeper and traders comes on pavement and digging people block the road and parking is already a big trouble. Walkers take defending themselves as they walk almost on the middle of the road. After the digging process is complete, the roads are just given a patchy touch-up with no good completion.

What kind of development is this with India. Every road constructed in the city is not used for atleast one year and the digging workers come on the road. We should have better planning , better management for the city.

LOOKING forward, a day will come with better management. They will give permission to construct building with all required utilities and connections. There will be better management and the leaders in the city to manage the city better.

Ahmedabad Street Dogs

Well, while the name of blog is 'Ahmedabad Street Dog' then why we should not start the blog for the street dog. On the streets, in the fields, on the side walks, under public stairwells every village, small town, or in cities of India find the dog. we came to know that these dog breed is "Pariah dog" also known as pye dog or feral dog and these are not pure pariah dog they come from some mixed (Pariah-type feral dogs ) breed. Not just dogs but you can find cow, bullock and sometimes goats also on city street.


These dogs survive on people's wasted food and the belief of hindu people that first bread (Roti) goes to cow or dog. Now a days some astrologer also advise for the better fortune one should feed dogs.


In many Indian cities municipality and animal organizations catch street dogs, spay/neuter and vaccinate them against rabies (putting a notch in one ear to signify that the dog has been sterilized) and then release the dogs back to their original neighbourhoods. Since dogs are territorial, they prevent new, unsterilised dogs from moving in.


Two wheelers are biggest transport vehicle for inside city all over India. The wandering dogs on roads creates lots of troubles for two wheeler drivers and the street dogs run behind them and make them scare. 80 % to 90% orthopaedic surgery are made due to dogs harassment while driving two wheeler.


On the roads two wheelers and cars hits the dogs and dogs are also get injured and these scene are pitiful on the street. There must be a way out, one has to stay on road either man or dog. These Pariah kind of dogs are here on this land before the Ahmadashah Badshah came and put the first stone of Ahmedabad city. Dogs have privilege to live. Not confusing matter more, there should be way out instead of injuring each other.



In western country, they will clean up the city if they have such a problem and they had did before couple of 100 years ago, so they don't have any animals or birds left in city and they will seek opportunity to abuse India on having animal on the street. India have many animals and birds in the city like cow, monkey, cat, pigeon, sparrow, kite, parrot, kabar,peacock, coo-coo and crow.
