We were taking lunch at a Dhaba near the railway station at Barog. And this tractor that invited everyone to honk was parked nearby! And yet I get annoyed when people honk at me. I mean half of us (OK maybe much less than half) somehow believe that honking is bad manners but the other half (OK maybe much more than half) believes in the message on the tractor!
Do Honk whenever necessary but please use dipper in the night. Otherwise you might end up destroying sleep of many.
It's a different language in India! I like the colors and composition in this picture.
Honking is such an integral part of driving! It annoys me a lot. 🙂
I agree with you Mridula, but when ever I am in India, I expect it just like I expect turn signals here in US!
I wish honking horns should be developed as such that a person can honk maximum 10 times within 24hours and then the system wont work till next 24 hours starts.I have seen many motocycle riders honking and driving when most of the road is empty. May be they love to.
Hey MridulaNice succinct postI rarely blow horn during my travel from home to office and vice-versa. It causes noise pollution……but this Dhabas way of inviting customers is really good.Healthiest Regards
Honking doesn't happen in countries like UAE, Where they think that if you honk at anyone, you do not know driving..Amarjit Singh Kullarwww.amarjitsinghkullar.us
Thank you Tarun I will keep that in mind :DI agree Bindu 😀 And yet I resist.My sentiments exactly Priyank (Final Transit)Right Sujata but I live here and not just visit :DI know what you say Hobo, people honking on empty roads.Hey no Movies in Delhi, the Dhaba had nothing to do with this tractor, it was just parked there.Amarjit thanks for sharing your thoughts from UAE but then how come baseball?
like with many other things, indians have their own rules and way of doing things… much as you try not to blow a horn, the other chap refuses to pay attention till you create a ruckus!!! way of life here, i suppose..
Right Anu and sometimes even I have to resort to honking because there is no other way. But not as a rule or not on empty roads 😀
I am one of those rare creatures who, the day they land in India, start driving on crowded and chaotic roads of Lucknow. And, I hardly (never) use horn – this surprises my friends and family members; and proves that one can drive without honking in India. It seems we just love noise and litter in India 🙁
Good to hear that you can negotiate the chaos with minimal honking!
