One for the road

After a long day of being thoroughly jobless, I started the long ride back home.
17 Kms = 1 hour = one way
After being away from Bangalore for a year, I had come back to find discernibly more terrible traffic on Bangalore’s roads. Surprisingly I wasn’t feeling my usual depression looking at the state of Bangalore traffic. I suppose I am beginning to accept it as a way of life. Anyways so I am riding, inching along, rather and there was this car in front of me with a sticker that said:

My wife gives me 100% sound advice
99% sound and 1% advice

It elicited a laugh from me and I thought that those were 2 minutes well spent.

This gave me an idea. Since more and more of our time is being spent on the road, why not start looking at newer ways of being entertained on the road?
Cars could sport stickers that have jokes printed on them.
You can have LCD screens on the rear of the car that is displaying information; News, views, TV, movies. You can play table tennis on car tops, you can learn up entire lyrics of a particular song.

Imagine, you could have cooking recipes behind cars. That way you can read up the recipe while on your way back from work, reach home and cook!
Have you heard of the floating markets in Bangkok?
We could have our very own Traffic markets in Bangalore. They are open topped vehicles selling fruit, veggies etc! And as the traffic situation worsens and we can literally walk faster than drive, you will even have time to pick and choose veggies from this vehicle next to you, ask him to cut out a slice for trial and haggle with him over the prices! You could have such markets selling groceries, clothes.
Just imagine! The possibilities are endless!!
