Welcome to my town-Vinukonda!!



If you were to expect some pattern looking at the traffic in a town like 'Vinukonda' , I promise you, you would go mad. The truth is that there is no traffic pattern as such. Everybody drives as they like. I wonder what could be the reason behind it!!? Before we dig deep into it, one needs to ask why people should ever need a 'system' for anything or any purpose. What is promised in the absence of a proper system is 'chaos'. But wait a minute, why should people need rules?? Having heard what Protagonists of Post Modern Movement say that man is matured enough to control himself, I'm confused to see why he needs a rule to be controlled?
In the West, to appears as though all is neat and quiet. Everybody seem to follow the law with keener interest which is very much commendable as opposed to the system in India. However I am bewildered to see how people can be outrageously hypocritical when it comes to their person lives. They say they are born for freedom and ready to die for it; no interference is tolerated. Here rules are marginalised and rationalised. Objectively they follow rules but subjectively they do not like rules. Isn't there an apparent antithesis clearly visible? People are chaotic anywhere in the world. They are unable to control themselves. They need a guide to guide them.
It was Vinod dham, the designer of Pentium Chip once said in an interview that " it was the traffic pattern in India makes people even more competitive as every driver tries to create a space when there isn't much available." May be that is true to an extent. The point is we all need rules; whether they are subjective or objective. And remember, it is the source which ultimately matters. What source do you have to guide you? And what set of rules do you follow? Make the Word of God as your map and let God guide you to see through the unknown future.
