I Played a traffic cop!!!

I moved out of office this wednesday at around 9.30(after my ususal round of snooker).Luckily I found and boarded a HAL bus which was returning empty via domlur.We were moving slowly and we had to stop at a signal(for bangalore conversant ppl its BTM Advaitha Petrol bunk signal).The time was only 10 PM and somehow the signal lights were blinking yellow(It means its the drivers discretion).
You should have seen the place to beleive me when i say the place was really really chaotic.U could see vehicles going in all possible directions and standing in all possible angles.It was total chaos.
Horns were blaring...
Drivers cursing..
Some Senior citizens holding tight to the steering wheel(dazed ofcourse)..
Vehicles millimeter apart..
Two wheelers nearly moving in slow motion under the Heavy vehicles..

Basically it was so so so unorganised and chaotic..

So I waited patiently hoping the choas would sort itself out.But nothing movcd an inch(not even a mm) for 10 min.. No police also.. People were so mean and self centered.Although they saw that the situation was so bleak and they just could not move,ppl just kept pushing.. inch by inch...corner by corner.. where can ppl go.. Finally I decided something needs to be done..
So i stepped out of the cozy comforts of the bus and stood there in the middle of the road and painstakingly started the task of clearing the traffic.People were so rude selfish and nearly abusive in response to any suggestions to back off to clear traffic.(Ofcourse i was there for the selfish reason of going home soon only.. but i guess thats not too selfish ;-))..I got a comrade in the form of a BMTC conductor.He had a whistle too ..Which gave a semblance of officialness to our efforts..
Slowly but surely we got the traffic going.We first diverted incoming traffic to the junction thro some byroads.Then asked a few stategically ill manouvered vehicles to back off.. No one budged till all ppl around started shouting.. Then finally got into my bus which was the first to leave the jam behind..God only knows how the rest of the traffic cleared.Then talked to the HAL bus driver in hindi tamil and english abt the jam and irresponsible people.From his reaction i could guess he knew only kannada.But human emotions were exchanged.Our minds spoke.So no language was required(Seems very romantic right ;-))..We chatted on till domlur abt lots of public issues like road,traffic,water,pollution,deforestation etc.. That too with no common language or translator between us.But this feat was easier than clearing the traffic..:-)
