Multitasking at its best

Hello Bangalore...... This city has many Names, right from being a Garden city to Silicon Valley of India to IT hub.It is also which is a bith place of e-commerce companies (or start ups as they are commonly called). There are many name and fame associated with Bangalore. But there is one thin that People of Rest of India might not be aware about Bangalore and its people. NO, I am not talking about the great traffic Congestion of this great city. I am talking about the Multi Tasking ability of People of Bangalore...Yes you all heard it reight. People of Bangalore are multitasking. Bangaloreans can drive and simultaneously talk on the phone. Wheather it is a 18 year young person or 68 year oldies...they all can take call while they are driving. There are all sorts of Driver from 2 wheelers to Bus driver, from car driver to Truck drivers, from Auto drivers to taxi drivers all of them can drive. I feel like a fool in front of these people (as I always park my vehcile on the side to take a call while driving). I think I am not multitasking which is a very unique trait and every employer seeks this quality while hiring anyone. this mmeans my chances of Getting hired is diminished. OMG...what should I do...Should I also try to talk on phone while driving or there are some other ways by which I can develop this trait. Two wheelers drivers carry an extra weight in their hand while driving. They carry Helmet in their hand. Dont understand the logic. If i dont want to wear it why to buy it and why to carry it. OK..i got it...They will wear it when they see a "Hawaldar" standing ar junction or when they go on highway. There might be two reason for it, one the "Hawaldar" will hit them on head with their lathis so they want to protect their head against hawaldar's lathi, and second is that they are damm sure that their heads will get injured win only thoes accidents that happen on Highways and not on any aother roads....hmmmm...interesting. It is same like carrying a condom and not using it. Data shows that number of people dying in Road accident per year in India is more that Soldiers or policeman dying at the hands of extremist. But we know that these are high risk jobs and probability of injury is more. But why are we risking the lives of ourselves and others on Road. It is our responsibility to ensure that our road remain safe for us and for others. But how can we make other people understand this (mostly the people who are talking on phone while driving) and make them more responsible. Any Suggestions..!!!
