The One With The Helmet Always Wins

March 3rd, 2008

dropping my kids off at their preschool, i walked to my office that’s 10 min away this morning. along the walk on the intermediate ring road, i had the guilty pleasure of standing by and watching two folks fight.

one was a motorcyclist, clearly a software professional with tucked-in shirt, tie and polished shoes. other was the driver/chauffeur of a tata sumo. apparently the sumo rear-ended the motorcycle in the stop-and-go traffic.

the two parked their vehicles on the roadside to let others pass by, and unloaded their monday-morning-blues by some healthy no-touch insult-hurling in kannada. then it got to serious business of collar grabbing. punches were about to be thrown.

and then the driver of sumo realized that the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet.

no punches were thrown. good monday morning!

    They actually moved to one side of the road? Must be very cultured “fighters”.. usually they dont move their vehicles…

    yeah. the sumo driver led the way. i thought it was funny. the road is very heavily trafficked on a busy morning so they might have been shoved aside anyway :-)
