Continuing from where I left last on car number plates, now I am bringing the menace of noise population on NCR's roads to everyone's attention. At times I wonder if anyone ever noticed how much noise we generate when we are driving our cars, be the music is very loud when we try to become "DJ on road" or when the vehicle engine's is scream loud, at top, to draw driver's attention to have pity on it and spend some time and money on getting its much overdue service or when some people take joy in blowing horns unnecessarily!
Horns in Delhi's vehicles comes in verity. Some are musical, some are scary; at time so scary that you can even get a heart attack! Some are authoritative - blowing police/emergency siren when they have no relation with such emergency services by miles, but mostly are normal horns. I pity that people who falls under "mostly" category. They are the one who bears the brunt of people falling under category anything but normal.
Most drivers falling under the category "mostly" are very responsible, blow their horns judiciously and only when it is needed. The owner or driver of DL 8C H 4399 is an exception though. Yesterday at 9:28 AM, on my way to Gurgaon on old Delhi-Gurgaon road, near to Maruti Suzuki factory, this cherry red Maruti Esteem LXi caught my attention. I was difficult not noticing it as it was continuously blowing for no obvious reasons. Perhaps he was not happy with the audio quality of his in-car music system so decided to create his own music. I am sure he must have enjoyed it else there was no reason for such a behavior!
I sincerely hope people stop taking such pleasures and become responsible when it comes to blowing horns. The noise population level on NCR roads is already very high and we should avoid adding more to it.
