HONKING? NOT OKAY, PLEASE!

We have attuned our ears to the sounds of incessant vehicular honking and have over the years grown so accustomed to noise pollution at large that we have ceased to care about the damaging health implications it poses for us in the long run. 

Even though by law, unwanted honking is restricted under Motor vehicle Act 1989 US134(1) yet our honking habits have remain unchanged! In fact, Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road Transport and Highways recently proposed that a new law would soon be passed where in the sounds of Indian musical instruments like flute, tabla, violin, harmonium etc. would replace the sounds of existing vehicle horns in a bid to curtail noise pollution. 'Sounds' like a good idea indeed!

Have you ever wondered why most people like to stay up late to complete a piece of work or indulge in some leisure time activities? Why is night time the best part of the day? The answer to that is simple and quite obvious too.You too know the answer to it and would concur when I say that it is in the solitude and stillness of the night your creative juices are overflowing with ideas so much so that you are inspired to pen a poetry, jot down a plot for a new story, work on your office presentation or annual report,listen to your favorite music or perhaps even dance away like no one's watching? Can you relate to some of the things that I just said above? At least that's the case with me as I write this blog post on the futuristic technology embedded in Bose QC35 wireless headphones and it's perks while simultaneously listening to my favorite music on my Mp3 player.

Now let's rewind back to the day to see how it all plays up and figure out why night ends up becoming the climax of all activities when you accomplish more than what you had bargained for!
