It was around 6.30PM yesterday and i was near the Chandni Chowk.. the road which connects to the paud road. There are 3 different roads intersecting at that point and thats why there was a big traffic jam...and then there was this guy riding in the Honda City...who kept on honking...as he could see there was a traffic jam..and there was hardly anything...anybody could do?? The best and rational thing to do was...to stand there..and not push your car into the traffic jam..or at least...try and be sensible...and not honk??
I got too much irritated and knocked on his window...he pulled his window shield down..and looked at me with a strange face....I asked him..."Sir do u have any medical emergency??"
"What?? are you crazy?? What makes you think so?" he asked me... I said..."No..neither i am crazy nor does it look like you have any medical emergency...considering this thing...I cant understand why would you like to act so stupid and keep honking when you can see..that there is a traffic jam and there is hardly any chance for anybody to move??" With those things that I said...guess he realized something and said... "I guess you are a very rude guy...who likes to call people stupid on their face..but you know what...you just made me realize...that my honking was probably irritating lots of other people..and i am going to stop that..."
I smiled and said..."Thank you".
I guess I did make a difference...and made that person realize that honking was not the solution and it was irritating everybody a lot...and he stopped...that was the happiest moment of the day for me...I guess..I did something different....and something positive came out of that...what a great day for me...and one small effort from my side towards reducing the noise pollution..... :)

I liked idea of this question - "Do you have any medial emergency". I will use this technique now onwards. I really feel irritated when people honk when signal is red.
