Scrolling you see, I see folks even typing and driving, that too on a flyover blocking the whole lane !! This has now gone beyond shocking now. One distracted driver on the highway is a loose cannon waiting to kill several and that’s the scary part

Re: Unsafe practices of modern car & bike owners

Then we have autorickshaw drivers watching movies on their phones with earphones....

I really feel that making internet access easy and cheap in India was somewhat of a mistake along with unlimited calling.

Security guards are on their phones all day, mason is cutting tiles with one hand while video calling with the other, his assistant is chilling on the side watching a movie on full blast instead of clearing up and the job that was promised to be completed in two months now takes four and the contractor wants more money.

If you point this out, you will be hit with either:

1) Nowadays you get workers who are like this only

Or

2) You rich people have no humanity, how can you expect them to do manual labour continuously for the full day. You should expect them to come an hour late, take a tea break, lunch break and afternoon nap, evening tea break and then wrap up by 5pm
