Ever noticed on
your way to college or office any guy with his earphones on and crossing the
road? He is totally into the music and crash! a car was just about to hit him.
He runs away after hearing a mouthful from the car driver. There are people who
listen to music in full volume and bump into things and even other people. And there are people who talk so loudly over
their earphones and mouthpiece that the people around them can easily guess
what the person on the other end might be saying.
People like
these on the road are found to be engrossed in their own worlds and do not
realize about what’s happening around them. Sometimes, it may be their
favourite song on the radio and they can’t afford to miss that. And even when
what they do seems funny, it can be life-threatening too. So many people were killed
this year due to ‘iPod oblivion’ ( walking with earphones on) and it was all
over the news.
People would
cross the railway tracks with their earphones on and the train would hit them
right away. Craziness may be the right word for describing such an act and
should the youth be taught against this? Should they be told the dos and don’ts
while walking on the road? It’s time we realize our own value and take little
care of ourselves. A bit of wisdom with understanding can help us avoid such
problems and make us happy pedestrians.
