A news report says that a local politician from Nagpur is leading a “break rule agitation” – and the rule they want to break is the helmet law for motorcyclists.
Heck! Even I like the wind in my hair, but on our unsafe roads – especially unsafe for motorcyclists and scooterists – maybe voluntary helmet wearing is not a bad idea. If not for the driver, then at least for the pillion-rider, whose risks are greater.
And there are so many better rules to break:
Like the ganja rules
Or the alcohol rules
Or the customs rules
Or the dance bar rules
Or the rules against gambling
So how about a real “break rule agitation”?
That is, breaking significant rules that affect our lives.
Gandhi, of course, showed the way by making salt.
I prefer to break the rule against ganja – by making a nice chillum and smoking it, in public, every day.
So excuse me, for I have a rule to break right now.
