Hand power

Its crazy how we miss the obvious. 
He stands right there in front of us every single day and just with a movement of his fingers..his hand..he commands so many to move. Everyone is just waiting for that one gesture. To capitalise on the movement....to not miss out on a single second of the time he has given them.
Donno if you figured out who he is...but I am gonna let the cat out of the bag..its our very own Traffic Policeman.
Think about it.
How many lives does he hold in his hand...in a day...how many lives he saves.
The people are idiots...known fact.
They always need somebody to direct them. Left to the people alone without a governing force, its going to the dogs...oh no...dogs is too good a term to use here...the world wud be in utter chaos...in simple words.
So everyone needs a traffic policeman. As much as they think that signals have replaced him, the fact is that in the end, if there is an increase in the traffic, he has to be called.
And in today's world..in no way is he less than the one standing on the border and defending our country.
He fights against death..slow death here....a death which is certain..with all the pollution and the chance of an angry driver running him down any moment.
He is doing more than what we do at most of our jobs. Inhaling all the dirt and dust and standing in the sun...in the rain...all so that we can go by without ramming into each other. I have to say, it is a very noble profession...putting urself out there...someone could probably observe the traffic policemen all over and write a book on them...the someone might be me.

So saluting some of the most powerful front line men in our country...The traffic policemen of our country...hope they keep doing their jobs..so idiots like us can drive like fools on the road....
Thank you Mr. Pandu!!

    Excellent Observation which most of us didn't even think of. Kudos!!!
