Manners Oh Manners

Manners Oh Manners !!!!! Where have you Disappeared these days, Just Vanished in Thin air is it ?? There was a time when all Emphasis was on how to Manage you & how you could be called Educated but not civilised if one didnt know how to manage you --- Having you was the thing - its benefits would be realsied over a period of time  --- It all looks a story of the Past, it seems - The Sudden Demise of Manners - Yes, I know you will vehemently disagree with me, but just observe around & you will agree

• Rampant Cases of Road Rages - where seemingly Educated People, atleast they all could speak English, i came to know through reports- get down to brawls, verbal spats, one upmanship ,such an ugly & ostentatious display of power, the hunger to display that power, at times ending Peoples lives - & by the way all this happens majorly in the Big Cities - Delhi  - the mecca of Urbanisation, Progress, English Speaking & Educated People

• Parking Brawls - Again Owners of Houses in Posh Residential areas find it fit to settle Parking issues by a Fit for Deafening series of Verbal assuages, UnParlimentary Language, showing little respect for women & even elders. All this by Highly Educated & Rich, may be the Elite Class of People - again in the Bigger Cities of this country
• People Conveniently Blocking Key traffic areas ,at times even blocking Lanes by Parking their Cars, without any concern, as to how any body else would take their Cars out, in times of Emergency -
• Simple Ettiquettes Like leaving seats for Elderly or Women, in Buses, at Waiting areas in Hospitals, Clinics looks like stuff from Fairy Tales
• "ts all about the Look Busy Syndrome" - Thats Right - You have arrived in Life, if you are busy - Jetsetting, always on the Move, always rearing to go, on  the Move, On the Rush, is your stamp of having arrived - In this horde of things, you dont have any place - Dear Manners - I need to be the first one to reach, I need be the 1st one to screachingly drive away from the Red Light, I should be the 1st One to park my Car (That Old neighour of Mine, well he can have all the Manners)
• Causing Incovenience to Others at the Cost of ensuring Ones Convenience is becoming as acceptable as Corruption within Political Circles - yes thats a Given, it is only the Quantum which varies. I mean, Its so common to see People park their Cars in the middle of the road & conveniently Chat, even when there is a horde of cars behind them to finish their Conversation - if it ends in 10 secs its ok & acceptable

I am sure there are many examples one can relate from Daily life to clearly see, that Manners are quickly disappearing from Our Interaction Cycle- whether it is with Our maids, Colleagues, Our Road Rage Inflicted Roadies, Relations, Friends - Others Incovenience at your Luxury is a simple & soon to be accepted fact - Manners may intervene in only deciding the Quantum of Inconvenience
