Riot or the Delhi sealing and Rajkumar rage

The iron-willed juggernaut
Rolls on by.
It cannot be moved,
cannot be turned.
It does not loveā€¦
Anger born and bred
In the dark bowels of polite company
Simmers, swells and bursts.
Rage against the machine
Rips fragile limb
Breaks bystander heart
Tear, shred, break,
Tear, shred, break
Tear, shred, break.
The uncaring juggernaut
Rolls on by.

auto lanes and other idiot traffic solutions

What is with this vehicular segregation on Cubbon Road? We won't discriminate against you based on caste, creed, colour or religion. But we'll tell you which side of the road to drive on based on the kind of vehicle you drive. That is so absurd. They tried it with buses and it didn't work, they tried it with two-wheelers and it didn't work. Why oh why do they think compulsorily putting autos on the left side of the road is going to miraculously solve problems?
