Most automobile enchutiasts (read, most Detroit Returned Automobile Teniya) in India drive 137 kms or 1370 km to score social media reactions. They start posting reviews about the need for ventilated seats to keep their derriere hot or cold, about how their legs pained because their car was not automatic, about how safe or unsafe they felt because of the build quality of their car, about how good or bad the air conditioning of their car is, about how good or bad the headlights of their cars are, about how they drove at 120 kmph while their spouse and daughter cribbed that their role-person was as slow as a bullock cart and therefore floored the accelerator to touch 160 kmph, etc, etc. They boast the need for a road trip after every 2 months or to exceed their previous best record of driving 55,000 kms in a year with wife and daughter for pleasure.
They wear special footwear bought from Dec*ath*lon, dungarees and tees bought from W*ill*s Li*festyle or Shopp*ers St*op, shades bought from some glitzy branded stores for their long drives and blow away a couple of thousand rupees within one or two evening outings.
If those enchutiasts don't find an outlet selling sandwiches or pastas or ₹250 or if they don't find toilet to pee or sh*it which doesn't smell of jasmine every 39 kms, then India is supposedly moving in reverse gear in full throttle ever since 2014 . They want the karmyogi CMO of India to 'regine'!
Their list of 'wants' are infinitely long.
On the other hand we have the real roadies (read, heroes) who travel and sleep hundreds or even thousands of kms, fully dressed up in their official attire in open trucks in extreme weather conditions to the farthest borders of Bharat Mata to ensure that we and also the deshdrohis sleep in the comfort of our temperature controlled bedrooms after yummy hearty dinners every night. Some of us speak in unison with an overgrown adolescent or the ille*gitim*ate children of commie uncles to insult and demotivate these very heroes.
Next time, when you are out for a drive and something displeases you, don't crib. Think of these real heroes you see in the attached video. They too have parents, wife, children and dear one far off in some obscure town or village. For them it's not their personal comfort that comes first. For them it's always the Nation First.
