Beep! Beep! boopp!!! brum! brum!!! bam! bam! woom! wooh!

Don’t worry those are not some alien languages nor some unknown music instrument. Well! you all are quite aware of it. Hmm! any guess, you know it. Well! I know some of you already know it. Well okay the curtain is dropped. Welcome, to the Indian roads. Well you heard it correct, i am talking about the everyday commute orchestra, the bands on roads and somehow we all take part in it directly or indirectly and we all complain about it the same. Well there are some trump blower, we feel proud to lead this orchestra.

I every weekday commute to work and thankful to the weekend, when i can just shun my windows and sleep late and completely take myself away from the road and just relax! peacefully. It feel so serene. But as all good things come to an end. This too paradise ends soon. And i am again welcome to road on from Monday to the much awaited Friday.

I just hate it! like extreme hate! like how Trump hate! the migrant. I feel you bro, in the similar way. I just don’t understand why do people they blow so much horn. Well, after everyday cursing the road i finally opened my design thinking mind, and decided to understand the why and how can we curb it. HAhahahah I did think of some pretty evil ideas too. :P

I studied them in the following ways:

  • Types of horn
  • Who blow the most horn ?
  • Does horn tells something about the person blowing it ?
  • What is the reason for honking?
  • Ways to curb this menace(indeed! i consider this as the greatest menace on the road).

Now lets put our thinking cap one by one:

  • Types of horn

a). Beep horn (single) — Excuse me!

b). Signal horn (a continuous set of two three beep horn) — Hey! watch out.

c). Long horn with gap in between — Hey! beware

d). Loud horn (most irritating of all) — Sorry! this road is a private property, you are trespassing on my way.

  • Who blow the most horn ?

a). Hey! this my new super bike check it out.

b). The wind riders (not necessarily all, but some just want you to know that they are here)

c). The late risers (shit! 5 min. before i reach my office)

d). I am Indian and we are loud deal with it. (hahaha)

  • Does horn tells something about the person blowing it ?

a). The Narcissist personality

b). The procastinator

c). The always i am right guy/girl. (Why should boy have all the fun?)

  • The reason for honking?

a). Well this reason i need to work out yet.

  • Ways to curb this menace ? (hahah time to put the imagine er cap)

a). A horn meter installed on every device, where you blow for more than 5 hours in a month your fine is automatically deducted from your account (thanks to aadhar cards ;))

b). A horn meter installed on every motor vehicle, wherein your horn get silent after 5 hours of honking sorry! no horn for you now.

c). A horn deflector — you blow horn too loud your handle sends you a hap tic feedback when ever you blow it too loud or way too long at a stretch.

d). Automatic deactivation of horn when you reach certain places (thanks to internet of things and big data)

e). A horn shield — If a person behind you blow too loud horn, automatically the vehicle in the front activates a horn blow backwards.

f). A smart helmet — Imagine a world, where no horn exist but a smart helmet wherein a display is illuminated, when the horn is pressed from back on your peripheral vision. The visual is activated on the helmet of people directly in the 40 degree vision of the driver only.

Well, this post is result of agony and the numerous wtf moments and it expresses my own subjective reason and aimed towards, erratic user of horn. Well, horn do share important message but i am talking about people who use it just because they can.

Your opinion and comment matter, please do share your thoughts on it.

tc beautiful poeple and thanks for reading it. (cheers and #saynotostupidhorn blowing # use horn properly # no horn, please! drive safely.

Cheers.
