contradictions on road...

I was on a return journey from Kovalam with my class, after a field trip. The breeze from the window that stormed into the bus literally thawed me since I was frozen by the ocean already!! As the bus went past ECR , entering into the mainstream city there was a very pleasant feeling of familiarity in the busy city road although I love nature more than traffic!
Everyone on the road seemed to be traveling with me towards a destination. An immediate connection with the city was felt by my heart. The closer i went near college, more familiar the path, more love to the familiarity grew from within.In few minutes my love reached no bound as i stepped out of the bus into the college road.

After waving bye to my class, I asked one of my friends whom I had promised to drop home to wait at the entrance so that I could bring the vehicle.
There at the parking lot my Aunt's pleasure winked at me and asked "seems like you are in love with your co travelers?" "come mount me and see if you still feel the same" it chided me. With puzzled thoughts I started the engine with my friend out of the campus... Out of the love...

All the vehicles behind, after and beside me appeared enemies! Ones at the back were an everliving threat to my lead over them! Ones in the front- Factors of Jealousy! The motors on either side resembled killing machines you see in old Tamil movies, sharp metal tools edging towards you, ready to kill anytime! All of us try to overtake, to ride over, to win...
There is time when you breathe, at the signals(I usually turn off the engine) but you can still hear the cries of all the beasts that are ready to charge, You see a green light and next microsecond a shrill horn follows and there, restores the rat race again!!
Where are we all going??????always in a hurry...
