Traffic Jam Part 1

Many many of you must have been stuck into traffic that has caused by, rash drivers... But have you ever got stuck in a traffic jam caused by a landslide. On our way back from Tawang to Bomdila, around 30kms from Bomdila, there was a landslide. Our driver was very keen to check how the situation was and left us in the vehicle. Ofcourse, theres something called fear that each of us has to live with, and at that very moment we were a fountain just spreading fear all over the face of the road. I agree that there wasn’t much life on or beside us, I mean on 1 side is a nice tall wall of the hill, which wants to fall off and make humans work and on the other side there is this big valley.I think this is one of the ways, Mother Earth takes her revenge. But in the very line that we were waiting there was a military convoy. Buses containing all military people, and hence the Border Roads Organisation(BRO) was under a hell lot of pressure to clear up the road. I know that sometimes if the pressure is very high in a pressure cooker then the lid just blasts off, but I think a living person would prefer to just blast off. But they did that literary…....blasted the whole damn huge rock with dynamites. Now that’s what pressure does to people. That’s why we always say, people crumble against pressure, well if stones can crumble, then people have to.
