Yes, this is my question that defies an answer. And that too while travelling in one's personal car.
Thanks to the court's directive and for tackling security hazards, the use of sun films on the windshield and the windows has been banned. Strict checking by the wayside, coupled with the slapping of fines seemed to have chastened the Malayalees! The use of sun films have, now, become a thing of the past. But the ingenuous and irrepressible 'mallu' could not be pinned down for long.
Because, these days, he's flirting with the use of curtains in lieu and that too, with a vengeance! Owners have been on a mad scramble to fix curtains in their vehicles. What's the need to cover the interiors? And that too, in the present day vehicles, where the use of tinted glasses by the manufacturers has become common practice?
So, what do we have to hide? Let me try and hazard a few guesses:-
(a) We're up to tricks while travelling.
(b) We're prone to doing unlawful things while we're on the move.
(c) We do not want to see the filth and squalor all around and by the roadside, in particular.
(d) We do not want to see the wretched(?) people by the roadside who's not as lucky to own
their own vehicles.
As I said, the answer eludes me. Could anyone help, please?
Tailpiece.
And there's a proliferation in the use of mini televisions to watch movies while travelling. While its okay in a bus or a maxicab/minivan, to my mind, it's definitely a no no in personal vehicles. Just imagine one's plight when one's behind the wheel and the rest of the family is enjoying a movie? It kills communication....... er, ruthlessly!
