Roadroller: The Raja of Roads

Nobody dares to mess up with Ram Sanehi on the roads.

He doesn't move fast but still he rules over the road. The rash drivers are also cautious when they see him and don't take risk or try to overtake him unless he allows them to do so.

Who can dare challenge a road roller? Even those who don't care much about getting dents on their cars from the tempos and loading autos that have sharp edges jutting out of them, get careful when they see the huge roadroller moving on the big metal wheels.

The roadroller doesn't move fast. It has its own speed. It barely exceeds 20 kmph. But those owning the most expensive automobiles lose confidence on a narrow road with a roadroller ahead of them.
And this gives him Ram Sanehi kick, the sort of high. He doesn't earn much but has the satisfaction that he can drive at his own pace.

He stands no chance of being the victim of a road rage on Indian roads that are getting more riskier by the day ad with nobody honking or daring to graze past him.

He calls it 'Sadak ka Raja'. The Road roller that moves graciously like an elephant is a good option for Indian roads, if you like solitude and don't need to hurry. Given the scary figure of accidents on Indian roads. Think of it. Seriously!

I bet even he checks left and right when crossing a railway track. Specially given his speed. :)

But apart from that, Yeah! no risk of a fender bender in that one.

That reminds me something!!. One of my friend in my college days used to have an old Bajaj scooter that was very ugly, chechak zada (dented) all over, imagine that it was so ugly that at times even cows used to leave the road and make way upon its sighting and arrival beacause of the noise and uglyness!!!. And the funny part was when I bought my new bycycle he (my friend) used to challenge me: "gari larao ge". After seeing this road roller mujhe apni nazuk see cycle yaad aa gayee!!!!!!!!!!!!
