Today, as I navigated the bustling streets of our vibrant city, I couldn’t help but notice a peculiar urban phenomenon: the curious case of the underused footpaths. 🤔
Picture this: I’m behind the wheel, the sun is shining, the birds are... well, I assume they're chirping somewhere beyond the honking cars. And there they are - the footpaths strangely deserted. It's like they're the Lauki ya phir broccoli at a kid's dinner party - present, but largely ignored!
So, why are these well-paved pathways playing second fiddle to the asphalt stage of the main road?
Maybe its the Lava Game, Adult Edition. Remember the childhood game where the floor is lava? Maybe everyone’s just really committed to not touching the footpath-lava. Commitment level: Expert.
Perhaps there’s an invisible, city-wide obstacle course that only pedestrians know about. Footpaths are 'too easy mode', and they're all about that challenge life!
I'm convinced there's a secret society- (The Secret Society of Pavement Avoiders SSPA) that meets in undisclosed locations, solemnly swearing to never walk on footpaths. Their initiation? A brisk walk down the busiest road!
Ya phir follow the Leader chal raha hai. Once one person creates a path, it's only a matter of time before it becomes the new norm. We're social creatures, after all - if it's good enough for one, it's good enough for many.
Or maybe it's a silent protest against GPS devices. "You can't control us, satellites in the sky!"
Or is everyone just waiting for a flash mob to start. Any moment now
In all seriousness, it’s a quirky reminder of the unpredictable nature of city life and human behavior. While footpaths are there for safety and convenience, sometimes the path less traveled (or walked) is the one on the road.
Have you noticed this in your city?
