Why should we walk on the left side of the road? Why should not we walk on right side of it?
***
This is the question which had been entertained by me in my every day thoughts, until I got convinced with the answer that I have got recently. I used to think that if we walk on the left side of the road, we would not be aware of the vehicles that come from back side of us, and we might be hit by one of them if that driver looses the control. Where as, if we walk on the right side of the road, then at least we would be looking after ourselves carefully so that no one would come and hit us without our prior notice, so that there would be a chance of escape or a chance of surviving ourselves from the peril.
But recently, I got the answer for my quest, or at least I believe that I have got it. Here it goes…
***
There are two ways to live life. In one, you can be conscious and careful about people who would disturb you, who would discourage you, who would trouble you for different reasons. And in the other, you can be free from the thoughts of the same people, and lead your life care freely and reach your goals time to time, by not bothering about the people who are meant to cause you some problem. In both the ways, you can actually live your life, but the difference comes in your pace and in your mental stress.
Being on the left side of the road you see your destination; and being on the right side, you see the coming vehicles in addition to your thoughts of reaching the destination. In one way you should believe people as well as your own capability, and in the other you should believe in only yourself. So finally I thought of preferring the first, i.e. walking on the left side of the road and living life in my fashion and passion without thinking much about other’s misunderstandings/comments/mistakes etc. In this way I related these different life styles to the left-right concept.
PS: Did I sound little philosophical…? Hehehe…but, I mean every word of it.

thats soo true ...life always has the 2 sides and it depends on the situation to see which side we take at the moment..
ok as per US they walk on right side..:p we cant blame they took the rong side :)...
life for us may be different and happy on one side the same side may be different for the other person...so we cant take sides seeing the others its just individaul view :)..

Hi Pramoda...
It is the other day, once again a provoking thought coming from your mind. I am very happy to see this question coming from your mind, which I have got it in my diploma days and I asked my roommate to prove it too.
At that time I have correlated with some other thing but I have forgotten. Still I am trying to recollect it to phrase it here.
"Reach your destination without thinking about the obstracles happenning to you but achieve it with pace and without mental stress"
Wahhh.. fantastic thought.
Good narration between oneself and others... and once again you proved yourself that u have some creativity. Keep it up.
Happy Journey to you. Have a safe journey too... Enjoy alot at your home and come back again with lots of thoughts and creativity to give us Dussehra specials.
Happy Dussehra to you ... byeeeeee

this is one question tat really haunted me.. and lately i started walking on the right side of the road itself..
hmmm but now aft reading ur post i will walk to the left of the road.. very well said.. cos personally i ve fear of vehicles and irritating bangalore traffic and walking on rt side made me feel even worse but now i found my answer both in terms of road and path of life
That was philosophical but very true. One pat on shoulder of the person who gave this answer and one to you who shared this with us :)
Enjoy your leave :)
Profound thoughts.
Have a good time at home with your family and friends.
this article actually helped in solving a very nagging problem of mine...
thanks..
and yes...happy holidays!!
I am not aware whether one can see destinations better being on the left side of the road but it is riskier.I have always been advised to walk on the right side to see oncoming vehicles and run no risk of any vehicle coming from behind hitting you.
Have a great time,Pramoda,at your home town.
awww I never thought u'd get into life philosophy ...wth that quest..
well yeh u r ryt..
we shud always walk on the left side of the road(life)..(as u said) cos it's not abt not bothering of the others but rather about.walking together..but also about maintaining a uniqueness..
n yah i juss hope u hav a gud net connection ter...
hope to see u soon...bt yeh if not then ..gud wishes
n yah hav fun n njoy ur holzzzz :):)

WOW Pramoda! Did you come up with that yourself or did you read this somewhere? I'm really curious! Because I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the philosophy! I am so glad I got to read it! Enjoy your holiday :)
HI Tranquility,
It was all mine ..:)... i thought fr somany days and then i got to know it..:) Thanks alottt..:)
Hi! Pramoda,
Did u sound philosophical? Or were u logical? Left or right? it all depends on ur mind, as u said living ur life in ur passion & fashion. Whichever side u walk, if u r vulnerable, there is always a chance to get disturbed, be it an arrival of a wayward vehicle from front or a loud horn from behind, So keep ur cool and always aim for the same till u reach the destination, ur thoughts are interesting, happy hols.. :)
@ Readers dias
Hey ..thanks for sharing ur insight ..:)
Happy time to u as well..:)
