Traffic jams are very common now-a-days
Every person seems to own a vehicle now-a-days
The problem is worse in big cities like Bombay and Delhi
Traffic moves at a snail’s pace during peak hours
Once I had gone to Jalandhar
On my way back I got stuck in a traffic jam
It was two days before Gurupurab, the birthday of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji
A huge procession was going on
We call it the Nagar Kirtan
It was a 2 km long procession
There were hundreds of people on tractors and trolleys
On one trolley, the holy book of Sikhs, Guru Granth Sahib was there
People were paying obeisance to the book
Because of the procession we were stuck in the procession for two hours
It was very hot
We could not budge an inch forward or backward
Nor we could leave our car
All people around us were very restless
Finally we heaved a sigh of relief when the traffic started moving
