· 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
