A tragic truth, but truth nevertheless!

This is a serious one - Delhi has the 2nd worst driving sense according to me after Hyderabad. One reason i feel is the constant honking and the second one, the broad roads. Cars want to travel not below 80kmph here. The other cities dont enjoy the facility of broad roads, so the speed is much lesser and hence the fatalities are less as well.
This may sound like something i might preach and not follow, but while going out this evening there was an accident that took place. The man was bleeding from his head. I was in an auto, and could see him struggling for survival. There were at least 30 people surrounding him and everyone was trying to stop the crowd from coming there. There was not even a single soul who tried to help the guy and put him in an ambulance. The police and ambulance were no where to be seen. I am still so ashamed at myself for not doing anything there, anyways I hope the police would have reached there on time.
This brings me to a couple of important topics. One, the now infamous BRT corridor project in some parts of the capital. For those who are new to this just a brief intro about the project. Its an exclusive bus lane with medians around it, so that the buses not interfere with other forms of traffic. Since there is only one lane for either direction (and median between them) the buses cant overtake each other. Bus stops are marked properly and new buses were introduced to ply on such roads. The basic purpose of the Govt was to reduce the number of private vehicles on roads and make people use public transport more. According to govt figures, 60-65% of Delhi's population uses public transport, while the rest 35-40% makes up the vast number of cars plying on Delhi's roads. (Delhi alone has more no of cars and two wheelers than Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai put together!!).
I would be critical of certain aspects of Delhi's mentality here. There was many people who feel its below their dignity to travel by public transport (however good it may be) and would never leave their cars!! South Delhi where this project was implemented has lot of "high class" people. So, the number of cars are obviously high there. The media in its bid to get more coverage and TRP, highlighted the "plight" of the car drivers! IIT Delhi which developed this project kept on urging people to use the buses. But the influential media in our country and specially Delhi made sure that the BRT was made to look like a Ravan and discarded!! My cousin uses the BRT daily and he says the travel time by bus from office in south Delhi to Moolchand hospital had reduced by 15-20 mins because of the separate lane for buses.
This brings me to the 2nd important issue that I planned to write. The media!!

I accept that media helped crack a lot of cases, brought in front many irregularities. But a closer look will tell us that all those cases were those of well to do people. They fight for justice in the Nitish Katara case, Aarushi case, Jessica Lall case, all were high figh people with great contacts. The reason? They were linked to some politicians and the channel can get the TRP by pulling the name. There are so many people waiting to get justice. The media never shows interest there. One more thing that is beyond me is the fact that Aarushi's murder never qualifies to be a "National News" to be shown day in and day out. We in Delhi have no choice but to hear about it, but what about the rest of India? Shouldnt the media be held accountable for showing us crap most of the time? At the same time as citizens shouldnt we be also ashamed at the fact that we have taken so much liking to such "Breaking News"???

I guess we must ponder over this, as they supply is because of the demand, so we cant fault the channels alone. Something we must ponder over seriously!!
