We all know love is blind. But does music also make one blind? That too with these iPods, Music phones like Sony Ericsson, Nokia etc. At least I think so from what I am seeing off late. Most people working in IT companies, have to endure long boring journeys every day. They listen to music to beat the boredom.
But I don’t understand, why they use Music as a mode of committing suicide? Who in his/her right mind will listen to music while crossing road? That too at a busy junction like BTM water tank or south end circle? Lesser said about the people talking on phone, whilst crossing the road. Dude! Hands free is nice and good. But please take your life seriously. Its not cool getting hit by a speeding vehicle!
In the past 10 days I have observed at least 5 to 6 people who would have been run over by speeding vehicles. And all of them had the earphone glued to their ears. Silly people, I say!

i do that… when i get down from the bus and if some nice song is on… but i reduce the volume to a bare minimum so that i hear noises on the road as well…

Shhhhh,
Don’t you think its risky? Its not about the volume. Its about how alert you are!

I know, my mom would go bonkers if she hears I do this.. But whats life, without a little risk :-p…?
But somehow, out of fear or something, I be extra careful when I have music on… you might say, evlo kashta patu paatu kekanuma nu.. but some people are crazy, as they say !

Vishnu,
Good move!
Shhhhh,
How true
Nandu,
I tried once or twice after I bought my N73. Found it to be a distraction and stopped listening to music, atleast while riding

Are you sure they were listening to music?
I too have my headphones plugged into my ears while crossing, but my player is in pause mode.
I know many people who do that!

I listen to music while travelling and switch it off when getting down at my stop. I also make it a point not to take any calls while travelling.
Most of these accidents happen when the victim is so engrossed with the call for example a close friend’s call or a better halfs’ call. One can always call these people back when comfortable.

You know, a classmate of mine lost her life, because she was so immersed in the music she was listening too that she didnt hear the train coming while crossing the tracks. She died last year. Technology is definetly being misused…
