It is not new to see weird videos all over the internet nowadays. Many people put their lives in danger just for the sake of popularity. One such instance is a man whose video went viral and was noticed by the Mahindra & Mahindra chairman, Mr Anand Mahindra. In the video, the rider was sitting on the pillion seat with his legs on one side. This viral video was shared as part of a humorous Meme about Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s statement on introducing driverless cars to India.
Mr Mahindra found the tweet funny and shared it on his Twitter handle with the lines, “Love this…Musafir hoon yaaron…na chalak hai…na thikaana” from the parody of an old Hindi song. While the video got viral, it was not funny at all. Because the rider didn’t even wear a helmet and was becoming a hazard for other people too by doing the stunt on a public road. Tweeters were divided on this post, as some of them were finding it amusing while some were objecting to it from the viewpoint of safety.
These all made Mr Anand Mahindra correct his stance and reshare the post with the comment “Yes, I stand corrected. Musafir hoon yaaron, na chaalak hai, na thikaana, na HELMET…” People should keep in mind that bike riding is fun and they should not destroy this by doing such foolhardy things. One must always wear a helmet while driving and follow all the rules and regulations by the government.
Also, we need to mention that these stunts are illegal and traffic police take stringent action against such things. Hence, nothing is more precious than life; hence, no one has the right to endanger another’s life either. Moreover, we should not encourage such careless acts.
