Mobile Phones

How many times we see people going about their lives, walking on the roads using mobiles. While the government is discouraging people to speak on their phones while driving people should realize that talking on the phone while walking is also equally dangerous, your attention is on the conversation and many a times one does not realize the traffic which is there or some speeding vehicle which is coming their way since their attention is diverted.

Talking, listening to music while walking maybe pleasurable but at the cause of serious damage to oneself since the attention is divided. It's best that if you do want to take a call, try and take it by halting on the side of the road.

Listening to music is fun, but why not listen to it when you're not walking on the road.

I know all this sounds preachy coming from a guy who likes to listen to music himself, but then have come to know of several cases off late where the attention was not on the surroundings either due to a call or listening to music on headphones and people have met with severe accidents.

So guys please, please be responsible for your own safety, don't walk around like zombies. Take care.
