These days, it is not unusual to see people listening to music or using their electronic gadgets
while crossing busy roads or travelling on public transports, regardless of the risks involved. I have
often wondered why they take such risks : is it because they want to exude a sense of
independence, or is it that they want to tell the world to stop bothering them ? Or is it that they justwant to show how cool they are ? Whether it is a workman or an executive, earphones have
become an inseparable part of our lives, sometimes even leading to tragicomic situations.
The other day, an electrician had come to our house to fix something. We told him in detail what
needed to be done. But after he left, I found that the man had done almost nothing. It later turned
out that he could not hear our directions clearly because he had an earphone on. Hundreds of
such earphones addicts commute by the Delhi Metro every day. While one should not begrudge
anyone their moments of privacy or their love for music, the fact is 'iPod oblivion' can sometimes
be very dangerous.
Recently, I was travelling with my wife on the Delhi Metro. Since the train was approaching the
last station, there weren't too many passengers. In our compartment, other than us, there were
only two women sitting cm the other side of the aisle. And then suddenly, I spotted a duffel bag.
The bomb scare lasted for several minutes. Then suddenly, a youth emerged from nowhere and
picked up the bag. VWhen we tried to stop him, he looked at us, surprised. Then he took off his
earpieces, lifted the bag, and told us that the bag belonged to him and that he was going to get off
at the next station.
We were stunned but recovered in time to ask him where he was all this while. His answer: he
was in the compartment, leaning against the door totally immersed in the music. He had no clue
about what was going on around him. When he got off, earplugs in his hand, we could hear strains
of the song.
) What reasons does the author offer for the people taking risks on the road ?
(i) Why didn't the electrician carry out the work properly ?
(ii) Why were the people in the Metro doubtful about the bag ?
(iv) Why were the passengers stunned ?
(v) Explain the term 'earphone addicts'?
