For last couple of days my cars horn went silent… n lazy as I am I drove around without any horn in my car… I was expecting a bad time with the traffic… but to my surprise I didn’t at all encounter any difficulty… I mean wht I experienced was, because there was no horn I as it is drove with a reduced speed…and it wasn’t very difficult drivin around…
Tht time I realized how much noise pollution we increase because of constant honking… everyone is in a hurry to reach their destined place… if at all, the horns of all cars were to be banned then we would have a safer quiter city… safer because ppl wont drive fast…
I would ask all the readers of this blog to try n compete with urself… count the number of times u blow the horn everyday when u drive… and try and reduce the number each day… try to minimize blowin horns… even u will realize what I experienced… at the end of the day if u ‘win’ am sure there will be a smile across ur face…a smile of content… content that u have started contributing towards a noiseless city…
And today the garagewala fixed the horn… n to my surprise he replaced it with a scooter or bike horn which goes “peeeeeeeep” everytime I blow it…n tht too at the lowest decibel… well thts one more way of reducing noise pollution J

I agree completely with you Rahul. I had a similar experience a few months back when my car horn was not working and I dreaded it initially. But then I realised that I could actually cover my entire commute from Thane to Malad withough honking !!!! And since then I follow the no honking norm. I just hope that more people follow this, it will definitely reduce pollution
