Sex on the highway..

..n no, this is not some lecherous post ..so dont get all worked up. The abovesaid caption is , according to a daily newspaper, worldwide the third most favourited 'routine destination' (whatever the heck that is..) for couples in an amorous mood n seeking a place to vent out their passionate inner urge .. THAT , after the perennial bedroom and the kitchen took the first and the second spots.

Hmm.. come to think of it.. (..the poll result that is..), the key word in all of this is 'world wide' , coz , there's no way you're telling me that the three and a half hour on the highway it takes me to get out of this city (..which , incidently , is 250% above the normal time it should take..) is coz some god-only-knows-who libidinous couple is finding it hard to climax their sojourn.. (the pun being purely co-incidental..) amidst all the honking all around .. , which is a theory i'm NOT ready to buy (thats unless, of course, the couple got stuck in the dastardly traffic themselves and tried to make use of their time in the best possible manner possible.. the word people , is, creativity)

So, with all due respect to the poll and its creator/s (who..i'm sure got the idea of the poll caption during one of their long drives ..so as to put it mildly..) .. , terming the third from the top poll result as 'routine destination' , seems a little far-fetched.. thats unless this city comes outside the purview of the word.. 'world'. A one-off instance or the flare-up of passion on one such drive when you , surprisingly, have the whole road to yourself, might seem a possibility .. but try driving on the highway on any particular day , or night for that matter, and if anything other than getting out of the messy conglomeration of traffic comes to your mind - AND routinely, as the poll puts it.., and buddy you're in for a tough talk , if that car ahead of mine holding up the traffic, hapens by any chance to be yours.. so hit the gas and MOVE ON...

(P.S. - this post was conceived on mention of the word 'highway' . removing the word , thereby implying ANY place outdoors .. would be preferable ..and make a lot more sense.. )
