What is mean by being Independent?

15th August, Time around 8.00 PM., Place: Near Swargate.

There was a signal near Laxminarayan, and traffic got blocked for some minutes. The walking people are using the foot path, and suddenly a person with no patience moved his bike on foot path, to go ahead than others. He lost his control and hit a man around age 45. The man had injury on his right leg. Luckily the man had not hit much. The person with bike is not even having any sorry for the situation and shouted on the old man saying "साइड ला चालता येत नाही का? आता वय झालाय, संध्याकाळी घरी बसाव चुपचाप."..........

15th August, Time around 5.30 PM., Place: Parivartan Bus on Mumbai - Pune highway.

The bus was almost pack with very few sits vacant at different places. When CBD Belapur came 6-7 person are rushed for Bus and asking if the Seats are vacant. Conductor said, please come I will manage for all of you, just leave the number 3 & 4 sear as they are reserved from Panvel. The Conductor was a old man, seems reaching his 50. He slowly asked all those passengers about whether they are alone or in couple or group. and then requested different people who accommodated single seats. He adjusted almost everyone except a guy. Then he asked that guy if he wants to seat in cabin, else I will arrange your seat in other bus at Panvel station. But the guy agreed. I have never seen such responsible conductor in my life.

When I thought on both of these situations at night, my question is "What is mean by being independent?", Is that mean do whatever you think, do whatever you want, say whatever you likes? Or "Being responsible"?

Really its time for us to think on this............
