I used to encounter it quite frequently during college, especially on the outer ring road of Bangalore. It would scream for life, crying for the obstructions to clear and make way for it quickly. Only, the obstacles seem to gridlock its path. It would make me sick to helplessly watch it desperately struggle to move.
It's one thing that can induce profound fear in me, even if I'm exposed to it just for a moment. An ambulance taking a patient to the hospital is no pretty sight. I close my eyes and say a little silent prayer.

In an emergency, the situation can be handled only by acting fast and with purpose. An ambulance exemplifies this. The sight isn't terrifying, its reassuring. It is one of the rare sights where we witness the best that can be done.
