Ten Reasons Why Hyderabadis Don't Wear Helmets

Given the way Hyderabadis drive on the roads and behave in general, one would think there’s absolutely no reason behind it all. But we Hyderabadis never do (or don’t do) anything without good reason. Everybody knows we don’t like to wear helmets when we drive our bikes. Here are ten reasons why we don’t like to wear those blasted things:

1. Hyderabadis think they have pretty thick skulls which nothing can break.

2. Hyderabadis don’t have much by way of brains to save by wearing helmets.

3. Helmets cost money which is better spent on biryani and beers.

4. Helmets do not make it easy to spit.

5. Helmets make it difficult to talk on our mobiles with friends and family.

6. Helmets are for others to wear not for us Hyderabadis.

7. Helmets make it difficult for our friends recognize us on the roads.

8. Helmets aren't easy to wear. We haven’t really learnt to wear them properly.

9. Helmets prevent the girls from taking a look at our, er… handsome faces.

10. Helmets make us bald.

Do we need more reasons?
