Why do autowallahs do that?

You know, look down at their crotch at regular intervals while driving? It's not like they're detachable body parts that will fall off if you're not careful or looking frequently enough. Uff.

I've noticed it on several occasions. And i notice it particularly because i've had a couple of bad experiences with autowallahs around town. So everytime their hands or eyes stray there, i'm thrown into immobility. After the first instance that happens though, my eyes keep going there just to make sure they're not being assholes.

But it's funny, really. I haven't figured out why they keep looking at their crotch. Or maybe they're looking at the ground below their crotch, at their feet. But why would they want to do that? I mean, there's so much more interesting stuff to look at out the windscreen - a butt crack out to take a breather from the tight jeans the woman on the Kinetic is wearing; or a man slowly pulling his girlfriend's hand forward and caressing it; or the middle-aged pot-bellied pseudo-youngster on the Honda Activa picking his nose, thinking he's being surreptitious but not actually. Better still, they can crib in Kannada about how the traffic is, or discuss in glee the extra money they've asked from their poor passengers.

I guess it can be attributed to them being men: apparently, the species thinks about sex once every six seconds. And i guess their manhood is just symbolic of it. Some sort of subconscious reflex.

Ugh. Whatever.
