Take My Trip

I recollect an eventful incident with the French guy on the campus. With all the respect and complete trust on my fast n agile bike riding skills in an open road, still I managed to confront this chic French guy right in front of my bike exactly inches away. With no more fun @ his riding skills, I think we need to educate them about the true driving in our own Beloved INDIA…for the benefit of every Tom, **** n Harry visiting India and daring to drive on Indian roads, I am offering few hints for survival. These are applicable to every place in india except bihar, where life outside a vehicle is only marginally safer.

Indian road rules broadly operate within the domain of karma where you do your best, and leave the results to your insurance company. The hints are as follows: Do we drive on left or right side of the road?? ( I was abt to bump in the French guy cos he was riding on right side of the road)

The true answer is “both”. Basically you should start on the left unless it is occupied. In that case, go to the right, unless that is also occupied. Then proceed by occupying the next available gap, as in the game of chess!! Just trust your instincts, ascertain the direction, and proceed. Adherence to road rules lead to much misery and occasional fatality. (Eloi , do u get wot am I talking abt?? ) Most drivers don’t drive, but just aim their vehicles in the generally intended direction.

Mind you, Don’t, n I repeat don’t ever get discouraged or underestimate yourself except for a belief in reincarnation; the other drivers are not in any better position. Don’t stop at pedestrian crossings just because some fool wants to cross the road. You may do so only if you enjoy being bumped in the back…pedestrians have been strictly instructed to cross only when traffic is moving slowly or has come to dead stop because some minister is in town !!! Still some idiots may try to wade across, but then, let us not talk ill of the dead.

Blowing your horn is not a sign of protest as in some countries. We horn to express our joy, resentment, frustration, romance, and bare interest in other gender (two brisk blasts) or just mobilize a dozing cow in the middle of the bazaar. Keep information books in the glove compartment. You may read them during traffic jams, or while awaiting the rain waters to recede or when over ground traffic meets underground drainage.

The boards announcing one way street are put up by traffic people to add jest in their other wise drab lives. Don’t stick to the literal meaning and proceed in one direction. In metaphysical terms, it means that you cannot proceed in two directions at once. So drive as you like, in reverse throughout, if you are the fussy type.

Least I sound cynical; I must add positive point, also. Rash and fast driving in residential areas has been prevented by providing a speed breaker or two for each house. This mound, incidentally, covers the water and drainage pipes for that residence and is left untarred for easy identification by the corporation authorities, should they want to recover the pipe for the year end accounting!!!! Wot goes in …God knows!!!

but amiga,friend, swthrt woteva with tons of love n tears in my eyes,..... DRIVE ON.....as Mr.RJR claims Life Goes On
