Driving இன் இந்தியா....

This is certainly an interesting an debatable topic to blog...

Driving in India is certainly fun, tiring and challenging(esp if you are driving a car). There are two sides of this post. The Funnier side and the serious side..Lemme try to touch base on both the ends of the spectrum..

I've few funny experiences while driving...

on fine busy day(as ever) on road, I was following The tail lights of few other cars...I was travelling at about 45 kmph and there was a van behind me who kept honking..Initially I thought I could change lane(I know there is some oen asking me..is there something called lane in Chennai) and let him follow The cars that I was following...But I got frustrated when The honking persisted and decided not to pave him way. Now, when I stopped at a signal, The van came besides me. I was prepared to shout at him and lowered my window..The van driver shouted..caar பார்க் பண்ணிட்டு நடந்து போக வேண்டியது தானே... I din want to give a shoit back and said.... நீ எல்லா வண்டியும் தாண்டி பறந்து போக வேண்டியதுதானே !!! I generally resist talking like this on road..But still wondering what made me talk like this...
On the serious side..I wonder why people do the following
1. Honk even when the signal is red..I generally don't tend to give way...I at times wonder am i doing the right thing...
2. Change so called lanes hilariously
3. Go in One-way

I always find it difficult to digest such things...that has been my nature from the day I started driving two-wheelers.........

Still wondering as how thse people could be educated on road sense....
