Chalti Ka Naam Gadi

People in Bombay are lateral thinkers and it shows in their driving. They don't seem to understand that if they follow certain rules, it might seem inconvenient at the moment, but it is all in the interest of getting everyone forward and onward. Setting aside the noxious level of pollution and the crappy roads, getting from point A to point B in Bombay is becoming a Darwinian undertaking.

First of all the road seems to be filled with idiots who insist on driving 3 inches away from my rear bumper and 3 inches from my front bumper, all the while blaring some God forsaken Himesh Reshamiyya song (which just has one word repeated over and over as nauseum) and acting like their Maruti 800 is a Jag or such other. Trust me chumps, you're not impressing ANYONE!!!

Don't even get me started on the guys who drive trucks, who feel the need to assert their masculinity by driving like a**holes

Indians are known to take their wedding and their funerals, their festivals and their processions out into the street, but when you write some sort of slogan/name/what have you on the back of your car, could you try NOT to spell like you failed third grade English?? The gratuitous typos make you look like an idiot.

Strangely, I don't really fault roadside hawkers. I'm not saying I'm encouraging them, but they are just trying to eke out a living. I've already ranted and raved about the state of the roads, but I think after today, I'd rather see the BMC channel the road improvement money to free driving etiquette classes for the public.

Being a diva/lady who lunches is getting harder by the day, especially when I have to leave for a lunch date before breakfast!!!! :P
