Chaos on the Indian roads.

There is something about Indian roads and the Indian traffic......

We in India say that if you can drive in India, its a piece of cake to drive in any part in the world.....

We say this because driving requires loads of talent in this country.......

You should also know a little bit of telepathy...... read on to know why.....

For one, nobody and I mean nobody follows the rules..... you'll find people breaking them all the time..... Rules what rules.... they are for you, not for me.....

Everyday I am faced with this ..... and especially when you are a woman and driving..... the Men have a problem.... Its okay you can drive.... as long as its a small car...... but if they see a woman driving a big car... they have some serious ego problems..... Like today I was trying to get out of a junction with four roads.....{ its an odd junction off sorts.... well, with chennai, you'll always find odd junctions errupting from almost anywhere....} well getting back to the point.......One of the connecting roads, in the junction is a one way ,but who cares if its a one way..... there was a huge jam and  nobody had patience ... everyone wants to rush.... not that waiting for a couple of minutes is going to delay them much, but our country men are always in the race of being FIRST...... so, everybody in a rush to get out of the jam.... were making the jam even worse..... and I in the midst of it was patiently making my way out and I get bombared by other's for being patient.... I wanted to fight back but that would have made the matter worse..... it would have caused further more chaos so I thought the most sensible thing to do was to get away from there as soon as possible......

You can find this scenario in almost every other part of the city...... not just jams or impatient commuters...... you can find pedestrians, or motor cyclist, or cyclist poping out of nowhere on a high way.... or a main road, Auto rickshaw's just stopping in the middle of the road without warning.... (know why you need the telepathy) Public buses supposedly stopping at the bus stops.....but actually blocking the road causing further disruption to the flowing traffic.......
And the worst of all..... You drive minding your business..... and an Auto rickshaw driver... or a Motor cyclist whose attention is anywhere but on the road ahead..... comes and rams into your vehicle and then the man whose was enjoying looking at whatever that he was looking at  tells his sad story to the victim and takes money from the victim....... and moves on.... where else does this sort of thing happen...... I wonder.....

However, one thing is certain.....

 If you can drive in India............ You can drive in any part of the world........
