1. The rip-off that is called the toll – Rs.17 to use the road leading to the toll and the one beyond it is littered with moon craters that need special driving skills, especially if one is driving the Zen.
2. The 3 kings of the road – cab drivers ( tata indicab ) and the shared autos ( the regular autos look less menacing ), and the screaming yellow lorries ( fully loaded dump lorries really make you hold your breath, and if you trail them long enough, they will even take your breath away )
3. Live spitfest – few samaritan bus commuters and drivers, socially aware and environment friendly auto drivers, biker boyz with a hung-up attitude who want to paint the town red.
4. MotoGP wannabes – zipping through crowded roads with helmets resting peacefully on the petrol tanks or slung stylishly by the helmet locks, and a riding posture to remind us of the professional bike racers taking high speed turns.
5. Unofficial Force India F1 circuit breakers – the sparsely seen Mercs and BMWs and the custom made desi brands, who give a run for your money and life too.
Disclaimer : This by no means includes all the straight thinking citizens who also just happen to use the roads for pure travelling reasons and pleasure.
