You forgot to mention "It is mandatory for pedestrians using the sidewalks to give way for vehicles, whenever the need comes up", oh and "Roads in India, nowadays, are only meant for socializing. So it is perfectly normal and ok to stop your vehicle in the middle of the road, during peak traffic hours, and make small talk and catch up with a friend of yours, possibly on another vehicle." hilarious stuff.

Hilarious post, you never skip a beat. And I'm sorry, but if I see a streetside defecator, I'm pulling the heck over and taking a picture, for my blog.

If you promise not to laugh: I was notorious for "cancelling" out turn indicators - i.e. when I was on a 2 wheeler (bicycle or kinetic), I'd stick my arm out to indicate I'm turning (yes, despite the actual indicator - they're no use)....and then when I realized that wasn't where I meant to turn, I'd happily draw a cross at the same level in the air, thus nullifying the turn :-| (You promised you wouldn't laugh) 3. I think Indians can take the credit for inventing the smallest unit of time - semi-demi-hemi-nano-second? It's the time between the traffic light turning green and the guy behind you honking like you just didn't see it! Take care... g nda,

1. good to see you back!

Great new site! My husband and I always recall - with some laughter and some terror - the ordeal of crossing the street in Bangalore last year. It had to be done everyday to get to Gandhi Bazaar and buy food, clothes, whatever, but every time it was just as terrifying. That’s hilarious. Great new site!
