Escape by cats whiskers.........

Ever wonder how we outgrew nightmares………..well I haven’t …many out there will probably agree with me when I say “Traffic”. Do you need lessons on survival…our traffic teaches. See that young guy …….on his remodeled Yamaha…..his silencer cut off.
He just passed me by………. well over 70……. only to wait at the traffic light.

Animals some four-legged some two………traipse on the road completely oblivious of the fact that that they are a hazard and nuisance both to themselves and to ME.

Pedestrians: have you ever wondered why they look away from traffic as they cross the road?

Do the drivers even have a small notion of what yield and merge is?
Indicators on our vehicles are just for show………no one uses them…..and even if they do it is either too late or it is a malfunction……….happily winking at you from a distance..

Did you know that cycles are extensions of our bodies…………cyclists cross all lines yellow, white you name it. They don’t follow any rules…..they cross along with pedestrians, enter No entry, pedal merrily on the wrong side of the road ………they are a law unto themselves.

Another interesting phenomenon to notice on our roads will be old men driving old cars and older scooters. They ride along happily……… a notch under 30 completely oblivious of the fact that others have deadlines to keep.

Traffic is at its chaotic best during peak hours………vehicles turn every which way ……..horns blare………tires screech…………share autos strike their own path ………..water lorries run amok brakeless………….and I in my cocooned comfort of my helmeted head pray to all Gods to save me from these mad drivers.

Touch wood……..no nicks or scratches………no bumps……….but loads of acrobatic stunts………escaping saliva projectile from buses………missing autos by nanoinches ………swerving around potholes and poop………bravely overtaking water lorries……..well I call this a Formula 4 adventure sport.
It would surely send your pulses racing………only to start all over again the next day.
