Pune is notorious for it's "scarce" traffic...and the "wonderful" driving sense of it's citizens...and like any other almost-metro city, it retains the image very well.
So here are some pointers on how to drive / ride in the city...and live to tell about it! :P
1. Have a kickass bike..
Ok. Really? This is what u got? :|
more like >>>>
yeah! Now you are talking!
2. Don't give a SHIT about other people on the road.
Act as if u own the road. And the footpath. And the dividers too. :P
3. Curse at least once every 4 minutes at a random rider/ driver...asking them if they think the road belongs to their father (s) :P
4. Get training in cross-country riding...it is a MUST , since u r driving on potholes, with some patches of roads in between....
5. Grow a kick-ass beard and have a constant angry look on your face. Somewhat like this >>
6. If any one cuts your path wrongly, give people the "rock" look...
Ok u might not have d muscles...but yeah...
7. now u will ask what bout d gals?
well my dear female readers...you have been granted unlimited power to accelerate / brake / turn / ram into other vehicles...as per your fancy. we have officially declared female drivers / riders in pune a "chalta-firta" accident zone. :P
since u have gotten the idea from the title, this is the first part of many in this series...
ur contributions on the topic of discussion are welcome ;)
NjoY LyF guys! :D
