Bengaluru Traffic

First we have the autos. These have the mentality of a mouse: they don’t recognize the constraints of physical space of openings. If they can see past a gap, they will drive right on only to stop, because after all, limits exist!!

Then we have the Taxis. These have the #IAmRajnikant syndrome. For them the laws of physics dynamically adapt especially once they have blown the horn. You see, once the horn is blown, there is a force shield that appears around them and this makes them invincible! Not.

And then we have the motorcyclists. These actually are #RajnikantKeBaap, also known as #Neo. They bend the physical space to create localized worm-holes till they realize that it’s not the spoon that bends!!

Amidst all these superstars we have the buses and trucks. These chaps don’t have distinction between left and right. Turn right from the right lane? No, that would be too easy. These will turn right from the left lane. And when this happens, all the other superstars show their full potential!

The rest is magic!

Be Well Bengaluru… Till Next Time!
