Adulations of a New Driver

Oh what a joy it is to drive on these pristine Delhi roads.

Every road is filled with bumps and cracks that jiggle you from head to toe. Even an hour in the gym can’t work out your muscles as well as riding over a hole in the ground does. It’s true exercise, from head to toe, not to mention the mind numbing effect it has on your nerves.

Mental exercise is another brilliant side effect of fiving here. Ever day you search your vocabulary to find new abuses that you can level at your fellow drivers. Who by the way, are the salt of the earth. Cutting lanes, incessant honking and exhibition of road rage are just some of the qualities that make them a joy to have around. What can I say, they fill my life with such adventure.

And how can I forget the sheer brilliance of the municipalities that actually construct our roads. Flyovers that stop the flow of traffic rather than ease it, incomplete construction sites that never fail to live up to their promise of jamming the roads… ah! What saints!

As a new driver, I can safely say that my days and dreams are filled with my driving adventures. This tribute was indeed well deserved.
What do you think?
