It feels great to be at war almost every day in your life. Especially, because there is a twist in this battle, they come to knock you down from all possible directions and you are not supposed to attack them but only try and save yourself. If you do try to knock them or say by mistake you banged one of them consequences are severe.
It’s a war where you are completely by yourself. My battle lasts for 30 mins and I love these 30 mins of my day. In this half an hour I forget, I have a husband, a kid and a job. I am only focused on numbers, as to how many blows I got saved from.
They say women are never good at this but it feels great when opposite sex compliments you for your skills. Yes, a few days back I had a company when I started off for the battle, he was a silent spectator watching me from behind and when time came to depart our ways, he left saying “you really have very good driving skills. I have never seen a woman driving with such an expertise”. “Woman” “Expertise”, excuse me there are many things we women are good at, it’s just that men do not wish to see or acknowledge it. But before I could say anything I heard a honk and so decided to ignore the gentleman.
You do need expertise to drive in Pune, particularly at Hinjewadi. Those who are in Pune and are travelling to Hinjewadi would surely agree that driving in these lanes is never less than a war… I prefer calling myself an opportunist driver, wherever you find a gap be the first one to squeeze in. If you lose it there would be atleast 4 cars, 3 six sitters, a bus and half a dozen of two wheelers honking and fuming at you…
For now happy and safe driving..!
