Bhavanam,
after seeing your sales pitch above, i can now understand why you are such a successful business woman. :thumbsup. You can easily sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo.

hey Sats,

trust you to come with something so funny, even on a horribly boring topic like traffic jam. I haven't really seen that Vespa ad for me to comment but totally enjoyed your post and the hilarious Fb's that followed

Thanks a lot .

Oj da

I was :rotfl:rotfl at your reply.You SHOULD write A LOT, you know

Second that one whole-heartedly. On that note OJ-da, how about reviving that thread about Absji and KPJi etc. It was absolutely rollicking fun while it was going on.

Dear Viswa,

Dear Satchi,

I know patience and perseverance are two great qualities one develop when driving in Bangalore traffic. You have now listed many more of them. When you prefer to look at hoardings and the buses, I used to spend my time listening to music to calm my mind. I also used to watch a few who drive on the wrong side of the road to gain some momentum over others. I used to enjoy the capabilities of a few drivers who think quickly to find some shortcuts to escape the jam and quickly get away from the main traffic. I also used to enjoy the scooters making calculated move to go ahead of a few buses and big vehicles

This is one thing I enjoy doing - when all the vehicles are waiting at the red signal, if there is plenty of space between them, I just love weaving between them to get to the front and what I enjoy more is the look on the face of the drivers who have to stay put where they are because their cars can't get in through the gaps. :-D.

Whenever, the frustration took over and made me think that it was the traffic jam that was preventing me from spending more time with my family, I used to calm myself that it was much more important to live longer with the family than to spend more time every day.

Reminds me of some sign boards on the Jammu-Kashmir National Highway which read "Drive slow, your family needs you". :-D If only everyone thought so wisely like you, the roads would be saner places to be. I have never figured out vehicles which honk and race to overtake you only to go and stop at the next red signal where you eventually catch up with them at your own moderate speed. They gain nothing except wasting their own fuel.

Viswa

Haha,
Bamgaluru Traffic jams can be a real experience eh? You learn Kannada, learn about all sort of tempting offers and what not. In Delhi no one looks at hoardings. They look at the cars before them and curse (Mostly in colourful Punjabi. That way you learn punjabi easily by picking up the lovely expletives casting aspersions on one';s relationship with mother and sister).

I once used one very taken by one of those expletives used by a bus driver and was relating it to a relative!!!!! Of course at the age of 14 I was too young and naive to know what it meant and was told not to use it as it was very bad. Now I know what it meant and it was one that questioned the legitimacy of one's parents!!! :spin

Dear Satchi,

HAHA. learning kanada on the streets, watching ads, andletting yr mind flow eh! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WEll i too have been caught many a times, missing buses , standing at the bus stop,wishing oif they could make a few seats behind the bus, where u sit and watch the traffic, for example if i was on Banglore street bus on its backside,i could watch a flustered Satchi on her scooty eh ! And these seats could be cheap, for u are exposed to the elements too, but the bus can carry extra passengers at half the price of the normal ticket ?????

Superb one, cant stop laughing, yep so many things to do in the traffic, if u cannot escape a jam, might as well enjoy one eh !HAHA

Regards

kamal

Kamalji, that would not be a bad idea at all. We could at least have a good old chin wag, you on the open seat and me on my scooter and we could brew ideas for new snippets/blogs in the middle of the traffic jam. :-D

True Satchi.....Bangalore is the probably the worst when it comes to traffic jams. But learning kannada from number plates reminds me of my countless trips to the passport office where they announce your number in kannada. I have almost learnt 1-10.....ondu, eradu, mooru, nalaku, aidu....thanks to the passport office. Sometimes, waiting can result in knowledge enhancement !!

More than the traffic, it is the honking which bothers me. Thankfully after shifting from Bangalore, all that is past - happy to miss it !!

love,
kylie
