Indian life

Life in India is never boring. There is something happening somewhere all the time. The activities which are happening in the public places usually overwhelm the senses at times. But one thing which is quiet noticeable in the Indian cities are animals and birds living along with people. People are so used to them that they usually just around them, provided that their is enough space. But these stray animals cause their share of problems on the road. A lot of accidents are caused because of them. The small vendors who usually occupy the strategic spots in the main shopping areas or busy intersections are always seen advertising their wares at the top of their voice. In these places, if you are skilled enough you can strike a great bargain. But the rush hours is simply maddening. It simply drives me so crazy. At one time I really used to enjoy driving. But these days, the number of vehicles on the road have multiplied manifolds, yet not many roads have been widened. this has led to a lot of congestion, especially at the intersections. Therefore, I try to avoid driving as much as possible, unless of course there is manageable amount of traffic on the road.
