In the days when I travelled by rickshaws and autos, I would make a big show of lifting my arms adn plugging my ears with elbows sticking out at 180 degrees so that the drivers could take note of their pest-ness without me saying a word (in auto too, since all horny - i mean honky {actually could be the other thing too} - scooterwalas make a point to cock head almost inside the auto to check ANY woman passenger out). Now that I drive, I try make a show of pointing to the RED light, but have proved myself too dim-wittedly slow for it. Once, a man kept honking behind me a red light, so I thought I'd stick my hand out and point my index finger dramatically at the red light in super cool fashion. By the time I'd rolled the window down and extracted my hand with poised finger out of it to point at the light, it turnd green and I looked really stupid :) he must'v gone 'Women Drivers', I'm sure.Punky PJshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07133463930201938451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1119520959463646642005-06-23T15:32:00.000+05:302005-06-23T15:32:00.000+05:30Well, Rohit Wadhwaney definitely read the comment ...Well, Rohit Wadhwaney definitely read the comment and I am so sure the comment's by Vikram Thapa.

So there's no question of missing any comments. Go to your blog template settings, you can do the same thing quite easily there.<BR/><BR/>Ashanka: Thanks. My official line is that I write the long, analytical rants on books and movies only for myself. But I do still feel a slight tinge when no one comments on them. So always good to know that someone does read them. <BR/><BR/>J: Cars without horns might also mean fewer people - because of all those nervous breakdowns...Jabberwockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210195396120573794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1115495659626975562005-05-08T01:24:00.000+05:302005-05-08T01:24:00.000+05:30Why just delhi and bangalore?

The honking business I did not note, but the lane cutting - I am awaiting a piece on that and yes I will say you are putting your life on line with that experiment. Where are your pandus anyway? They are nowhere to be seen. <BR/>Random Observations: 1) in Delhi the scooters drive as if they are Schumachers!

Or should one asume that a blogger comes back to old posts to check for comments? (like a murderer coming back to the body or a tiger coming back to its maggot-ridden kill)<BR/><BR/>J.A.P.J.
