I cant even tell you the expletives i let lose!!!! People in cars only have problems.. who stroll on main roads thinking its a walkway constructed only for them. Phew sorry for long comment. Roads in Delhi get me all emotional.. the ones in Noida too!!!Janakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068622582534965333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1154928524107627042006-08-07T10:58:00.000+05:302006-08-07T10:58:00.000+05:30This is beside the point, but it is very important...This is beside the point, but it is very important as a pedestrian <I>not</I> to assume that everybody drives in the correct side of the road, especially in Bangalore.

How on earth is someone supposed to cross? And cross you have to because you'll only get an auto from the other side.

I'm particularly amazed by a seemingly growing tendency for pedestarians to just walk out onto the road with their hand extended, assuming you'll stop for them, never mind what speed you're going at or whether physics will allow you brake in time. Someone should tell these people that the point of looking both right and left before you cross is to not step forward if you see traffic coming. (though to be fair, that's probably because pedestarian crossings either don't exist or are not paid attention to).<BR/><BR/>Loved the Hitchcock connection though.Falstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791162324919462038noreply@blogger.com
