The way DTC buses ply in Delhi is really interesting. The bus drivers think that they are first cousins of speedster Michael Schumacher. They drive so rashly, it seems as if they think that cars, trees and other such insignificant road furniture will simply jump out of their way…

Some might say that tradition holds no relevance in the modern day scenario. But, according to me, traditions lend us individuality. They are essential if we have to understand our past any better, because our present is the result of the past…

Delhi’s roads are probably the most notorious in the country. Traffic rules are violated liberally by motorists, and the blue line buses in the city are ambassadors of indiscipline on the road.
