Canada and the US driving is dull enough to make one sleepy, not that i m complaining. I think I just pulled a muscle laughing…:D
Let me know if you wish to experience authentic Indian village life i could hook you up with some family i have in Haryana(few hrs drive from delhi).

btw, love your blog and your observations..as an indian living in the US.. I can totally understand the idiosyncracies that you point out…i took me year to figure out that local weather is more important than any other world event in the US!

Getting out of the city was worse, not better. Having ridden a motorcycle in NYC for 7 years, I thought I had a handle on aggressive driving. You couldn’t pay me to ride in the Desh. Love this blog by the way.

I am always afraid I might become a “Road Parantha” – hence I am a master at ” Defensive Driving” – when in India. (you have to think that you are in a war zone & all are out to attack you – ;-) )

That said, having lived in India for 25 years – I have sometimes indulged (in the past) in “Maniacal Driving” – looking back I shudder to think – that i actually survived that road weaving, constant honking, mad as a hatter driving binges.

I guess I was lucky!

6 ft is huge distance, two bikes and one dog can pass through it comfortably ;)
