Going Nuts

So I have had my Honda Civic for a month and a half now. In Delhi.

Surviving? Yes.

Driving in Delhi makes you want to blog. For those of you who have the writer’s block, go ahead and drive in Delhi. There is no way you can resist the temptation to blog if you do.

What most of Delhi prefers to do is to fly into a massive episode road rage. But we bloggers, we are more evolved - and we can blog while the rest of Delhi can only froth at their mouth and kill someone. Yay.

My last post here was a few months back. I posed a question to all my non-existent readers: Are there more idiots in Delhi than other cities? No one bothered to reply - I think everyone was out driving.

Anyway, last week something else happened here that further strengthened that notion. A couple in a Chevrolet Optra (You know, upper middle class, employed, statuswale couple) bumped into an Indica (lower class car, in case you don’t know) which had four guys inside (and at least one was drunk).

And so there was the normal Dilli muscle-flexing, and the Optra driver took flight. The Indica chased them. So focused were the Indicawale on the thrill of the chase that they did not notice the upper-class, high IQ couple had driven straight into the Greater Kailash police station compound. The Indica followed inside, gleeful that the Optra-couple was trapped inside. They jumped out and surrounded the Optra.

Dilli cops’ slogan goes - with you, for you, everywhere. Within the police station premises, they definitely were.

Moral of the story?

1: Yes, there are more idiots in Dilli. And it follows that no law can stop the idiot-criminal. He has to be able to comprehend that crime would him get into trouble, right?

2: More expensive cars may contain higher-IQ people. Do not mess with such cars.
