Ready, Set, Go

Pray, and drive.  fast.

There seems to be a lack of traffic order in India....it's India wide, not just one city.  Don't let the stop lights fool you.  For the most part, they do obey most of the lights here in Cochin, but other cities not so much.  The Indian thought to driving is more of a "inch yourself out and just go" or they play the "I'm bigger than you" game.  Pick your poison.  Trying to cross these roads can be hazardous to our health, yet we've managed to survive.
 
This is an excerpt from an email that I got from Caitlin, who got it from Hema titled "10 ways to look like a local in Asia"  This is what they say about India.

Pray ... and run

"In Mumbai just cross the street. Just go. God will protect you. If you wait for cars to stop before you abandon the safety of the curb, you may never make it."
-- Siddharth Sikand, director/filmmaker


So true!
