Driving of a Busy Mind On a Busy Road

One hand on steering
The other hand steering beloved's knee,
One ear on cell phone,
The other ear listening to loud music,
One foot on accelerator,
The other on the brake.

Eyes on female pedestrians,
If a waving hand is seen for a lift
Stop the car, pile up freely
The more, the merrier
Conversation with someone in the car
Well I declare, welcome to India!

Damn!! That brought back memories. Visited India in the '70's. I can only imagine it is more chaotic now. Enjoyed the trip.

Quite a funny amusing write Dr. Ram describing the wonders of the typical driving pleasure of India. If someone can drive in different cities of India he/she can drive anything on any planet without any problem. My best wishes for your contest. Love and best wishes always..Ravindra K Kapoor

Here we have trees, deer and dirt roads. I drive 35 miles one way to work and never see another car, or any of them distracting female pedestrians. Good luck in the contest :) hugs
