I drove from Gaya to Siliguri to Bhutan.
Here are some interesting observations, for fun:

1. Traffic rule is optional. Honking is mandatory.
2. Cows are king. Goats are deputy boss.
3. Everyone honks, but no one listens.
4. Nobody gives way to anybody. Everyone is equal.
5. Every space is a road. Or a parking.
6. Driving is taken like a serious contest. The tension of the faces is real.
7. Bigger the vehicle, more aggressive is the driver.
8. Trucks are dangerous. Chicken, even more.
9. Zebra crossing is a waste of paint.
10. Trucks are anchored on the fast lane – by default.

There are many good things too.

1. There is chaotic order, which is like our own life.
2. In over 3000 km in over a week, I saw only one trafic accident.
3. If you ask one person for direction, three show up to help you.
4. Some of the best drivers got be in India. They are safe and precise upto a few millimetre.
5. Trust the locals, not Google Map.
6. New highways are smooth and superb. Some are world-class.
7. Best part of road trips in India is having tea on clay cups for Rs.5. You get to keep the cups as souvenirs.
8. If you violate a traffic light, the locals are on your side.
9. If you are in trouble, whole village stops to help.
10. Finally, there is free non-stop entertainment, such as overloaded trucks, family of five plus maid on one bike smiling and waving at you, cars carrying mattresses and pipes on the carrier plus a passenger on top.

Recommendation:

Do a driving pilgrimage to India with your friends. The experience and the memories can be unforgettable. You will see the real soul of India among the simple village folks.
