Driving. Wow. I don't think I can really describe driving around India. Of course, I don't partake in such things as to operating a motorized vehicle because: A.) It's against the program rules. B.) It's against Indian Law to drive a motorized vehicle if you are under 18(though kids do anyway, because that is their only mode of transportation.) C.) It's absolutely crazy driving here.
They honk to notify the person in front of them that they are passing. It's really crazy. Nobody signals here, and there are no traffic lights, if there were, people would not abide by them anyway. Scooters and motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic, while bicycles are doing the same, while these things called rickshaws are zooming around, speeding, trying to transport their customer. Yeah, chaotic.
What noises those horns make too! Wow! So colorful, each car has it's individual honking personality, not an over exaggeration either. It's kind of fun to close your eyes and listen.
Even when cars back up, they have these cute little melodies that are being played, that way people know that there is something coming. It's funny. [ex. the Titanic Theme, yes, I have heard it being played while a car is backing up.]
I was just looking at how some transport cargo trucks are all so colorfully painted, it's like fun art. Even some tarps that cover the trucks are cool looking.
I have this urge to get together 50 of these trucks,, stand in front of them at a conductors stand with a baton, and conduct a whole musical piece with all their horns. Not only will it be pleasing to the ear, it would also be visually stimulating as well! Just think about it! =D
Haha, me and my wild imagination. Thought I would share this little fun snipet.
Hope all is well at home.
