Ordered processing

Try this cooking method with your next recipe. First boil everything (I mean, everything). then, serve it in the serving bowl. And then take the kitchen scissors and chop it up into bite size pieces. Note the grimace your face just shrank into. Or try this method for brushing your teeth. How about you apply the toothpaste to your arm, use the brush on your eyelids... won't clean the damn pearlies, will it?

So, why do people drive in exactly that fashion? Who am I pointing at? You know who you are. Yesterday, I sat with a chap who turned more than one corner on the brake, throttle and the steering at the same time. Another chap I'm familiar with sometimes is stomping on all three pedals in his car at the same time. And yanking about on the wheel for good measure too. And then there are the auto guys. They outrun their own headlamps, willingingly bash through the worst of the stuff and seem perfectly content to have their mounts collapse around them.

It strikes me as strange that you'd something for a living and do such a bad, bad job of it. That you wouldn't take any pride at all in your own breadwinning. Sad.

if it weren't for all the bribery and all, i'm guessing around 70-80 % of the current "drivers" in mumbai are not even close to "road-worthy"
