Women and the art of driving
Have you ever seen a woman driving in Chennai and still be sane?
I am just being modest when I say, being sane! Chennaiites are renowned for their offbeat abusives when it comes to treating their fellow road-mates. Believe me, I have heard a lot of the un-parliamentary words in the past 3-4 years I have been a resident of this city. Chennai as a city is very orthodox and claims that it is a very safe city. Safe it is.
But when nobody ventures out after 9 out of their coccoons,where the hell will they find any trouble. Unless trouble is lurking anywhere near their bedrooms or outside their homes. Only then.
Coming back to the topic, women who brave the dare-devils on the Chennai roads should be given the President's award for bravery. They do need recognition for the fact that they are doing a commendable job of not getting home with a broken limb or missing eye, courtsey, one of the high flying bikers who think they are heroes aka Rajnikant!
Chennai as a city is very rude on the roads. To the extent that they rarely can bear the occasional digreesion by any of their road-mates. they call out names from their never-drying vocabulary when they have to hurl it on their fellow-women-roadmates.
So much for being a orthodox society, when the people cannot even respect their fellow mates.

irrespective of whether your current destination itself being home you still get to hear the omnipresent greeting of "veetle sollitu vandhutiya"
