It happens only in Bombay

Once again Im back after a big break from a regular series of blogging - Sorry about that guys.. I travelled for a bit and then landed in my home town of Bombay. Ah, the great city. Well, like most big cities one problem that Bombay has is definitely that of traffic and jams. Many of my non Indian friends can just not believe any tales that I tell them about Bombay and this is nothing but funny, because some of them are so commonplace here.

A recent incident that I heard of just cracked me up. College hours, you can obviously not find any parking spots - well like any other hour, just worse. So one of my friend drove and drove and drove around, but found no spot to park for an hour almost. Finally she was exhausted and was about to give up when she saw an open spot! She had to wait and think about it, but because she was so frustrated she decided to just park in there.

Ya sounds allright, but here is the funny part - the "parking spot" was outside the traffic police station, right under the no parking sign and behind the towing van !

And guess what - Nothing happened.

I mean someone did comment that one day you will return and will find a small hook connecting your car to the van in front of it, but that was about it. Oh ya, not to forget, once a cop saw her park and walk away so he called her, and she said Im really sorry, theres nothing around, ill juz be back in two hours, Im getting late for college, pleaseeee !

And what do I say ..... I guess, advantages of being a woman.. in addition to the wonders of Bombay .....
