Mumbai takes to Left

What is this fetish we have? Anyone driving through lanes of Mumbai (I wouldn’t call them roads), would notice this. We Mumbaikars can not & do not wait. We dont let the vehicle in front go past.. its a race, to beat the traffic, pollution, time, others and mostly ourselves.

Seems like vehicles who have perched themselves on the right lanes are morons.. coz you always have that devious left lane to get into and go past the rest.. and once in the left lane, you move, faster than the rest. The triumph experienced is that of finding yourself anew.. try this out!! Suddenly you feel you are moving at a jet speed.. but hold! the sustained results are not always the same, most often than not, a few feet down the road, you’d find your right lane vehicle partners queuing up or rather cozying up with you.. howzzat?? Truly, you feel disdained for all the maneuvering skills you showed perching your vehicle on the leftest lane..

Yet, day after day I notice scores of vehicle mates jostling for that little left lane space through which they want to jet speed into their day. I follow these left laners
