live dhoom scenes ........

kahi bhi mud ja..,kabhi bhi mud jao.. kaise bhi mud jaao..yeh raipur traffic hai..sab chalta hai..
this is the attitude of most of the raipur citizens. if u can drive on the roads of raipur and survive the traffic, then i bet u can drive in any nook and corner of the world. i have witnessed the worst raffic here..may be there are still more places to see in the world...but my stay in this place made me write this blog.
u drive on the roads with thoughts sprawling in ur mind.. Suddenly u r hit or overtaken by a rocket speed bike...as if the rider is in the bomb squad and going to disconnect it.
the rickshaw-walas are the sweetest ones here...they r hit by another rickshaw or a bicycle or by some car...they simply move on unless they r badly hit and never takeup a fight as hitting is their daily business.... so this shows that u can hit anyone on the road and simply proceed.
next to these are the mini busses...u see n-number of them moving on the roads..the conductors and the drivers shouting at their pitch to attract the passengers...these r real pushpaks of the city as they can accommodate any number of passengers ...the conductors have real talents.. u can see how they make u fit in 2 inches space...once u r inside, the bus starts off and stops in 10 ft distance waiting for some more passengers to board in the no-room bus.
then the competition start between the buses and u can feel as if u r in the flight and zooming off to the next city.
the autowalas are no exception, u feel the joy of rollercoaster by sitting inside these auto ricks as they can take turn in a narrow one-way traffic road as well.. koi kuch kehne wala thodi hai yaha pe?
i was surprised and received a little bit shock when my niece, four years old, said this by showing her hand to the car driver who was taking turn just infront of us in the wrong direction
....”yeh tu kaha mud aa raha hai”...
hmm so if u wanna test ur driving skills then u r always welcome to the city of traffic nuisance-
..kyonki yeh raipur ka traffic hai
