Thoughts You Have While Driving In Mumbai

Never been on the verge of death? Welcome to Mumbai roads.

1. First of all, the potholes

Hoping the holes will be filled by the next year is like waiting for the next Sherlock episode: probably not going to happen but it'll kill you anyway.

2. Driving in the rain

Driving in the Mumbai rains is a constant debate between trying to make it home or just drown yourself in the floods.

3. When you reach the green signal and it turns red

HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME AUTOMATED AND ABSOLUTELY UNBIASED SYSTEM? I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING

4. Watching the guy next to you breaking that signal

We will wait for 3 hours in line for a college pronite but the signal is really testing your patience. CHILL OUT, MAN.

5. Contemplating whether it's worth it

'Agar tera dost naale mein kudega toh tu bhi jaayega kya uske peeche?'

'Par woh mera dost nahi hai'

6. Feeling like a boss as you drift past the losers obeying the rules

You press the accelerator and feel like you're Vin Diesel.

7. Promptly getting caught by the traffic dada

....and the ride promptly ends as you mentally tell yourself 'CHOPPPPPP HUA TERA'

8. Rolling down your window and looking at the cop with your best puppy eyes

All the Marathi you know will promptly come falling out punctuated with 'Bhau, bhau, please bhau'

9. Having an intense staring match with the guy who just cut you off

*trying to avoid blinking for 53 minutes straight*

10. How you feel driving on the Sea-Link

There's nothing like that stretch of the road and the sea and a completely useless 80kmph speed limit
