Somebody needs to let Google know that any efforts towards mapping out Indian roads is a gigantic waste of time. Ditto for TomTom/Garmin or any other GPS device maker that has dreams of selling their wares to the burgeoning indian middle class. As for any fancy app for the iphone that can pinpoint the user's location, i think they made a movie for that. Its called "Chak De India" which approximately translates into (only in my own dictionary i must hasten to add) as "Chuck it kindly please".
The reason i can authoritatively state this is because, through careful empirical observation on this trip, plus flashbacks from my past experiences(just like in bollywood movies....thats how my memory works), the evidence is inescapable.
Everybody knows the way in India. Or to be more precise,
Every living person in India you dont know (a stranger) more likely than not will always be able to give precise directions to you, if you more likely than not look like you are lost and are seeking directions from them.
In other words. Everybody knows the way in India.
You just have to ask Ramu.
Note for the reader:
Who is Ramu you may ask?
Some of the experiences i am going to write about are easier to digest when you are visualizing a character called "Ramu". Otherwise you will find yourself constantly shaking your head thinking, "How could (Insert my name here) be so stupid?".
Ramu on the other hand...no justifications are needed for his experiences. He is after all a "Ramu".
