The rules of the road in Hubli

After spending about a week and a half here in Hubli, I think I have finally figured out the two fundamental rules of the road.

1) Cows always have the right of way



2) If there is no cow present, YOU have the right of way. Its survival of the fittest here. I dont think Michael Schumacher would even be able to cut is as close as they do here.

We also have figured out how many adults you can fit into a rickshaw. The count is at 6 right now with Sagar, Taj, or I sitting up front with the driver and the rest of the group (4) in the back. Here is Sagar getting acquainted with a rickshaw driver.

Sag if you got little closer to the driver you could fit more people. The trick is to balance the weight.Remember the school children in Ahmadabad! and how the Rickshaw mis balanced and tumbled.
