I will remember it every time I start gritting my teeth in gridlocked traffic. The horns on the vehicles here (2-12 wheelers) also deserve a mention. I have often been startled by a loud truck horn, only to have a Kinetic Honda (are those still around?) or some such scooter zip past me while I recover from the aural assault. Hilarious post.

It does seem terribly wasteful of God to create us with terrible breathing and then create Art of Living to teach us the right way. Its sort of like selling a brand-new car with flat tires. But I guess the Art of Living guys implement the Fight Club rules - "Rule #1: You never talk about the Fight club". @litterateuse: For the Airport pickup, I think of the bright side. When I pick up some of our whinier "You never call, you don't care about me" relatives (which of course are mostly on Mrs. Neo's side), most of the whining is done before we reach home. And one of my favorite danglers is George W Bush's classic line - "This is the worst disaster to hit the US since I became President" (speaking about Hurricane Katrina) @Roshni:

Amusing enough that you drive an auto in trans. in India, but to actually give a *link* to manual transmission!! :O Yeah that's one reason I hate being in Bangalore when we visit. The time it takes to get to the airport to pick someone is the same as the time they take to ride to the airport, fly Pune-B'lore and wait for us to reach. Don't you just love free dangling modifiers? Now are the modifiers for free, or do they dangle freely? -g Chalk one up for Mrs. Neo from another “truly luddite woman”.

That is such fun that you actually asked those saintly guys at Art of Living that question!! LOVE it!! Yes, I guess GPS wouldn't work in India. I have been frequently told that the street I am looking for is just ahead of the small Ganesh temple in XYZ crossing and on the right of the cows sitting near it. HAHA!!
