Today was a rather slow day. We had Indian Cultural Understand & Heritage, Indian Philosophy History & Religion, Introduction to Indian Dance Forms and Basic Hindi. Very very dry stuff, so I'll spare you the lecture, and blog about something else.
This post goes to Pa, who would like to know if the Suzuki Swifts here in Pune have been heavily modified and wondering how the traffic in Pune is like.
The answer is simply, NO. And the traffic here is slow-moving.
Blue Suzuki Swift.
Silver Suzuki Swift.
Suzuki that looks like a Swift.
It is rather impractical to modify the car because the traffic is heavy and one needs to jostle for space with so many other vehicles such as motorbikes (known as Two-wheelers here), Taxis, Auto Taxis, Buses, Lorries and such. All this may cause dents and in fact, most cars on the roads of Pune has scratches in one form or another.
Auto Taxi.
Lorry.
A Mahindra Lorry.
A Slightly Larger Auto Taxi.
Bus.
Traffic in Pune.
Sunset in Pune.
The Lorries are generally colourful.
One thing that I found really amusing are the motorbikes. In Thailand and Malaysia, kapchais rule the streets. Heck, even Batam is covered with cubs. But here in Pune, things are rather different. Hero Hondas rule the streets, and Bajaj/Piaggio Auto Taxis are their subsidiaries. I would say the two most popular bikes are the Hero Honda, and the Bajaj Pulsar.
Another thing I noticed is that most bikers have full-face helmets on. In Singapore, most riders do not generally wear them, except for riders with bigger bikes. Nevertheless,these helmets are nothing like the helmets that we usually see in a sense that they are lighter, and doesn't seem at all promising. heh. They are rather cheap, and seem to be made out of cheap plastic. It need not be strong I guess because traffic is generally heavy, and it is near impossible to hit 80km/h on the streets of Pune.
The Hero Honda.
Bikes lining up at a Traffic Light.
Skoda cars are quite rare.
MrWiseguy trying to be artistic.
So yeap, I'll be heading down to NGO (please don't ask me what NGO is. hehe. Cause i do not know) tomorrow morning at 7am! Gotta sleep now and get some shut eye kies! Keep the comments coming!

so did anyone take a video of all of u doing indian dance? that would be a sight to see.. lol.. kidding..
anyways, pls do keep on the updates okay? nice illustrations with the photos:)
Interesting info.. :)
NGO is non-government organisation. But it could mean something else over there. Do tell when you find out yeah..
Keep writing, Yat. It's good for the mind! :D
If they have ERP gantry like what we have back home maybe could improve the traffic congestions... slow traffic means less accident. singaporeans speed like hooligan...they love to horn as the Sri Lankan?
Hi Nurus,
Glad u like the sunset pic! I've got quite a few sunset pics and will keep them coming! Our school+hostel is about 12 stories high and classes are held in the same building.
And there is someone who took a video, but I haven't got it. Thanks for commenting Nurus! Keep visiting!
Wak Yana,
Yeap! Just found out that NGO is as what you described! hehehe. Wak yana smart la~
And just for you, I'm gonna keep writing! Keep commenting too kies! Keeps me motivated!
Ma,
They horn like nobody's business la. But sounding the horn has its advantages especially during overtaking. Indians horn whenever the want to overtake, and I think it is good practice, less the noise. :)
Thanks your coerage on their cars and motorcycles.Dahlan Zainuddin
