Until then, I had thought driving is an art. But our van driver showed us it's a science as well. At those narrow bends where the slightest miscalculation can knock us out of this world in a second, the way he maneuvered the vehicle, I thought these people have a sense of physics deeply inbuilt in them. And how many such bends!!! <br />A thought that these skills don't get remunerated as much did hurt. But his innocent smile made up for it and his loud Punjabi songs (without which he said he can't drive), eventually grew on all of us too. A sweet memory, that I cherish to this day, of the driver, his art or science - whatever one may call it and those loud songs. :) Shantalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251197087245816892noreply@blogger.com
