Schizophrenia

I have always been astonished by the traffic in India, I used to say "If you can drive in India you can drive anywhere in the world". An upcoming company has taken this aphorism of mine and made it their slogan. "Drive Over Pvt Ltd" has added Driving lessons to the list of things, which are being outsourced to India. Western world is facing a big challenge of traffic, as number of vehicles is increasing at a high pace. The roads are becoming smaller compared to the size that is required for such traffic. Bhulwinder Singh, who used to be a truck driver realized this as an opportunity and started "Drive Over". Indian drivers have been fighting with this problem for long and they have the experience to handle it. So why not sell this expertise and teach western world how to drive in a limited space. The lessons in his driving school include "how to fit 8 cars in a 2 lane road?" and "how to overtake on a single lane road?"

Indian traffic signals don't have cameras to take pictures of traffic offenders. 5 years ago a commission was created to do the feasibility study of installing cameras on traffic signals of metros. The government allocated a budget for installing cameras. Cameras were installed but not on traffic signals but in the public parks and gardens. When I first saw these cameras I was impressed with how India is becoming tech savvy. But when I didn't see the cameras on traffic signals, I was surprised! Why will they put cameras on public places but not on traffic signals? After some investigation I found out that the cameras in the public places are not for security but to catch the offenders of the "kissing in public" law. As the fine of kissing in public is much more than any traffic offence, the commission decided to put up the cameras to catch its offenders. They concluded that the fine money collected using these cameras would be much more than that collected with traffic signal cameras.
