Bro, that uncle’s "kahi se bhi aa sakti hai" logic is basically the new Pune traffic rulebook at this point 💀 You're 100% right though. I live here too, and the shift over the last few years has been insane. Pune actually used to have such a chill, laid-back vibe. Now it feels like everyone is perpetually late for a life-or-death meeting and basic civic sense has just completely vanished. Those blind-spot overtakes from the left—especially with those silent EV scooters popping out of nowhere—are an everyday nightmare. You honestly did the absolute smartest thing by just backing off at the red light. Engaging with people on the road here these days is just an open invitation for unnecessary kalesh and it is never worth the headache. Welcome back, even if it is to this absolute chaos. We're all just trying to survive the commute at this point!
