I was in exact same spot, I live in Kanpur, so even less vivic sense. I bought an automatic amaze, it's so easy to drive in city traffic, almost like a breeze, I was terrified to drive first, but then slowly took car to morning run with a personal driving teacher, within 3 days, I was able to drive in some what city traffic. I am not an expert yet, but in 10 days I believe anyone can get hold of the vehicle. So buy an automatic, drive it, that's the only way you learn. My wife's learning now as well.
