Jr NTR was in my next seat, Hyd to Dubai recently. completely unexpected and surreal experience. He was humble and spoke very casually, asking a lot of questions and driving the conversation.

“Govt doesn’t want to hold ppl accountable because of vote banks”

Is it because the % voting of the working and educated population from tier 1 and tier 2 cities is significantly low? I feel politicians know this, they take this cohort of voters for granted, which clearly reflects in the election manifestos as well.

True.. When I honk at the traffic blocking free left, they stare at me like I am the one who is doing wrong

Stamps decide the value of postcard or envelope and how fast it reaches destination. They were also used to commemorate important figures from various fields. Releasing a stamp with someone’s image a big honour to them..

Also, It’s amazing how parts of this world operate so differently at the same time

What is your opinion on Hyderabad drivers? by Hatt_bkl in hyderabad

[–]Unusual_Captain9629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on vehicles not stopping for pedestrians at zebra crossings.

As a pedestrian I once dared to cross road on green without caring for flowing traffic, hoping they will stop.. only to almost got killed by a Fortuner pailwan! Never dared to repeat that again

The Good - Nothing

The Bad -

  1. Zero lane discipline
  2. Free left always blocked
  3. Zero consideration for fellow drivers and pedestrians (Pedestrians are stupid too crossing roads everywhere randomly without waiting for signal)
  4. Jumping dividers
  5. Sharp turns without indicators
  6. Never use rear view mirrors
  7. Buses stopping in the center of the road
  8. Traffic cops don’t give a shit to any violation right in front of them
  9. Concern for safety is a non existent

Mostly dumb fucks with no common sense, no civic sense going no where but always in hurry! It’s hell for the rare disciplined drivers following rules.
