Having lived for 2 years in the US, I understand the many frustrations of encountering traffic in india. I came back in 2002 and for 2 years didn't even try to drive more than once a week, the traffic, the pollution all irritated me to no end.
In India, flyovers are built by those connected to the bureaucrats. Don't ask me how, but somehow they are. In malaysia, the govt devised the system that they divided different parts of the new highway construction and gave it to companies from japan, korea, malaysia... National pride came into the picture and companies raced to finish their parts of project. Work went on 24 hours a day, in 3 shifts. What is the case in India? The anand rao circle flyover took god knows what, 3 years? That too for a lousy length. The company that built it worked 8 hours a day and was more interested in shoring up its share price than doing a fast efficient job. This same company is constructing a few hotel projects in the mid-east and it racing against the clock there...
One has so many close shaves in India that you tend to redefine what a close shave is when compared to one in the US.
