Lol Rehaan.

That had me in splits. its another matter that there are not so many birds anymore like there used to b before. Blame it on the pollution, buildings, lack of trees, etc.
The thing abt the road complaining. Lol. that was another witty remark. maybe it wont complain immediately. But it does in the long run. if u are walking on a empty, you surely can feel the vibrations of a vehicle passing by on it. Vibrations = stress on the pillars and columns. So heavier the vehicle, more the stresses.
March 2004 issue of BSM has this very interesting debate between SUVs and cars. Try to grab a copy of it if u can. And maybe we can argue like them someday we happent to meet.
And i still think Sumo is worst thing u can have to drive around in a city like Bombay, compareable footprint and all. Its difficult to park it in tight spaces, its difficult to manouvere in narrow roads, atleast where i stay. You need to drive on the subarban roads at rush hour to know what i mean, with bikes, ricks, buses, tempos and what have you all struggling to get that same empty space on the road you have been eyeing for.
