I remember that night Tsk. Used the toll bridge heading towards noida at around 6. as you enter it from the delhi side, there's a huge puddle on the right most lane. In my rush to be on time to noida, i used that lane to overtake a slower fiesta with the huge puddle well in mind. The way the car aquaplaned on the amount of water scared the **** out of me even though i was expecting it. Dont think i have ever held the steering wheel so tight before.

Then was heading back towards delhi on the NH-24 at around 11.30 in the night. This was when the thunder storm was in full force. Visibility was very low. Add to this, autorickshaws breaking down on all lanes of the road without any lights to make them visible. Did drive very cautiously (obviously had to) and never exceeded 40 in 3rd gear.

Guys, please do not ever attempt to push your luck. You never know when it may run out.
