Re: Funny Incidents - Can happen only in India

Came across this video on the Twitter, using multiple tractors to tow heavy sugarcane trolleys out of the fields is not uncommon in our area but these guys take the cake. New Holland 3630 is a very popular tractor as its has the most preferred combination of pulling power and the speed. These trolleys are upto 22 feet long and could be carrying upto 25 tonnes on a single axle. At times these guys cart these trolleys upto 150-200 kms to the sugarcane mill, its a sight to see tractors labouring, trying to climb a standard ramp on the highway which one doesn't even notice in a modern car. Now don't ask me what they do to the traffic or the road but that's how it goes.

Re: Funny Incidents - Can happen only in India

was walking along the OMR IT highway service road and noticed an Alto coming zigzag on the service road. Sensed danger and immediately jumped to a safe spot. When the car reached close, peeped in to see what is going on. There was a lady driving the car, she had fresh mehendi applied on her left hand and was trying to slot the gear using the back of her hand. Wish somebody told her about automatic transmission.

Received on WhatsApp. Probably even the engineers wouldn't have thought of this use case.

Actually, this is not specific to India. When I first bought a mattress in USA, I was under the impression that they will deliver. Instead, the sales manager asks me to get the car near the rear entrance. Confused, and yet I drive up there. There I saw many customer cars are being loaded with their new mattresses on the roof. If the mattress size is single/twin, it is always carried on the roof of the car. The shop ensured it is secured nicely with nylon ropes. And that is how I carried mattresses many times during my stay in USA.

This picture has been posted before, and I replied that I have carried such long loads in Britain, eg returning from one of the DIY Superstores.

Re: Funny Incidents - Can happen only in India

I was travelling to Thrissur from Trivandrum by Vandebharat express. At Kottayam, an elderly gentleman got in. Two guys were with him to see him off, one was helping with luggage(not much just a small bag) and the other guy was making small talk. This train halts at stations only for a very short time(there is an announcement saying "doors are closing" but not much time between announcement and actual closing of the doors), by the time they realized what was happening the train had picked up speed. The TTE came and was unhappy about two ticketless travelers(was polite though) and said fine for 2 people would be around 5k. Eventually they settled for less but the two people could get down only in Ernakulam (a good 70KM from where they boarded).

Around the launch time of this train, in news there was mention of an auto driver (I suppose at Ernakulam station) who got on to the train to check the same and eventually got stuck inside the train when doors closed.

Re: Funny Incidents - Can happen only in India



Gentleman in the Jazz rolled back his car while waiting at the signal and then gets down and blames the guy at the back for rear ending him. In the video you will see the Jazz owner gesticulating to his car. Every time he points to his car he goes "what the hell" at the rear car owner .

Since there was no damage to any car and I wanted to see the comedy show from the front seat as it happened I chose not to intervene. The guy after doing his performance drives off in peace. If it had gone on maybe I could have said something as I had it on camera but in such a minor case I decide to keep my sanity for myself.
