The Pune Driving Experience

I have a theory about driving in India: it's similar to a video game in that you have to weave around two wheelers (bikes and scooters), dogs, cows, pedestrians and even the odd tree embedded in the pavement. However, when I was jokingly told by my host brother that I could just drive myself to an early mornng event, I couldn't help but point out that unlike a video game, I only have one life.

Suprisingly though, after only a few days, I find myself comfortable on Indian roads *as a passenger*; I've come to learn that in driving, as well as every other aspect of the GSE experience, if I trust my hosts completely, I'm bound for nothing but wonderful experiences.

Based on the warm and thoughtful welcome we recived today from the Talegaon-Dabhade club, I think we an be assured that the tremendous experiences and wonderful hospitality we have received thus far will continue throughout the remainer of our journey.
