Visit Chennai......God forbid, you have an encounter with a Chennai city cop.....!!....i got pulled over once when i was there....the cop wanted me to take a breathalyzer test....any US driver's licence is valid in India, so that part was ok....the sad part was that i was reeking of spirits!!...i said i was from the US etc......he told me he didn't give a s*it!!...he let me off with a warning after making me stand around for about 10 min!....no bribery in Chennai , folks!...they have fast Hyundai Accent police cars there now.....they'll get you....

Or you can take a 'luxury coach', with tv screens blaring bollywood movies through the night......my friend took a bus like this from Delhi to Jaipur recently....he's American, not desi....i wish i was there to see his expression while on the bus!!...There's lots to see and do in Abdul Kalam's India...!!

India shows how u can clean old things and enjoy them .. Pakistan should also do this instead of buying all imported stuff ....
about skoda ... i sat in skoda octiva when i was in India .. it was preety smooth and soundless .. yet it was diesel .... it was amazing ... skoda is chech republic car .. or whatever u call that country.
yes they really do clean their country unlike us who hire koreans to do our job ..
