I used to drive a lot until about five years ago when the traffic jams in the city became insane. Now I have a driver who is a big help especially with the parking because finding parking slots is so difficult in Mumbai.  Frankly, I don’t like driving in Mumbai any longer because there is no road etiquette and also because as Indians we tend to lack manners.

Nowadays, I drive only as a last resort, maybe around five times a year. Who wants to be stressed out by the time one reaches one’s destination? Besides, with  the driver taking control I can get so many work calls done during the commute — instead of honking and getting frustrated at the wheel.
