To start with, it was not that bad..!! I have taken almost 10 hours of driving lessons at Bangalore and now I feel a litle confident that I may be able to drive car even in bad traffic (well I could have mentioned Bangalore traffic but both are one and the same). My sweet little Black baby (Swift LDi) is doing good and I think I will be able to drive it okie. Thanks to the “L” sign on my car - I think that kinda scared people driving nearby so it was kind of easy for me to drive.

Except for one Cycle-Wala (a school going kid driving cycle and all of a sudden thought to come infront of me) and bus-wala (who {in response to a person asking bus to stop} came to left most lane from the right most lane within seconds) everything was kind of smooth. I still have almost 5 hours of training left, I am planning to take car into the city (Majestic, J C Road, etc) during that time.

My home is like 18 km away from office and on my Hodibaba (bike) takes around 35-45 minutes in traffic. Today when I was driving car it took me 50 minutes to reach office+. I think its very good given that today was my first day and I have pass Madiwala sabji mandi (that is a the most traffiked place) + heavily traffiked Daily Circle and all. Thanks to long streches at Outer Ring Road that covers up for other traffiked streches.

Cheers,
