Driving In India

In Just For Fun, Travel by David35 Comments

I first read this a few years ago. It struck me as funny. Then I began travelling in India. Now it’s either hilarious or terrifying, depending on my mood and whether or not I am in a vehicle at the time. I’m putting it here for the amusement of our Lumen Dei team and so I can find it again …

Part of that is simple deference to the client’s wishes as they complete …
