My first impression of this 16,5 million inhabitants city is an explosive coctail of chaotic traffic, pollution, poverty and dirt. There are no traffic rules except sounding the horn constantly to be noticed! Although it might sound quite primitive driving, it apparently is really safe as accidents occur rarely. So it's really common to see next to a truck number plate the message "Horn OK please" in order to encourage honking to signal right or left, give way or overtake, practical right?

As soon as I arrived at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Bombay my driver Mr. Gaurav Kabre was waiting for me. So we set off immediately to Pune on a jeep and I could confirm right away that you need lots of courage to drive in Bombay.
