Escaping Traffic Jams
"Every five minutes the traffic would tremble - we'd move a foot - hope would rise - then the red lights would flash on the cars ahead of me, and we'd be stuck again.
Eveyone honked.
Every now and then, the various horns, each with its own pitch, blended into one continuous wail that sounded like a calf taken from its mother.
Fumes filled the air.
Wisps of blue exhaust glowed in front of every headlight; the exhaust grew so fat and thick it could not rise or escape, but spread horizontally, sluggish and glossy, making a kind of fog around us.
Matches were continually being struck - the drivers of autorickshaws lit cigarettes, adding tobacco pollution to petrol pollution."
(From "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga)
In the center of Varanasi traffic jams start right after sunrise then it is important for those who don't have patience to know many shortcuts in order to reach places in time...
