y to be unleashed against a direct threat. In canine terms, they are Rottweilers and Dobermans,cheap toms shoes. On Delhi’s streets, they are the drivers of Audi Q7s, Toyota Fortuners, and Range Rovers.They are far worse than the top pedigrees like BMWs and Mercedes (German shepherds), which at least show the odd sign of good, if haughty, behavior,toms outlet. Or maybe it s their training. In contrast, these lunks are so unpleasant, so inappropriate, so crass that they are not even worth engaging. Not that I could, in my chugging diesel tractor.I no longer have the satisfaction of barking obscenities and chasing tails on the flyovers. Instead, my inner dog is left growling questions that don’t just go unanswered, they don’t even get heard. Yesterday, it was: How can you spend $100,000 on a car and not be able to drive? Today: “Are you even housebroken?”Paul Beckett is the WSJ’s South Asia bureau chief. Follow him and India Real Time on Twitter @paulwsj and @indiarealtime.

A bit of interesting American slang that I had to look up but pretty much describes how games are played on Delhi s roads. I love my Wagon R, but now a days feel a bit defeated in life with the new $150k beasts I see on the roads that I have no hopes of matching. While the author by way of his foreign citizenship and consular protection in the event of anything bad happening on the roads has some hope of redressal, the average Indian guy on the road has no recourse when confronted by the sons of bureaucrats and politicians who drive these menacing beasts. While I enjoy my occasional game , I step away quickly not knowing whose spoiled brat behind the wheel might just bring immense grief to me in a country where there is no rule of law for the average citizen. 12:12 pm July 20, 2012 Sachi Mohanty wrote: Funny.I suppose the dog metaphors would be way more familiar generally speaking to an American audience,tomsoutletsalecheap.com.What are my most memorable experiences after driving my bike on Delhi/Gurgaon roads for 5 years?May be top of the line has to be the one time when I drove right into a bike cross-wise that I hadn t seen.I was driving on the left side and parallel to a car and accelerating and the guy who came from my right side managed to cross the road in front of the car and then *BANG*I got thrown clear of the bike. No fractures. Only somewhat painful stitches on my lips and tongue.Lesson: Wear a good helmet it might save your life.2nd most fun incident: I take delivery of my brand-new bike from Delhi showroom. I am driving it to Faridabad. I am at a read light between a bus and a Maruti 800. The bus cuts right and the bike is squeezed into the car s windshield breaking it.LOL India Real Time offers quick analysis and insights into the broad range of developments in business, markets, the economy, politics, culture, spor
