Crossing the street in India is a thrill!
Daily I dodge, cars,
rickshaws, bicycles, motorbikes, people and dogs to get to Green Tara.
There are not designated crosswalks or traffic signals on my
way to the office so it is everyone for himself or herself. When I first
arrived, stepping off of the curb was a bit intimidating. I must have looked
strange standing at the corner convincing myself to step out into traffic but
now, after a few weeks, I require no convincing. I know I have a bit of an “I
dare you to hit me” attitude.
So far the attitude along with my one single rule: never step
out in front of a truck or a bus, have proven quite successful. :)
Isn't that rather like learning to merge onto the Interstate!
