This is the counterpoint to something I saw in Bangalore last summer: in the endless traffic jam of Bangalore streets, riding in an autorickshaw, we saw up ahead of us another autorickshaw that had broken down and was being pulled along by yet another autorickshaw—from the crook of the 3rd driver’s ankle. Slowly the little duo maneuvered through the multiple lanes of cars, buses, cows, peddlers, etc. for at least a mile. Awe-inspiring and hilarious at the same time.
