Vanity or insanity


One of Delhi's endearing features is the ambition shown by motorcyclists. What fits in a car must be able to fit on a bike. Hence whole families ride around town on the back of a scooter - though shockingly the (generally male) driver wears the only helmet leaving wife and infant children to ride the bumps for dear life. And it is not unusual to see large packages riding on the laps of drivers as they weave in and out of traffic. But this takes the cake - surely wishing decapitation on himself or passing pedestrians. Wacko!
