Can you believe that there roam people on Delhi roads with a streak of utalitarianism?!
First come these folks on scooter, out for catching some morning breeze. They make their mornings worth by helping out the cart and rickshaw pullers on long/steep stretches - by pushing their carts with their left foot, while having their scooters on full throttle; the carts soon acquire great velocities and hurtle down the empty roads. One such person I came across was bent on helping two at a time, time sharing thier pushes.
Then is the tacit agreement between auto-rickshaw drivers and handicaps on wheelchairs. Detailing one such sighting: the auto-rickshaw slows down for a wheelchair-bound-man on the Delhi-Ghaziabad highway, and after the man has a good hold of the machine, they speed away. The handicap finally lets go of the auto-rickshaw when his wheelchair exceeds 60kmph, and then cruises along for as long as the speed holds. Cyclists and motorcyclists, unaware of this mode of acquiring velocity, gawk at the handicap as he overtakes them. The handicap runs out of speed, and looks back for any approaching auto-rickshaws; his face a testament to the taste of speed he's just had. I cycle past him, reciprocating his spirit.
