Four of us colleagues would till two years ago drive down from Green Park to our office at the Cyber City, Gurgaon. It was a hateful drive for all of us. There was no knowing how long the journey would take anyway, given Delhi’s crazy traffic flow. It was boring, tedious, stressful and tiring. One day at lunch while we were discussing our plight, we figured how foolish we were to not car pool. From the very next day we car-pooled to work. It was a wonderful change.
We would chat all the way, switch the chore of driving between us on a weekly basis, and of course save on fuel. Six months ago we started using a dedicated King Long bus to get to work from Vasant Vihar. We still car pool to IIT from where the bus starts. You need to be a bunch of flexible people to car pool. For instance there are days when three of us have to wait for one who is working late. One of us may need to detour. One of us may be on a tour and miss our chance. All this we had to be good humoured about. Indians are way to egotistic to think on these terms.
