Picture this: a gangly teenager, yours truly, currently navigating the chaotic streets of India in a desperate attempt to learn how to drive before college. As I write this, I’m clutching the steering wheel for dear life, trying to decipher the mysteries of manual transmission while dodging everything from cows to cyclists.Every driving lesson feels like a scene from a slapstick comedy, with me constantly mistaking the accelerator for the brake and sending my instructor into a panic. I’m honking horns, swerving to avoid potholes, and generally making a spectacle of myself on the road.But hey, who needs a laugh track when you have Indian traffic as your soundtrack? Each session is a rollercoaster of hilarity and hijinks, from accidentally activating the windshield wipers instead of the turn signal to getting hopelessly lost in the labyrinth of streets.As college looms on the horizon, I can’t help but laugh at my own misadventures behind the wheel. Learning to drive is an ongoing comedy of errors, but it’s also a journey of self-discovery and growth. And who knows, maybe one day I’ll actually figure out how to parallel park without causing a scene. But until then, buckle up and enjoy the ride – the comedy show on wheels is far from over!
