The Woes and Joy of getting a Driving Licence
36 Observations:

Wooaaah!!!! Didnt know there were so things to do in a test for a DL in India. I got mine almost 16 yrs ago[sheesh I feel so ancient] at the age of 18.
And it was so coool....just 1 round around the park...a left turn or something...no reverse, no kaccha road or whtever.
Times have sure changed huh!!!
CONGRATS, u must be so thrilled.....so when's the treat????? Heeheee I love to ask this question like as if I'm still in college;-P.

@Nance
Yeah..even I didnt know there was so much to do... it wasnt this way about 8 years ago either when my Mom took her test... but it was fun...thrilled at getting the licence...not so thrilled about driving in the Hyd traffic :P
Treat...whenever u want..but wherever I want :P
-
What? No Chai-paani and instructors talking decently? and an actual track layout and a test???
Are you still talking about India?
Neways, Congratulations Smriti! So who are you going to drive with first up?
I remember, when I bought my new car, every girl who used to sit in it for the first time, I used to tell her - "You're the first girl who's sitting on my passenger seat." :)

@Rakesh
Yeah...still India dude...My mom asked me the same question...you seem to be on the same wave length as her :P
And someone gave me that dialogue too...like Sallu miya said to Madz aunty in Hum Aapke Hain kaun- "Tum pehli ladki ho jo meri gaadi ki front seat par baithi hai"...Then I knew there were at least 4 such "firsts" :P
Driving with first up would be dad :)

Congratulations:),for me its a big feat, as I learned driving twice, even took the license but except for initial days, could never drive, so scared of traffic on the road that my H used to make fun of me...tum to jangal me chala sakti ho bus:)..jahan sadak par tumhaare siwa koi na ho:)

Smriti,
Congratulations. Relax. Do not be under tension while driving.
I was looking for reply to my comment in your previous post.

Guess what? I joined, got license, lost it, and I haven't applied for the new one. Its been 8 months already I lost my DL. I am scared to enter the RTO again. And I do not want to get it done via bribe also. I am stuck.
But you have yours and congratulations for that. Keep your DL safe. Happy Driving!!!

@Oxy turned Vee :P
My mom went through the same thing and I saw her turn the whole house upside down to get some proof to get a duplicate licence... Her purse had got stolen at a railway station and the licence went with it... So I guess I'm gonna be careful about it :)
wow!!! congratz... now u need to take the car out more often.. drive as much as you can, and enjoy the drive... (but let poor kimi drive his Ferrari - they looks like made for each other :-D )
