Avg. Speed - 5 kph.

There's a strike going on in Delhi. People don't have petrol anymore. I don't know what the reason is. I just know that there were only a few petrol pumps left with petrol. So the whole of Delhi was there to get that last drop. Unfortunately, one of them was on the way from my coaching to my home(which are 5 kms apart).

I was waiting for my mom to come. I was standing on the pavement and looking at the huge traffic jam on both the sides of the road. It was 8-00 pm then. My class is supposed to get over at 7-45 but my irritating Physics sir always takes extra 10 minutes. I think he likes to torture us by making us plead, asking him to end the class. So I was waiting and looking when my mom finally arrived at 8-10.

I was wearing and orange and blue sweatshirt with a hood at the back. My hood was on. I got into the car. And it took us 50 minutes (yes, 50 WHOLE minutes!) to get to the petrol pump. 2 kms in 50 minutes. Not bad. The most irritating part of that was each and every person, who was sitting in the car which came alongside us, looked at me. At least once. It was rare that a person would just look once and mind his business. Most of them looked again. One guy even took the pain of turning a full 180 degrees when he had overtaken us to look! That eventually ended after 50 minutes. After that we did not get any red light or speed breaker! It was 3 kms at 80 kph. And it was relieving.

Man, Delhi traffic can be quite frustrating.
