This Above All - Khushwant Singh (On Accidents & Hyderabad)

Account of an accident

I HAVE been driving cars since I was 12 years old. Those days there were very few cars on the roads.

I have driven cars in most countries of Europe, the USA and Canada. I never had an accident because I was a cautious driver who never took risks. At 85, I still drive my own car.

For the past few weeks I have been driving to Lodi Park every evening to take a stroll. My daughter or grand-daughter accompany me.

And coming to the issue of crap, you have no way of refuting that India has the largest number of "open air toilets" in the world. Do you???? Of course not!! So, having no way to refute that, and having no clue on how to change that, and having no courage to admit that, all that is left in your arsenal is name-calling. You are doing what just about any other idiot in your place would have done.
