This blog documents the experiences of the Fisher family in India during the Spring 2008 semester. The family was headquartered in Bangalore, where Tim spent his sabbatical leave (at the J. Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research), and they traveled to various other parts of India during their stay.

Driving in B'lore rush hour
I finally had a dream come true by driving a car in Bangalore yesterday. The vehicle was a Maruti 800 (0.8 L displacement engine) and was loaned to me by my friend Prof. Umesh Waghmare. The right-side driver compartment and left-handed stick shift took some getting used to, but before long, I was weaving and honking along with the rest of the traffic. I have some video evidence of this event that I'll try to post soon.
