In love with chaos






Just returned from vacation.  Yes it was over one month this time & full of action.  We had to shift our base from Mumbai to Chennai and did not feel as to how the time flied past!

Mumbai has some orderliness in a state of disorderly growth!  Chennai is different.  Chennai is chaotic!  Driving a vehicle, I would stick to the lane discipline only to look stupid among other road users.  The other day we had hired a taxi and the taxi driver happened to be one who had worked in Gulf.  He was narrating his experience as to how he was caught and jailed for jumping red signal, whereas in Chennai people tend to stop only when the green signal flashes!

I observed  traffic in Chennai to be interestingly notorious!  All two way roads have become 'no way' and one way roads have become 'all ways'!

Initially I was getting frustrated but soon became used to it and even started loving it!  May be in a place where petrol is expensive than any edible oil, after all, you should only thank that you can just turn your vehicle anywhere and everywhere to head for your destination, no matter if there is a signal or it is a way or no way!

The other day, on TV education show, some one was explaining what  entropy is, which is known to represent a degree of disorder or randomness.  Any fluid will flow faster from one place to another where entropy is more.

So also, we moved from Mumbai to Chennai which is having high degree of entropy only to find ourselves in love with chaos!
