I try and empathise with cab and rickshaw drivers. I really, really do. I can't imagine what life for them is like on a regular basis, stuck as they are in traffic that drives most of us insane within a couple of hours.

I don't know what it feels like to constantly manoeuvre from one clogged part of the city to another, dodging corrupt policemen and irate drivers, trying to manage potholed streets that lead to an endless cycle of repairs, struggling to find a spot to park in, or stranded on highways without access to a public toilet because our taxes are diverted towards building statues in the sea instead. And so, I empathise.
