Horse Power!

Posted on September 1, 2009

Horses in Front of my Car on the Gurgaon Roads
I mean I am used to cows on the road but while I was coming back today from work I had horses in front of my car! The horses were standing towards the other side initially of the narrow road and I thought I would pass. But they changed their mind, moved and squarely blocked my car. Now that I was stationary I thought I might as well use the cell phone to take a picture!

The vehicle behind me started honking and when I glanced in my rear view mirror the Toyota Qualis driver gestured that if I moved ahead the horses would move out. I was not willing to try that strategy. After pausing for a few more seconds the horses on their own decided to move. Now that they had been photographed they saw no point in blocking my way!

    you know, mridula, there seem to be more horses in bbay than Delhi.. almost every area has a garden where some horses are available for a ride… something i haven't seen in Delhi… so we are a lot more used to seeing horses.. and cows of course, are everywhere…

    Is this the Gurgaon near Delhi, which you are talking about? Have been there long back. Having the horses on the road must have freshened up your mind 🙂

    I know Sangfroid, I even paused but the choice was between a picture and no picture.
