Words of driving wisdom from the West Bengal department of transportation. The ride to Darjeeling is peppered with numerous maxims all equally insightful. Such as, “Slow has four letters, so does life. Speed has five letters, so does death.” and “Donate blood in a blood bank not on this road.” and the delightfully gender-sensitive, “Stop gossiping. Let him drive.” Please remember this wise counsel and drive accordingly.
