The Jalsa and Jilpa Snack edition

Last week, I was stuck in an unholy traffic jam near Madhya Kailash whose root cause, as I found out after trudging 100 metres in about 30 mins, was an auto trying to get through a small gap in the median to get to a point across the road ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRAFFIC. He also managed to dent the bumper of a Toyota Landcruiser in the process and took a further 10 minutes letting the Toyota driver know who the boss was. 

It struck me that Chennai autos can go anywhere in the world. 

On the Champs-Élysées

Frodo and Sam might have had apprehensions about sneaking through this gate, but..

And Gandalf should have really warned his troops about this as Helm’s Deep

Do the bulls of Pamplona understand who the real McKaalai is?

They can also alleviate the boredom of watching Pratibha Patil salute for hours

So we know the chap at Tiananmen square, but surely, have you wondered how get got there? A bit extra over the meter might’ve been charged, methinks, for the risk involved
