2 inches of life

Have you ever sat in a cab and half way through the journey wondered if you were in a street drag race ? Expected that the car will stop behind the car in front, but it kept going on…. squeezing into spaces you never expected a car to fit into. 

Have you ever driven through a city and not found a single car without any scratch or dents. seriously, not a single car.

Have you been scared of crossing a road (after having lived in asia all your life..) not because its a highway or the cars are really fast… but you are scared if these cars have any brake pads at all in case you were in their way…

Have you ever been on the road, driving at speeds of 50 – 60 kmph and above with other vehicles pass by you with 2 inches to spare… and it is not infrequent ….

I was the only one jumping in my seat in the car, while the world around me was completely at ease with their 2 inches of life….

Welcome to Cairo…. the driver said !!
