Never Mind the Bullocks

One Girl`s 10,000km Adventure Around India in the World`s Cheapest Car.What does it take for one woman to drive 10,000 km around India – a land where bullock carts vie for space with SUVs on eight-lane super-highways, where GPS systems fail to give directions, and where a blessing from the gods is considered better road insurance than safer driving? As Vanessa Able learnt, all it takes is a little bit of gumption, a whole lot of patience, and the world`s cheapest car – the Tata Nano. From the gleaming towers of Mumbai to the badlands of Hampi, the croissants of Pondicherry and all the way down and back round again, Vanessa`s little yellow Nano takes her on a voyage of discovery. En route, she learns the unwritten rules of horn and full-beam etiquette, of vehicle pecking order, and what to do when the SH11T hits the fan. She also finds love, in the form of red-headed American, and occasional reluctant co-driver, Thor. Richly entertaining, Never Mind the Bullocks is an adventure unlike any other. Filled with wisdom gleaned from the dusty highways – where `speed thrills but kills` – it is an ode to the road, and to the unparalleled, often chaotic experience that is driving in India.
