Direction Driving

"Keep on going straight. You will see a lot of roads in between but don't take them even though you might feel like." Seemed like he had read my friends mind! Just before we stopped to ask for directions from this gentleman, my friend was keen on taking a turn because he felt like it! But then we couldn't blame him. We were royally lost. We had no clue where we were heading. We did not have the postal address of the location; just a map which made no sense. So it was the directions of the people on the roads that we had to rely on. And follow these directions we did. Even though some of them were as vague as "Left right lete straight jao..." Well were we supposed to go straight or turn left and right and then go straight, or was the road itself a left-right curving one? No clue. We just followed our instincts and followed the roads we thought were the right ones. Only to realise that we had reached the other side of the town! Then after another round of enquiry, we were heading back on the road we had just come by. Wow! One more round of enquiry and we headed on a track which we hoped was the right one. After driving a few miles, we guessed that we were finally on the right track. After all we could see the railway line which was given on ‘that direction’ map. Finally on reaching the location, we realised that the place was probably a few kilometers away from the first turn we took. It's the ‘left-right lete jao's’ that saw us roaming on the streets of the unknown town for almost an hour!
