"Life in the fast lane" is true for Bombay in some ways [metaphorically], but completely impossible in reality - traffic is crawling at 20 kmph all the time, wherever you are, and after a while you give up on planning, re-planning, and calculating which direction the rush hour is going towards. Of course like everyone else, you never completely give up. And still invest in long conversations discussing the most efficient, and least troublesome routes.
