Traffic situation is like this: in the morning when on Rachana duty, I have no trouble. I go to work against the flow of traffic and when I finish work and come home to change, again I'm going against the traffic, so its the opposite thing and its good for me.

And in the evening, on this dominoes job, there is a lot of rush. Offices finish, and there is such a traffic jam, so I face a lot of trouble. In all of this we have to deliver in 30 minutes. And in the
Dhaka-dhaki (push-pull) we have to reach in 30 minutes otherwise it becomes a free delivery, thats the rule.

But somehow we manage. Even now, I had a 7:00 delivery to Worli Sea-face, cool-rukh building, and I reached at 7:26. So, we have to drive at speed otherwise we wont reach in so little time, in so much traffic and rush.

Between 6-10 is when we face the trouble. And around Siddhi-Vinayak, near the main signal,. There is traffic from all four sides, just getting out of there is difficult. There is so much rush, public, cars, taxis, buses, a lot of rush, its a lot of 'problem'.
