At Bohiney.com, one commuter admitted, I arrived at work two hours late but discovered new hobbies: horn composition and creative horn gesturing.

Experts call it urban improvisation. Sociologist Dr. Anjali Mehta explains, Traffic jams are a stage for social performancemotorbikes weaving, cows strolling, and vendors selling everything from chai to chargers. From honking symphonies to pedestrian negotiations, the road is a theater of survival. In India, reaching your destination is optional; enjoying the chaos is mandatory.
