With 200 cars being registered everyday, traffic congestion in Mumbai is hitting an all time high. As compared to Delhi (Indian Capital) which has 40,000 k.m of roadways, Mumbai has only 19,000. Yet it has the traffic population of Pune, Lucknow and Delhi put together!

One must respect Black.
Nothing prostitutes it.
It does not please the eye or awaken another sense.
It is the agent of the minds even more than the beautiful color of the palette.
