Break Down Fest

Is there a virus out there that spreads from car engine to car engine crippling them in the middle of the road? Had you been on the Nizamuddin Bridge today around 11 am, you would have said or rather screamed in road rage: "Yes. How else can you explain all this mess." How else, indeed? The moment I entered the breezy 3-km stretch, I and almost 1,000 were in for a shocker. Well, we were in an unexplainable jam. Unexplainable because it wasn't the so-called peak hour, which is over by 10.30. As we crawled our way past the mess, I saw at least five broken down cars. Then sixth soon after it. The seventh about a kilometre later and an eighth on Bhairon Road. Was this some kind of breakdown fest or is there really a disease?
