Last year, our son shifted to Noida and we decided to pay him a visit. We started our journey and soon upon entering Noida, we used the Google Maps: GPS services to reach our destination without any hassle.We religiously followed the directions of GPS lady but ended up travelling same roundabout for umpteen times as the GPS lady softly kept on saying 'You have reached your destination...' Unfamiliar with the territory we told our son to send a live location and finally by fits and starts we reached our destination, that is, his home.
Well; 99 per cent GPS works incredibly well. The Google maps app on our smart phone gets us to where we need to go and we don't have to think twice about it. But many a time, it goes awry in rather unexpected ways. When we are caught in the thick of traffic, GPS lady politely tells to keep on the left for 500 metres and then turn right at roundabout. Then you tend to get confused like should you keep left or take the right turn.
You suddenly get panicky as the motorists behind you honk, twowheeler riders pass by you giving you weird glances with choicest abusive torrents.
