Even before this, the WIAA saw an all-women team from the North at the WIAA city office to complete formalities and symbolically be flagged off, to compete in a rally called, “The Mongol Rally—Poles of Inconvenience 2023.” The rally needs them to drive 30,000 km in Europe and has an August 30 finish.

All these adventures may be personal journeys for the competitors, and not competition  in the strictest terms. Yet, these intrepid wheel warriors are also flying the Indian flag on their adventure. We all may never be in a race or rally. We may not be motorsport enthusiasts. Yet, let us be inspired at least to practise discipline on our roads.

Drive with caution and concern for the other in the city traffic. We may never go on a motoring adventure like them, and yet, we need skill, patience, a cool mind and immense responsibility even in something as banal as a daily driving commute to work or home. These journeys should teach us that the roads, whichever and wherever they may be, are to be treated with respect, and your life and that of others are absolute priority.
