KATHMANDU: In six months, road users in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, have learned to cringe at using the car horn unnecessarily. Like in most old South Asian cities, horns seem a matter of life and death in Kathmandu, with its narrow, congested, pot holed roads. "You can Google my name," he prompted, and a quick search shows he has little traffic experience. A Ford EcoSport that costs Rs 10.92 lakh, ex-showroom, in Delhi has a tag of Rs 31.9 lakh (Rs 21 lakh in Indian currency) in Kathmandu. With the incentive gone, there is some laxity and this has allowed the citizens to feel a little freer.
