We are in the city of chikki (Lonavla). We have to take a right turn towards the Aamby valley city. However, the right turn is prohibited - so says a traffic board. Worse(?), there was a traffic policeman to ensure that drivers do not violate traffic rule. So, the tifr bus had to go straight, follow a government public transport bus, 'ghusavo' (barge-in) into the govt. bus stand and thus effect a U-turn. A traffic abiding U-turn would have meant another 20 kms and half an hour extra time. The famous 'Maganlal chikki' was being sold in practically all shops.
