where’s faridabad? at 60kmph

The title is not self explanatory. The question that I was asked was how to go to Faridabad via The Bristol hotel. Now, for the speed part, I was at 60km/ph while answering the question. (60kmph come around 40 miles per hour). Just so you know, the one who asked was at the same speed but on his bike. :-) Never before have I had such good comfort levels at such high speeds. The place where I was asked is what counts. It was the super duper highway between the capital, New Delhi and Gurgaon. Google maps has old pics where its still in construction. Its the 8 lane highway where you ought to fly on the ground! The second the older highway I recall is the Mumbai Pune Expressway. It’s by far was more challenging to be constructed. Thought the pune xpressway is not a tarmac road but concrete, it can handle high speeds. It is only meant for 4 wheelers. That highway is also a Toll road for the entire distance. The Gurgaon highway that has opened is tarmac road and as of now allows two wheel drivers too (not bicycles but bikes and scooters).
