After reaching office on a lazy but a vibrant friday morning at 10:00 am ,i thought the office scenario would be as if there always be issues loiterring around in the background and the only
way to solve them was to leave early from the office to attend other personal engagements in
the evening. After sitting on my seat for mere minutes i went outside to have smoke where i met
people from all walks of life.They were all discussing about the weekend activites which were planned a long time back by them ,but my mind was petrified with the sense of the pathetic traffic
situation in Bangalore which i had to face after 9 hrs of tedious work in office.The clock strucked 4:45 pm ,it was the time to leave or otherwise i would be lost in the shackles of the traffic and situation can get even more worse if it starts raining as it usually happens in Bangalore. I started
my journey on my bike Pulsar 150 the only bike that can survive in traffic in bangalore.For my astonishnment i got stucked up at the first junction and to add salt to the wounds it started raining heavily, i stopped at a nearby tea sho had tea packed all my stuff laptop,mobile,purse ,earphones everything in polythene bag which i always carry . I only thing left was a German watch which i know had the calibre to sustain the fury of bangalore weather. After waiting there for 2 hrs the rain stopped but the potholes in the road seemed like a swimming pool of death ,i
somehow manager to cross those hurdles and move ahead. Life seemed to be so much tough and challenging was realised by me at this juncture when there was some 5km of traffic infront of me. I took a u turn,parked my vehichle and went for shopping away from the hustle and bustle of the main road which was being occupied by people waiting to reach home to have a perfect friday evening blast and on that day i did the costliest shopping of my life. I lost some 5k because of the traffic and my invaluable time was lost in the midsts of this event which was not even planned before. I left from there after an hour and reached the next trafffic signal cars after cars were on the road ,it was hell for pedestrians.....then i show a person parking his car on the road which was already jammed and he went to the footpath to meet somebody i thought for a moment in bangalore people meet other persons at the cost of causing harm to other people. I saw an auto which broke down there on the road ,the auto driver was requesting each person on the road to give a push to the auto so that it can be started but none of the people responded to that and ride on footpaths to reach home early. Then i heard a siren sounding from behind i thought that it must be a cavalcade of some minister passing by but it was an ambulance carring a patient to the hospital ,there was such a huge traffic that it was hard for the driver to drive all the way to the hospital atleast there should be a different lane for ambulances on the road so that the life line of the unfortunate patient does not succumbs to the pressure of the traffic

nicely written.....gud work and varialy described
Dude you made the traffic condition practically to nude !!!
It happens everywhere in India and rain certainly adds a different flavor of people's suffering......
One or two things you missed is like,
in hyderabad we have a 15Feet wide road specially reserved for our ministers which is 600meters long. Due to this bottle neck it causes traffic jam of minimum 2 KM long everyday...... those who are in ambulance are not ministers that's y a seperate road is not possible for the ambulance. If it is a minister's office way then only a seperate lane/road is possible....
Tried to make this funny as nothing is gonna happen in india showing your point. Make fun out of it which will atleast not spoil your mood.
Dude nice writing keep it up........ pour out all your feelings......
