sunday traffic

oh boy. the traffic on besant avenue is really annoying me. the cops are doing their best to slow down the traffic. they've placed these huge metal barricades on either side of the road, but that seems to be applicable only for any vehicle that has more than 3 wheels.
the other option that the cops have in place, is the speed breaker (or rumblers as they are known in only this part of the city). but that slows down everything except the SUVs. that breed of drivers are probably beaten to the post only by the 3 wheel demon called auto.
i think the only way traffic can be regulated here is by having the ubiquitous median or having a cop stand every 50m with a lathi in hand. and i defintely prefer a cop who likes to use it.

I went to see this tamizh movie called Jerry yesterday evening with aatha and naina. the movie was just about tolerable. for a supposedly full length comedy movie, it had around 15 minutes of real good fun. but then watching it in Mayajal, effectively blew a 600 buck hole in the wallet. somehow intelligently, i got my pops to pay for the whole thing. small pleasures in life :)

god, its monday in an hour's time. better get some sleep and start fresh for the daily 50km travel (each way) to office.
