This week's been quite hectic. Mainly coz of traffic.
Its the annual feature I guess. It rains. Roads get damaged. HUGE craters appear all of a sudden, making you wonder if any meteorite landed there. Naturally, with the next spell, all these craters and their smaller cousins - the potholes - get filled up and hamper traffic flow.
So a normal journey from office, that used to take an hour and 30 minutes, now takes a minimum of 45 minutes more.
The funny things is that, the choke point varies every day. One day it was Chrompet. Another day it was the Airport. Next time it was the Kathipara Junction. The area between the Airport and Kathipara was clogged once. Halda junction took the honors another day. Not to be left out, the stretch between Madhya Kailash and Anna University showed its power by stopping traffic on the surface road and also on the flyover.
Its quite bad to travel by bus in this mess. Thankfully, I now leave by the 6.30 services and so I dont have to share my seat with anyone. Otherwise, I will go mad during 'jam' times.
Only yesterday evening, I had the usual 1.5hr journey. I am guessing that was because the rain has stopped for a couple of days and also because it was a Saturday and so no routine peak-hour traffic.
Yes, my office was working yesterday to compensate for the public holiday we were given for the Tamil Nadu Municipal Elections. But again, the crowd was less in the office, coz some projects still had to come that day and few others made a strategic move to come in last Saturday itself. That was a good strategic move because, since its not an official working day, the bus services are limited and that means less time in the office. I however didnt opt for that option, though in all honesty, that strategy didnt strike me till 2 days back. By which time, I guess it was late.
So basically I have just this one day to recharge myself. The sun also seems to be out. So hopefully I can do some mall visit and also finish up the pending treat to Superthumby and Neeluking.
