Driving In Garden City..

Driving is one of the favourate things I do.., I’d really like to share a few thoughts I had cruising across Bangalore, Bangalore is an ever changing place it seems.., got to say it’s definitely got a better infra-structure than my home city…

The Blood stream of the city are its roads.. it lacks the local train advantage that many Indian cities have.. Thus has many heart attacks everyday.. though many By-pass Surgeries have been done, the ailment is incurable..

We can broadly classify the vehicle stream of this city in to

1.a.,The Known - The ones who know the way around.

b.,The Unknowns - The ones with a eye out for the right way. ( like me )

2.a.,The Drives - The ones who Drive. Because they can.

2.b.,The Drive - Nots - The ones who Drive, only coz they have a car. ( L – Boards.. basically )

The roads are featured with a Binomial distribution having the Expert Cab Drivers on one side and customary people on the other in a dynamic proportion., which changes with time. Of course with the sweet roar of engines n Not so sweet Smoke.,

A success of a typical commuting event from a source to destination is governed by many factors such the Type of Driver and the prevailing traffic distribution as in any experimental function.. but it is seen that most of the times the experiment is successful though many time barriers are breached.

Since I had the “drives, unknowns combo” and it was a hard time getting around the road. Was an real adventure, since I knew nothing about the directions. Seems Bangalore got a “Auto-complete feature” you have to be no expert in kannada., No need of grammar., Just say the name of the place the locals will just instruct their best route., which often seems to be the longest way the place., Just ask for direction, u’ll find that u’ll be directed to take a U - turn n tackle a fly-over or two., which on the other-hand can be done in a easy left turn., it can be branded as “The Bengaluru Way” around.

Extraa Shots : -

On my way to the fuel station, I learnt that fuel has an extra premium price tag when compared to other metro’s., I Wonder how fuel is priced., looks like some-one forgot to implement VAT on Fuel., Invest the tax on fuel on the road., and India will have Roads of F1 standards all around.

Fuel Economy is on a landside in Bangalore., “No wonder manufacturers put a USTC tag whenever taking about fuel economy.”, along with other prices, fuel expenses fall heavily on the pockets of poor motorist who are already struck by havoc in the roads.

Bangalore as along with many cities., not only fuels our economy n GDP., but burns a lot of fuel n power to propel itself economically., but forgets what it has emitted, a huge pile of Green-house gases and further a lot of heat.,

I don’t think its Garden City anymore n Driving there is No Walk in a Park.
