Adios Amigos!!! Now guys let me have the pleasure of clicking the orange colored "Publish Post" button. I have explained to the best of my abilities. If u cant understand a thing, dont bother. So now, we actually got a two two-lane right hand drive roads. This happens on both sides. Most of the vehicles who are waiting to join this road by taking a right turn from one of those smaller roads inevitable start travelling on the opposite direction befor they cross the road. There are so many smaller roads joining in, that its full of vehicles waiting to turn this way n that way. Its condition at its best behaviour can be termed chaotic. The Fraser town road is one fine example. I just noticed the apparent ease with which we Indians make a two lane road into a four lane one. I wonder I may be the unofficial world record holder for not stopping in a signal on the way back home. Not even a single damn signal.Do you believe it??? And guess what... I came home that day without stopping at a single signal.Now, plaza is at MG Road separated from my home by 10 kms and 9 traffic signals.I saw "the Terminal " last month on a cold sunday evening at the plaza. :) . Probably they are missing their favorite wall. And the rest would follow in and say a long wow with envy. Another would poke in and say "Look at the babe there..she's gonna be my neighbour...". "Hey look at this guy. He put money in his pension plans and he's gonna die 2row". I wonder whether they used to sit on the wall in groups and tease us. Well, probably they aren' t. I never knew around the corner, amidst all the smoke of vehicles and the blare of horns of the standing vehicles, there are around 500 people sleeping peacefully. There's actually a cemetry inside. On the way from my office, the compound wall that used to border the old madras road has been removed. But now that I missed two months writing of what happened, I wonder whether I should not consider them as things happened in my life. Something to refer back. I wanted to write a daily account of my life in this blog. But then I wanted to make my return after the 2 month hiatus a bit dramatic.(Its ok guys..i'm allowed petty wishes). I wanted to title this post as "Small Wonders & Road Observations". See, I'm a psycho n nature says I should do something weird. It would make more sense that way. I guess you should start reading the blog in reverse.
