Traffic

Traffic in B'lore is such a terrible thing. Traffic can not get worser than B'lore.

I work at Hosur Rd, I travel from close to Hebbal to Hosur rd everyday. It takes me nearly 2 hrs to reach work. The worst part is I reach brigade rd in 30 mins (inspite of all the traffic on the way) .. from Brigade rd it takes me 45 mins to reach Hosur rd.. (can u belive that???)
It would take abt 10-15 mins from Brigade Rd to forum.. its the max anyone wud take to reach Forum from, however, in my case it takes me at least abt 25 - 30 mins.. coz of the traffic.. the sole reason for traffic is.. the policemen.. they switch off the signal.. and start taking over the traffic manually, which they are vert bad at, and they forget there are minimum 2 sides to a road...(as in two sided traffic) they keep letting the traffic one side for abt 10 mins.. where the other side it gets accumulated and again another 10 mins to clear this side.. and vice versa and the loop goes on.

When would B'lore be a better place to live at.. it was once called the pensioners paradise!!!

Water Water water!!!!!!!

A major problem bangloreans are facing is the water problem.. There is water problem everywhere..

We all know for a fact that there is a lot of water and the dam is abt to break.. and the Govt is still not ready to release water!!! It is an open secret.. all of them know thrz some reasn behind it!!!

The area that i live in.. there is absolutely no water and the people here live on corporation water and they manage to release water every eight days and guess wat.. only for abt 1/2 hr or so.. fine this is enuf for the drinking water and cooking ofcourse.. but wat happns to the sump.. and the overhead tank.. it jus does not fill...

i have personally calld the BWSSB for water and they blame on the other person.. when i called the so called "Other Person" he balmes it on the 2nd person and it goes on.. and i finally got to speak to someone.. and he gives me another story.. "mam we release water every 2nd day.. im sure there must be a pbm in ur connection.. i'l have someone check on the same.. and when he came.. he said there is a major pbm and he has to change the whole setup and guess what.. he charged me 600 bucks to fix and now.. the pbm remains the same...

i got to a whole lotta ppl but all in vain!!!

The reason for pollution!!

B'lore was once known as the garden city. Thats not true anymore.

The biggest cause for pollution, the BMTC buses, the autorikshaw etc...
I wonder if these vehicles even go for a regular service.. they are also the cause for noise pollution.

It always so happens that policemen, can never see any of these on road and catch them while they are making a mistake.. they just cant see them. people have heard of "selective listening", but the policemen in B'lore implement "selective seeing".

When the BMTC buses emit a huge cloud of smoke on the policemen' face.. they are so nonchalant. However, when a normal person riding his bike ( goes for the emission test regularly) gets caught for no reason.. thats coz policemen implement "selective seeing".

The autorikshaw.. they are so noisy, nothing can beat that, its even louder than a bullet. Apart from the noise they also emit smoke.. (they are trying to save on money, use kerosene) and as usual the policemen, do their duty without fail (catch a person who gets everything done on time).

Another manhole!!

Manhole and all kinds of ditches have caused a havoc in the recent past, yet the allotted representitives for the respective wards in B'lore still havent realised the seriousness of this..

Herez another manhole in Canara Bank layout close to Sahakaranagar, (near hebbal flyover) and there are 2 of them that are open..

Where shld i take this to?? who can fix this??

Do we have to keep telling the Govt wat to do??

Are the public here only to remind the Govt officials of thier jobs?? Its such a shame people don't know their job, which they are being paid for without any delay..

The Gas station...Gosh!!!

The petrol bunks in b'lore!! woow!! they cheat in a blink of an eye..

The other day.. my sis n i were driving down.. and we had to fuel the car.. so we stopped by the HP petrol bunk near the CBI road, we thought it was just another bunk to fuel the car.
we did not really pay any attention.
There was a guy already fueling his bike. Once he was done, the guy came and took the key as usual to open the tank and asked how much?? so as usual we told him.. for 500/-...

Even before the guy could start fueling the car.. the cashier came to collect the money.. we gave him the card.. when the person started fueling the car.. simulaneously, the cashier, asked for Rs.3/- change, why would anybody want 3 Rs change when given a card.. ??

In about a second everything that was happening around was so bizzare..

In about a fraction of a second.. my sis n i realised something was terribly wrong !!
you know its pretty normal for us to hear the man in bunk screamin his lungs out.." madam zero , madam zero...." a zillion times until we take a look at the reading.. which the man never did..

When we finally saw the meter, the meter reading was at 50/- already.. and we all know for a fact that.. the meter would not jump all the numbers till 50/- in a jiffy..
You know this all happend in a fraction of a second

Gosh!! then we realised.. that the bunk guy was trying to cheat us... he had fueled a bike before us and he continued the same for the car.. without refreshing the meter and no wonder he did not bother to tell us.. "madam zero"..
When asked him to put 50/- extra he denied.. he startd saying.. no madam it always turns zero automatically.. he startd raising his voice.. when i got out of the car.. and yelled at him.. he was still not willing to fuel for extra 50/-

By then.. there was a police constable who arrived at the bunk seeing me fight with the bunk guy.. when the police constable heard the story.. he stood by the bunk guy and asked him to fuel for extra 50/- and then left..

For the first time i'v seen a police man do the right thing!!

And people be careful about fueling in any bunk!! then can jus do anything to cheat us all!!
