Prevention Is Better Than Cure...


So true. But who is there take care of the prevention part... Personal matters we can take care of ourself and make sure we will do the precaution part too. But for public issues... Does Civic authorities doing their part well...

Last week I saw a dried branch of the big tree opposite to our office. It was inside the Rest House Park and our security told the park caretakers about it. They came there to inspect the scene. One was telling the other that they don't have the ladder to reach that height, then the second care taker told that they should not touch it, it is supposed to be handled by the forest authorities.

Nothing happened. The log remained there, till today noon. It fell directly on the windshield of my colleague's car. She needed to spend Rs. 3000 to change it. Who is responsible for this incident... The forest authorities who didn't check the hanging logs periodically or the part caretakers who didn't bother to remove it...

Thank God it didn't fell on anybody. Still, can't that be avoided....

Theory Of Relationship


When you meet someone new, you will find him/her attractive and there starts a relation.
When it is being built, at one point ego will come to picture, ego of both.
It may grow distance or break-up.
Then, you will think and realise how good it was with him / her and start weeping over it.
It will be the same case with the other too.
You will be dying to patch up, to say sorry.
One day you will at last make the courage to say sorry and straighten things.
Both of you will come closer than ever before and will live happily ever after....

This is my theory of relation.
A friend or colleague, with anybody this could be true.

Remember, everything depends on the time taken to realise the worth and to patch up.
Make sure it will not be too late to correct...
Good Luck

I Am Special !!!


Don't get too excited. Everyone of us is special. Got something unique. This post is just one instance when this unique (dis)ability made my day...

It is simple - I can get lost in any road. Even the road I travel daily !!!

Today I needed to go to KR Puram to collect my camera, and though I been to the place a lot of times, I got lost, royally, twice on the same day...

The Bangalore Metro work is going on most part of the route and so I was a bit careful about the road I chose. I took MG Road, to Ulsoor, then Old Madras Road to KR Puram. I was ready to enter Old Madras Road, putting on the indicator and all ( because I used to go by that route daily for more than 6 months ), I saw the sign post saying for Ulsoor I needed to go straight... Thanking God and my fortune I went straight only to find that I was on the wrong way... Too bad it was a one way and I was royally stuck. Almost 15 minutes later and numerous short-cuts I managed to get to the desired route.

At KR Puram junction I needed to take right turn. So on reaching KR Puram, I was on the right track and was looking for the turn. And it was very late when I realised I was on the flyover... It took a good 2.5 kms to find the U-turn. And while coming back too, I was about to take the next flyover, being on right track, but despite the angry horns and howls of the following vehicles I manged to escape it.

I ride almost 40 minutes and 8 kms more. That too in the hot Bangalore sun. Even in my thin Kurta, I was sweating a lot. And my office schedules are so tight that I felt a bit guilty when I asked for the half an hour permission. But on the flip side, I ride the hanging flyover, which I always wanted to.

Majestic is nearly 5 kms from my office and around 15 minutes ride. But when I go there, I will take nearly an hour and will roam a good chunk of Bangalore. Everytime I promise myself to be careful and be on the right road, but somehow very naturally I will deviate from it.

Whats life without a little surprises... I am in for the game :)
