The Journey to god forsaken land (Perils of travel to MWC)

    On the morning ! Sep 11 2008, just slet in. oops woke up to ringing mobile...its call from Cab mate, OMG its time the were waiting for me.. at boarding point, Picked it up quickly told him i not coming by CAB, same is the dialogue which goes as SMS to him every morning, but now its my voice which says the same to him.

Yes its done.. he is gone.. and again back to sleep, thinking that if i get up from bed after 15mins, i can catch the late morning shuttle to reach my office.

Oh Man ... my office is located nearly 65 kms from my place. I decided to take the late pick up shuttle, mind you.. to reach the place where i can board the late pickup bus, i need to travel another 10 Kms.

OMG, its 7:45, i have gone into wild dreams, nearly 30 mins.. i need to hurry up to pickup. hm.. brushed my teeth, shower, coffee.. all in 15 mins.. then immediately out of house by 8:05 AM.

pushed myself into share auto, which will just go for 2kms frm where i need to board another auto or bus to reach the Main boarding point of late MOoooorning CAAB.

At last after some 40 mins i reaached the pickup spot , just to glare at the buzzzessss, horns.. and city traffic , yes i missed my last and final shuttle to office from city by a whisker.

Just thinking do i need to go to office.... Yes a city bus just passed by and caught one to them to reach the tambaram bus depot,finally I got into it.. yep.. i got good window seat J.. thank God! Yeah i was just gazing around, thinking about the perils of driving a vehicle in city traffic hm.. horns.. zig zags by auto walas...super stunts my mobikes.. alas clueless learners driving santro's, zens and all sorts of small and mediums cars, Just a thought in mind.. about rise in people spending power of people, need for luxury, thanks to Software industry and 1992 Narasima rao government who opened the flood gates of foreign banks and other companies to invest in india.Yes i was nearing the pallavaram, the smell of powder factory,, Chrompet fire station, remember seeing it regularly on my way to college 1st year, tambaram sanitorium TB hospital, yeah i am into Tambaram bus depot, got down just walked few meters,, jump on to another bus to reach the so called CITY, which is OUT of city...cannot be called a city yeah its misnomer.

The bus started from tamabaram to reach my final spot, yeah i was just getting nostalgic.. its the route i used take in college days to reach my college which is between my office and tambaram.As as the bus crossed my college just could smell the good old beautiful college days again.. as the dreams went by... i had to get down.. from bus to reach my office, which is again from 5-6 kms from bus depot.Yep i got down , and i could see the bus was almost empty as most of them got off at the same point.. I walked lonely walked into the MISNOMER yeah its not a CITY again. just waited for few mins to check if i could get any lifts to reach my office campus. :-(, Yep i was not successful. I got into a shuttle service ran by the campus imitating a IIT model in a irritating way, sure to be a flop.I realised that i not going to take to my office campus directly, it went to nearest railway station to PICK up some more people from there.. its a terrible journey for some 20 mins in Nai vandi(Dog van yeah i meant MCC shuttle), some nastalgic memories of  my remote village where people run behind small bullouck cart fitted with sound service which will come around the village to inform people about new film release hit my mind , i reached my office campus.. Glaring in sun, i reached my desk just to continue my work.. where i left other day :-(.................
