BRAKE!
Its crazy! Have I ever told you I love Hyderabad? Ok, NOW, I officially hate it.
There was this board on the divider which read HYDERABAD... Bigger, Better, GREATER... and there is more... What they forgot to mention was - in what way?!
So today was the day of realizations. Writing it all like a story is a pain to me and to you, so lets just check some salient points.
-> I hate Y.S Rajasekhar Reddy. From the bottom of my heart I hope something really really really bad happens to him.
-> Flyovers can fall. Even if a transformer falls it is equal to a flyover collapsing. Which brings us to another important point - Transformers fall because of the soil erosion caused by 2cm rainfall. (God! the AP govt learnt one word from the science text book. What only if they learn something that sounds as posh as eutrophication )
-> And if this transformer is close to an under-construction flyover, then, that too can collapse by the transformers weight or by the soil erosion.
-> Why are flyovers forever under construction in Hyderabad? Ask YSR!
Efff him.
-> TV5 people are everywhere these days. They bravely park their vehicles under YSR's flyover babies.
->So our lovely transformer did fall and what came after that? Traffic Jam. Not the "litch" 500 meters baby one. The huuge kinds... that spread across Mehdipatnam, Banjara hills, Masab tank, Panjagutta, Lakdi ka pool, Begumpet and more. If you know Hyderabad then you probably have realised you have no place to go but crawl with the traffic.
-> The Masab tank flyover is capable of supporting 4 hours of complete traffic on it (live tested). Goes to say, Babu's work lasts. For longer than 7 years and many many 10 cm rainfall. Jai BABU!
-> It takes climbing up and down 4 buses to realise its better to wait for your own bus than show smartness in taking some random bus JUST because you have a bus pass.
-> And it hurts your ego if the 4th bus you take after all the crawling is the bus you couldn't wait for.
-> Sail club is tempting when you can sail all the way to necklace road and back and still find your bus just 100 meters from where you last left it.
-> One would LOVE to do the radio mirchi traffic check if only they were given a helicopter. The show would run forever.
-> Empty-auto drivers should be tortured by their own meters. They CANNOT stop at all. (Though the look on Suma's face was priceless. Hehe;) )
-> Cell phones can be thrown when your mom says "auto kadaikkalena bus la vaa"..."seekram va"... "Kalambi va nee modalla" ... Right I am fishing at tank bund that I dont even want to start. So I want to scream "I have been on my way for the last 2 hours" but NO! Such talks aren't supposed to be prolonged for your own sanity. So okayBye is the word of the day.
-> Coming back home 4 hours after college closed, the last thing you would want to hear is "ALL YOU DO IS EAT AND SLEEP". But no energy means wonly okfine.
-> So what do we get inspite of going through all this? A college which isn't even half-worth all the trouble we take reaching it or getting back home. Only criminals everywhere.
-> Traffic Jams make you forget to celebrate the ONLY time Osmania University reval results show sympathy on you. Another bunch of criminals they are.
Thats pretty much the last few hours of my life. Special thanks to Shruthi, Suma and Rajee for playing a major role in all the life changing experiences.
I took this pic of a man working on the Panjagutta flyover which collapsed recently. Was hoping I'd get a chance to use it. But now I just thought I'll put it up.
