It is really easy you know and I found this out only today. Have you been lazy or bored or anthropophobic or do you hate getting wet, please don't ideas now, to get your rear side to Freedom Park ? I have a perfect solution.
The solution is very simple if you happen to be one of the thousands of "Software Engineers" with your office somewhere near the famed Outer Ring Road. All you need to do is to drive to work via ORR between 8-11 AM in the morning and get back home happily between 5-8 PM. Only two things can happen to you. One, you might treat yourself with some rat poison and owe to not become a software engineer, and specially in Bangalore, in your next life. Two, you might join the people in FP to support their, no, our movement against corruption, which I think is the root cause for most of the ills plaguing our country.
The mess that is ORR is so bloody frustrating and pissing off that it leaves you with no other option. Ah yes, I forgot to mention the option where you might get yourself a shotgun and sacrifice few well-fed politicians for our country. Indians like shooting people. Some one cuts across your path while you are driving at high speed - "These bastards must be shot !". Another multi-crore scam - "Politicians, sons of bitches, why can't some one shoot them !".
Ok, so here I was trying to get to office just like any other honest employee of a honest company only to see a sea of carbon monoxide spewing humanity blocking my way on ORR. So, I come up with this brilliant idea to take a U-turn on ORR, go around to Sarjapur road, take one of the roads seldom taken by mere mortals and hit the service road that leads almost directly to my office. I am late for work by about 20 minutes then this brilliant idea of mine can cost me another 20 minutes but hey, it is better than being stuck in traffic for an hour. And also, some one has said that geniuses always do things nobody dares to do or something to that effect. So, I do it, with the help of couple of invectives thrown at me by my brothers stuck in traffic, I never said the plan was easy. And when I get to the service road, surprise surprise, a policeman greets me in his own peculiar way and tells me the service is closed ! What the hell ! The service road was functioning fine all this time when I was taking my company cab, how on earth can they close it off when only I go to office driving ! And worst part is that he directed me to the same point on ORR from where I first started ! Oh boy, if only I can find that person who said things about geniuses, arrrgghhh....
And please don't get me started on the journey back home from office in the evening. I don't have enough hair on my head to pull out.
Anna ji, here I come....
