Problem of abundance
As it is, Bangalore roads have massive issues – be it crazy traffic or crazy dogs, crazy auto drivers or crazy begging eunuchs who sometimes get very touchy about not being given money. Literally. Now, I have no idea why I should pay a eunuch. What do they lack that I need to pay them money for? Or is it a religious or a superstitious thing that I am thankfully not aware of?
Yet, the government (I am not even sure if this comes under the center or the state which clearly shows how it does not matter) seems to find ways to pose new challenges to the already dumb, road raged drivers. This time in the form of 6 lanes! Yes, 6 freaking lanes! What do they expect - that we’ll all of a sudden get our acts together, follow lane discipline, not honk, don’t drink and drive, live and let live and be happily ever after? Don’t they know us _at all_? I feel cheated from this presumptuous act. I never thought they would put us through the horrifying experience of too many lanes in Bangalore. EVER.
The road I am talking about is the newly constructed segment of NH4 from Yeshwanthpur to Nelamangala. It’s awesome and we don’t deserve it. Drive there once and you will see why. Sad.

Wow you started to blog.
This is good !
1. I always give some money to Eunuchs... They are not accepted easily like any of us... you think they get jobs easily ?
I know all the stuff about trying hard and succeeding n all... but lets face it... it is a kind of a handicap.. lecture jaasti aithu
2. LOL we don't deserve a good road ? But we deserve to curse the govt, comparing our roads with roads in China n Abu Dhabi.. :P
what you're not going to argue now ???
Well, I know we complain about the roads and also complain about them being very good as well :) I guess it will be very hard for the government (especially) to satisfy me ;)
And I see your point about eunuchs. I think it makes sense to give them money. But I feel so, well, wrong whenever I give someone money without knowing I am not making it worse. You know? And I also subscribe to the whole teach fishing vs. give a fish policy. So :)
