On the road to irritation..

Top 10 irritations when you are on the road..

1. You are in such a hurry to cross the road, when the vehicle approaching you seems to deliberately slow down.. And you feel like yelling out -"Why dont you go faster and just get
off my way!!!" but on the other hand, you wait and let him go and then cross the road..Huh!

2. You are walking by the side of the road on the pedestrian path.. and you hear big time honking.. you turn back to see whats happening, and you see bikers occupying major portion of the walking path, almost about to bump against you!!


3. If you happen to go somewhere near a flyover under construction..(well fyovers in our country are ALWAYS 'under construction'..thats a different thing..) then you get a feeling that you do a lot of hardwork while going to office, as you cross seven hills and seven seas.. (read: the mud, debris and all the dug up stuff...)

4. You are getting awfully late to office, and you intend to take a rick, instead of walking.. You stop a rick, tell the guy your destination.. As all of you know.. and for those who do not know.. B'lore auto drivers are great 'Thinkers'.. The guy takes one whole minute to think.. YOu are eagerly waiting for his response.. You are getting late.. And finally.. he says- "No Madam.." And I go "Ada cha.. idha munnadiye solla koodaadhu? Google earth software a mandai la load panni destination enga irukku nu narrow down pannina dhaan ivvalo neram aagum..!! HUH!"

5. And finally if you manage to get a rick.. after a few mts, the rick stops for a signal..for 180 whole seconds(3 minutes!!!!) And then finally when the green signal comes up, there will be a moronic guy with a real huge vehicle right in front.. blocking the way, and having all sorts of starting and moving problems!!! You hear unbearable honking from all directions.. and finally by God's grace, when he decides to move, Wah! The signal goes back to red again!!! WHEW!! TOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!

Well..I am too pissed off to complete the remaining reasons.. as I experienced ALL of the above 5 reasons today morning...Generally on a normal day its a permutation, combination of any 2 .. :( :(
Poor me!
