"MP's/MLA's" Convoy

While travelling on the main roads of chennai,Have you ever come across this situation...
you are riding your car or bike and suddenly,u see red lights flashing on u r rear view mirror,so u pull to the sides of the road,to let it through.But you find it to be a convoy of cars,taking ministers to fictious meetings.What are they gonna do,being so early to any place for that matter.... Huh?

to make matters more worse,they cause unnecessary piles ups and put all motorists at risk!!

one more thing,they acceralate fast,but not drive fast.They think they own the road literally....

yesterday,b cos of this convoy ,a 10 minute ride became a 15 minute ride for me,cos when ever i try to overtake,they damn honk their horns like bizzare!! so i pull back thinkin ,he will overtake u and go fast,but no.... he still remains in the same damn place.

some one has to take the right for any MLA or MP to have the convoy or flashing red light.
if they seriously need to be in a meeting,better take that seriously and start one hour before schedule.

Are we not told to do the same??

politics still remains a mystery to common man.

Political thunderstorms....

To be a politician ,you need to be like a service provider,trying to meet the needs of the masses,trying hard to make their county/district a better place.That was how people perceived politicians.And this is how i/we view the political setup as.
One needs to have the following qualifications * should a bigger gunda,so it is easier to put fake votes and capture booths if required. * Must have a family member already part of the existing political strata. * must have the ability to listen to the people's woes and let it dripple out through the other ear.
If this is politics,who the heck who would want to join? Having said all these,there was a recent proclaimation in the papers by politicians that TAMIL should be made the medium of instruction in all professional colleges and other places(i du not exactly remember...).What the heck is that about? Are we trying to go back in time? DO you have any idea,how many students,are missing out oppurtunities,just because,they cannot communicate in english to others properly. Even France is facing that issue and its President,who has realized his follies and trying to rectify by providing English classes to all.

I am not against TAMIL or any other langauage,i am just expecting people,to realise that based on emotions and nostalgia,we cannot survive in the world.If we have to make a MARK in this world,we need to do it in our way,but not by seggregating ourselves,from the crowd,but by identifying ourselves as different.that is all.TAMIL should be give its due diligence,but that should not hinder us from achieving the goal of global identification.
Due you know,the reason,why our Honorable communication Minister is able to make his mark,because he is able to communicate his thoughts to the probable investors through a common medium.What seperates him from the common politician weilding a sickel is knowledge and the global language english.
I have nothing else to add here.....

Jar heads

Now this is a new term that i have come up with to describe the following set of people.

* guys who think a small car can be driven like a bike

Man,u shud c these guys complete jarheads,cutting and swerving on the road like punks let loose on a beach. The ironic fact is that i will be like that if i get a car.It seems that the effect of the bike still adheres to the pea sized brain of ours.With power steering and disk brakes,who cannot drive the car like a bike. It is not speed that is dangerous here but the fantasy that u can squeeze your mid sized car between two trucks with a bikerider in between honking his 90DB horn on a chaotic frenzy.

* Me,I drive my bike on an average speed of 75 to 80.
U must be thinking,wer the heck he finds space to drive the bike at that speed. Did I say everywhere?Once u cross guindy and the road is like a three lane freeway end to end to my place :P All I need a single person on a bike to tick me off and I am off for a frenzy tag with the others on the road.The exhilaration helps me vent of steam if I am angry also.cool huh??

* Radical politicians,who think they own the freakin road.PUNKS!!!
They have these new scorpios which can accelerate from 0 to 60 in like 15secs.They pass through danger with its teeth hanging out.

Garbage Trucks!!

The purpose of garbage trucks is to collect garbage from all the residential areas and dump em in reserved areas for decomposition or watever is that they do with that.But in chennai,it seems that it kinda of follows a different concept.

Step 1:They take garbage from all residential areas
Step 2:While taking the garbage to the dumping grounds,try to reduce the load,by dissipating
the noisome and the garbage on the riders,who travel on the damn main road.
( I think it is like a new solution for constrained space for dumping grounds....)
Two wheelers are the most affected.I come under that and that's why i am writing this :(


I du not find a step ,where the garbage actually goes to the dumping ground.

1) why don't they do this in the night time? so the morning goers can avoid the noxious smell
2) why don't the garbage men,act reponsible here? They might be taking garbage,but still they hold responsibility for that job!!

3) work ethics huh? what is that?
