Saturday Night In Hyderabad...
Published by Aakarsh under Music on Saturday, September 24, 2005
Finally, my computer is back to life..( only my computer...not me..).it took long time for me to bring it back. the last week was drained completely in frustration,spent so much money, because some problem or the other kept the system down. finally, yesterday night, it began its 2nd innings. and internet was restored today.
Saturday!!!! what a day it is...the weekend leisure has a very sprighty mood..because sunday is a holiday.my saturday morning was a way different. Instead of casuals, i was in complete formals..driving to school...somewhere near Parklane, one Santro Car was honking continuously. due to traffic, i couldnt give way to him and he kept on honking.he wasnt blind. he could see the traffic. still, i didnt/dont understand what sublime sadism he's got.
Had many group discussions today in school.having finished lunch and a meeting, i landed in Comp. Lab to gather some information/data so that i can start my Macroeconomics assignment.by 4:30pm, i finished my work and was quite charged up as its been real long time since i went home early.
4:40pm...the bike doesnt start..after many kicks..i took it to a mechanic nearby..he checked it and said that it'll take atleast 1 hour to fix the problem...ie.,. i was asked to come by 6:00pm.
well! he took more time and 6:45pm..vehicle delivered..and i start off..cursing the day...having successfully crossed the traffic-jam @ punjagutta, i breathed a sigh of relief..only to be welcomed by another jam at Paradise...this time, atleast 6 pple behind me irritated me with their honking..one chap was honking for a continuous 15secs..my ear-drum couldnt take anylonger..i closed..my ears..eyes and was imagining a scene where i go to him..open his car-door, pull him out..and chop his right hand..till the elbow..but wait! he's not the only one..there were so many bastards there...who could see that nothing was moving or there was no space anywhere..still..were honking their horns out..thats the civic sense of hyderabadis...and let me tell u...this is not new...the continuous honk disturbs and distresses ur mind so much that u can really feel the head-ache hitting u...seriously, i feel like killing them..like..hacking them to death..but killing a life for loud-honking is too much..so, i feel like chopping a hand...to atleast shooting their tyres so that they cant move even when the traffic is cleared...
and then...after abusing(well! i must admit..i used all the gaalis i know..and then realized that i should learn more..) atleast a dozen guys there..i come out of the war..after a nice 30mins..my back already started to complain..and then, near my place…I have a railway crossing…the line-man there usually closes the gate atleast 8 mins before the arrival of the train..(if u think 8mins is reasonable..think again…its too long..) and he opens the gate atleast 3-4mins after it cross the gate..which means..he will open it only when he sees it going out of his line-of-sight..probably he fears that it may come back suddenly..whatever…I landed at the gate at 7:50 or so..train passed sometime between 7:55 & 8:00...meanwhile..the traffic at one side locks its head(s) with the traffic at the other side..like, vehicles at one side occupy the complete road leaving no space for the vehicles at the other side to pass-by..so, when this happens on both sides..where is the room to go…I waited…watched..8:05..i watched..8:10.....(.the honking didn’t stop..)and finally..after 20mins(only), I could drive out…and reach home by 8:30pm.
If you guys think that this was a unique day, for which I am putting it on blog…NO!! its a routine..it happens atleast twice or thrice a week (except the vehicle repair)..its only that my comp is back to life..so is my internet and I wanted to get back to blogging…but after a wonderful day, my faculties are dead and hence i' posting my (typical) expience..with all this frustration, it is more frustrating to open financial accounting text book..isn’t it? Cant help it…got a test on Monday..and 3 other assignments to submit…looks like I cant sleep early tonight..how can I? Being in hyderabad...amidst bastards & bitches…
Don’t mind..Just Venting out..

Well RW Hydrabad is not the only place ; So is mad Madras and so many other Metropolis cities.
When you learn to live untouched your health is insured.
No Alternative my dear. Save your anger and its lingo for more productive use.
Sorry I should have addressed Akarsh :)
The whole thing shows degrading attitude of Indians in general. All the talk about GDP growth rates of 7%, 8% or 9% and being the tech destination of the world and things like that are only useful to stoke up our ego. Until and unless we change our attitude as a society and learn how to help others and be humble we are nothing more than POS.
All that we read in the news papers from a foreign shore is the corruption of our officials and the stories of how politicians stealing public money!!! And the common man on the road just could not care about his fellow traveller. Is there anything that we can really talk about proudly?
