in ur life time.....
Dear readers,
So much have been written on this. This is just one more live and LIFE experience!!
9th June 2003, a historic day when I got the first experience of Bannera gatta road. I thought for a while , is it part of Bangalore??? ohh.. my god, my company is on this road!!! I got royally screwed myself on my first day of corporate life and it was so much of pain just to reach Bilekahalli from Jayadeva hospital( just two km apart). When I got in to my company reception, I was really relaxed.
But slowly day by day, I got adjusted to it. By then it had become my daily route. Traveling in BTS bus from Silk board junction to Jayadev hospital and then to Bilekahalli. Many a time, I felt it was even faster, if I start walking from Jayadev hospital to office.
Finally one day decided to go for "Victor". 28th August 2003, "Victor" was with me. Rainy season had already started in Bangalore. BG road got even more worse. Lot of pot holes appeared. Traffic jam increased. Add to this two fly over, one in Jayadev Hospital and other in Silk board Junction was under construction. I was under confident to go for a "victory" with my "victor" in Hosur road and in BG road. Found many short cuts in between to avoid "Jayadev Junction" but I could never bypass the "HELL".....THE BANNERA GATTA ROAD.....
Things got even worse when Gvt decided to improve the "HELL". Traffic jam increased, everyone including me forgot all the traffic rules in "HELL". I forgot that there exist 4th and 3rd gear in "VICTOR". My Bike riding skills improved a lot at a cost of "VICTOR'S" life. Forgot to keep my bike clean. Life time of dress reduced to a DAY ( believe me, it was once a week when I was in college). Starring at others while riding became common. Reaching the office fast and safely became "mantra" of LIFE.
With all these pain, "mind" started thinking( I do think when it matters most) for some alternative. Some of the short listed items were " Travel in company Bus", Travel in BTS bus, Change the company OR change ur living location!!! The last one looked more practical. On 12th June, 2004, exactly one year 3 days of "HELL" experience I and Pacchi decide to shift to AREKERE lay out.
Now, it is hardly once in a week, that I experience the "HELL" on my VICTOR. I have lost hopes that this "HELL ", at least upgrades itself to road which are in my native( Kumta..The city of Joy). I am sure by now my life time is decreased at least by 6 months because of dust and pollution.
My "VICTOR" is still fighting to keep its shock observer properly to serve its "maalik". It has also grown old. All ready had two major( I fell down twice) and two minor (tire got Puncture) injuries.
Finally, THE experience on BG road goes this way.............
was just a "DREAM" for me....
Simply,
maski...still starving for a "victory" on "Victor"
