Returning to my blog after a while. So the reason for writing this is my extreme frustration with my commute. Now, I'm this girl staying in Bellandur in Bangalore. Everyday I need to go till EcoSpace which is just 1km away from where I stay. This is because I need to take a shuttle from EcoSpace to my office which is in Whitefield. This is not a Herculean task to achieve because it should just take 10-15 minutes of walk to reach EcoSpace from my apartment. But it is just not happening for quite sometime now!!!!
Today I left at around 9:30am to reach EcoSpace at 10am. Yes I knew that it rained last night and the road is in a very bad shape. And that is why I kept a buffer time rather than just calculating 15minutes for this walk. But when I started to walk I realized that this is going to be a horrible experience today! The road was so muddy and gooey and there are cables all over the place. Anybody can get injured at any moment even with the utmost care. I was like I'm going to slip and fall down any moment and endup having a fracture! But still I continued to walk. It was like I'm undergoing a Roadies task or something. With utmost care I reached EcoSpace at sharp 10am and sad news was awaiting for me. The shuttle had left 30 seconds back! I wanted to scream!!! Now I can take an auto and go to office but the auto driver is definitely going to ask me at least 300bucks as they are too smart to not charge as per the meter. The very thought of even walking back home was frustrating as I knew that I have to once again go through this super-slippery road. But I decided to walk back. With God's grace, I reached home with no fractures and no falling into the gutter with my nice shoes completely spoilt! (Btw, I've quit wearing heels: thanks to the slippery roads!) So finally, I'm working from home! (after publishing this blog)
This is something I need to go through everyday and which makes me feel why am I even going to office! I was planning to take a 2 wheeler but the road conditions really makes me rethink. Will there be any solution to these roads? I don't know! But I really really hope that one day the situation will improve! Till then everyday I keep telling to myself, why this kolaveri di??!!!
