2008-04-29T09:37:00.001+05:30

Tuesday - The garbage collection contained almost smashed a small car near Bund Garden making the traffic hard to move during the busy hours.
Everybody is in hurry during the busy hours.. trying to get ahead and in turn making the traffic jam.

The road - construction/ patching-up on old bridge is also causing major slow for the traffic flow.

* The photograph shows commuters shamelessly standing over the Zebra crossing making the pedestrians to walk in the middle of the road.

Nothing remained!

Today is Earth Day!

2008-04-22T14:10:00.001+05:30

Earth Day is a name used for two different observances, both held annually during spring in the northern hemisphere, and autumn in the southern hemisphere. These are intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment. The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March equinox, a tradition which was founded by John McConnell in 1969. A second Earth Day, which was founded by Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in the late 1960s, is celebrated in many countries each year on April 22.

We Can't Wait

2008-04-17T10:33:00.001+05:30

May it be the railway track or a traffic signal, we Puneities, have no time to wait... We are addicted to hurry and emergencies.... We fear we may get late for office.. school, college, appointment.... Errrr...!! It seems like a competition to DIE FIRST is on!

Consider the Ghorpadi Railway Gate: The stupid people are always found standing on the wrong sides of the gate to go first. I wonder, how shameless these creatures!!
They try to pull their two wheelers out of the closed gates even the train is close... No Fear, boss!

By the way, The Ghorpadi Railway gate is supposed to be closed on 18th and 20th April 2008 for some time. The time is still not displayed on the board at the gate, but you get this noticed and aware, if you are daily commuter.

The Adlabs chowk: This is the great spot to observe the traffic rules. Most of the traffic is supposed to go towards the IT park or to Viman Nagar area, which no doubt proves these people are educated and skilled IT persons .... But do they follow traffic rules. NO! They DO NOT!

The stickers at the back on their vehicles shows they work for some of the GREAT companies. And doing so [breaking rules] they even harm the brand image too!

Andhra Special: Veg Dish and Biryani

2008-04-14T15:16:00.001+05:30

Everybody is aware of Pune's famous Biryani brands like Blue Nile, SP's, Durga and Gopi .. But there is another name to consider when it comes to "taste the different".
Some shops with "Andhra Mess" and "Andhra Biryani" are seen in famous areas of IT companies.

The biryani with a slight "salty taste" is too tasty comes with a gravy and a curd bowl. Charged at Rs. 70 - 75, is a full lunch or dinner for single person.

One the other side, at Andhra Mess, the unlimited Veg-thali comes at Rs. 35 - 40 is also a good choice for Veggies. It comes with some 5-6 different vegetables, curd, pappad, chutney and a sweet-dish!

Try out if you find any Andhra restaurant nearby!

Railway Crossing at Ghorpadi

2008-04-09T09:26:00.001+05:30

Daily new scenes can be seen at the Ghorpadi railway crossing! As seen in the photographs, cyclists, pedestrians have no fear.
They cross it like a childs' game...
I remember the scene from movie GHULAM in which Aamir Khan run and win against the running train and thought that how difficult that would be. But seeing these stuntmen daily, I think they are better performers than him.

Ooh yes, I heard that a DESI version of FEAR FACTOR is coming soon!
How about shooting the episodes here in Pune.. I think, they wont get better situations and stunts anywhere!

Ghorpadi railway gate
2008-04-05T14:20:00.001+05:30

Rules? My foot!
The traffic jam at Ghorpadi Railway gate joining to BT Kawade road is a daily hectic for daily commuters. The railway crossing hardly takes 5-10 minutes but the traffic jam after that takes 10-15 minutes more to regulate the jam. This is simply because of the misbehavior by the people. People traveling towards Kalyani Nagar and BT Kawade Road very often stand and try to get first from the wrong side. Though most of them are well educated and working professionals from Kalyani Nagar and Viman Nagar IT parks, they simply behave like a shameless creature to overtake from wrong sides. Most of them, very often try to pull their two-wheelers from the closed gates!

Unbelievable!!
