First time

I got my car to the office for the first time this Monday. I have been using the Mysore Road for the past 5 years now and I always thought MR traffic (Mysore Road) was much better compared to the other roads in Bangalore and yes it was…. on my bike.

We (meaning, the 2 wheeler community on MR) have a separate dedicated lane for our vehicles, which is a small gap between the footpath and actual tar road, which is much faster than the big road beside. No such luck for cars and worse that there is no separate lane for Maruti Alto cars.

I would have had to apply for a half a day leave if I was late by few minutes more. Luckily I could find a parking slot in our parking lot and it took me 15 minutes & the help of a watchman, building supervisor and our office assistant to park the car in the right slot. I was very proud of the total team effort.

Late in the evening, a “special guest” was to come the Mcdowell office above us and I was told I wud have to remove my car if the guest’s car was too big to accommodate. The thought of reversing the vehicle, finding another slot and parking it made my coffee taste bitter. Luckily I dint have to, as both the cars could find place. Thanks to Mallya's driver. :-)
