Road Tax ?
On Monday, the last calendar day of July, I had been on a bike trip.
An official one, it was. 62km in total.
The route was the very infamous (among the IT community) Hosur Road.
(nicely nicknamed HR).
The morning trip was cool - given the fact that I entered the "infamous"
stretch at madiwala by 7.30AM and e-gressed* from HR by 7.55AM.
I even went to the stretch of generating electrical signals in my brain
which deciphered to "Why do all these ppl make so much of fuss about HR?"
I got a feel of what ppl call 'traffic' in the evening..
What took 20-25 odd mins in the morning ran into 1 long hour!
That too, there was not an inch of space on the flat, levelled portion
of the medium - which ppl call road.
I had the privilege - rather, my bike tyre had the privilege - to touch the
road for a few select seconds. All other time, it was mountain-biking.
Why am I paying Road tax ???????!!!
But in the end... the interesting and worthwhile(?) fact is..
I reached back in one piece :-)
* -> jargon usage is apologised. I wanted to stress on the point that
I had been to the EC office, thru HR, for an L2/L3 training..

L2/L3? Is that the 0.67 you said? :D
@others

:-S
Am i a bit confused?
What was that comment, Amarula ?

humph! all that noise for having travelled on HR for 4 days! Imagine the plight of poor souls travelling in buses (yeah,advtg here,get to touch the road for more than few select seconds..actually much longer than needed..cos it never moves!!) on the HR EVERYDAY of the year! I hereby declare 2 drops of tears for them.. :-(
The souls in buses hav an edge..
That the souls will be intact at the end of the journey.
Bikers have no such guarantee..
Its not a 'guranteed-service' traffic (as in VoIP). But its a 'best-effort' traffic (as in IP) !
