Lets blog ...
Its been a long time since I wrote in these pages. Actually its been over a month now. Nothing too much done or that has happened over this time. After the bombs went off.
RANDOM BLOGS OF WOOD
Compensation
I had heard that the govt. was going to cut income tax from the compensation amount that was given to the families of those killed in the blasts. A nice way to rake in your own money. Its a double-edged thing - lessen the population and earn more. We do have a great finance minister.
Freedom
Independance Day. Flags fluttering. Speeches. Promises. Rain. And then go back to your sweat and pain. The flag does help.
Lies
Saw a website to detect lies. The last line was good : Be careful how often you use this with your friends. If you are always looking for lies, you may soon not have any friends. Use wisdom.
BEST Passes
The GFN (Good-For-Nothing) BEST has introduced a daily pass scheme. You can get a ticket of 50 bucks and roam around in any bus (except AC's and Exp.) till mid-night. Good scheme but likely to fail .... the passes will be available only at depots ( perhaps only Wadala !! ) - so first troop upto W and get your pass. That means having spent some 12 bucks and one hour (on an average) getting to W. So time and money wasted. Instead why cant the normal bus conductors issue the pass in the buses. Ask for a "Pass-Ticket" so that it can be used for the rest of the day.
Lets be positive
The BEST should also introduce monthly anywhere-anybus-anytime passes. Like the train boys have. But are we being too positive.
Water and 4.5 m and high tides
Its been raining. And no signs of stopping. Frustration all over. Floods. Drains. The BMC says that if the tide goves over 4.5 m the city will flood. This is because the drain flood gates are at 4.5 m and if the sea level goes over that level then water cant drain out. Now the thing is that a lot of people think that if its high tide it will rain heavily ( and vice-versa too !!! ) !!! . So the BMC plays it safe and cool. Johny and his boys go on drinking sprees while the city swims in flood waters. They just blame it on the tides and continue drinking. And by the time the city folks realise the truth ( after reading this blog ) , its already past the monsoon and has stopped raining. So Johny goes on his drinking spree till next June ... No wonder Johny is an IAS.
LNL
I had been to LNL some time back. Fortunatley it wasnt raining too much on those days and so could see around the place in considerable detail. It was nice going upto the viewing points and all. The entire place and the ghat sections were covered in green. This is indeed the best time to visit LNL. And another good decision was not to go on a weekend , for then LNL is more crowded than a BVI local. I was surprised to know that LNL is at around 600-700 MSL whereas SBC is around 900 MSL. LNL is a hill station.
