30 mins !!!!

Hi all......I know its been quite sometime now that I have blogged. So, thought of penning down my experience in a stand-still 'Traffic Jam' for an unbelievable 30 mins. Ohhhh my godddd .... I can't even think of things that could have and can be done in these 30 mins :) .... neways.

It was quite a sunny day and ofcourse the most loathed day of the week 'MONDAY'. I started off on my two-wheeler with the wonderful moments of the weekend spent and the dreaded feeling of getting back to work and having to slog at the work-place for the next 5 days, with the wonderful lyrics of 'Angel' by Shaggy playing in the background and by then I never realized that I was already in HPS, Begumpet, the place where you find vehicles literally creeping. And, on that paricular day, I was astounded to find the jam packed traffic coming to a stand-still position which was atleast 2-3 kms long. Being a strict follower of the rules nd regulations, I thought of relaxing the same for sometime coz my headgear was getting a lil too heavy for my small head, and thats when I decided to notice the different attitudes of people around me. Everything seemed to be well and silent for the first 5 mins, the 6th minute things happened to turn flip-flop, there was noise from every possible direction. Before you all begin to wonder what the noise was, lemme tell you that it was the different ringtones right from 'Right here Right Now' to 'Om Jai Jagdish Hare' ringing from the mobiles and the different tones of 'Hello, I would be late!!!!'. For a moment, I felt a lil out of place coz I was the only person in the traffic who wasn't receiving or making a call and that was when I realized the extent of progress in technology which has made us handicapped without them. The beauty of the entire scenario lies in the fact that this noise continued for the next 24 mins with the thankful interruption of the clearing traffic-jam, else, I still wonder as to what would have happened to me !!!!!!!

Here, I would like to extend my heart-felt thanks to the traffic police for coming to the rescue of my poor ear drums at the right time :) !!!!!!!!!!!
