Chennai, Metro & Rail

Metro Rail, a new entity to Chennai! u welcome metrorail. This is going to change the face of the city in phases(3-5 years). The 1st phase is going in full swing from Koyambedu to St. Thomas Mount. The expected timeline of this phase is 2013. lets hope for the best. A change in the government(possibly??) should not drag this project. Though the reps of the present government would have seen crores of money already, n the project goes without any hurdle!
The 100ft road of the city(from Koyambedu to Guindy), its no more so only around 60ft now! the remaining part of the road is occupied for the construction of the rail. Almost this entire stretch is in chaos during the peak hrs and the signals are moved or dont function properly, though the traffic policemen n the workers try to help the moving vehicles in no vain. The remaining part of the road also in bad condition!

The other phases also started nw(though not in full swing!) near Saidapet and Meenambakkam which further slows down the traffic. Jus imagine after an year, construction would have started in most of the phases which will result in chaos in all the major roads:( Apart from these, many flyovers are also under construction! So will the city can handle this???? Any approaches to tackle this?

OK, let me go to the point:)

a day in my life

Today spent 2 hrs in he bus on the return journey from ofc. Though travelled in a MTC Volvo bus, the travel was very uncomfortable(i got the seat too). Jus recovering from fever, the travel worsened the body pain:(
how i spent the 2 hrs! as usual checking facebook from my mobile, again as usual no much updates, tried to download a video from a fb post, it failed in between(7 mb video) as the cellphone signal dropped in between! then downloaded "Show me the meaning" from backstreetboys from longmp3.com. the cool music portal to download songs, it took 15 min for 3.5 mb file. Then downloaded a tech news app from the android market. Dont know wat else to do, even sleep didnt come! usually i sleep atleast 1/2 of my journey!

Usually i start after 8:30 PM and it would take 1 to 1.5 hrs only, today jus tried to start early(7:30 PM) from ofc, thats y it took a loooooong time journey!!

Without my HTC, the bus travel would be soo boring!!!! I think i jus got it at the right time. I need to finish 2 things this week. send the project proposal to IGNOU, its a long time pending task. And get ready with the investment papers for this fin year. Already Px(previous company) deducted my salary heavily as a tax amount till Jan '11 :(((( they didnt even tell that they would be deducting for tax(i would have submitted watever the papers i have). So plan well, so that i wont pay anymore tax for the current year.
