Driving Sense
The traffic scenario in bangalore is divided among 4 players
1. The Monsters Brutual Urban Service a.k.a Bus
2. Weird autorickshaws with crazy messages on top
3. The Misguided Two wheelers and lastly the
4.Cars, trucks and others spewing up smoke

BUS
The don of all the other players, likes to drive in full throttle (brakes are either non existent or not used ) Legend has it that these drivers were once novice cyclists.They still have this characters in them that they turn these buses within a radius of 4.5 mts ...
Main characters include honking incessantly at signals even though a red light is glowing Will stop at non existent bus stops sometimes in the middle of the roads . The private ones are very awful ,keeps u wondering how a bus can accomodate so many ppl and yet move.They think that roads are their own private property.These guys rule the road and
my advice dont go near it ..

Autos
These mavericks have a foul language and are close cousins of the bus drivers,they take u for a ride literally Every artery is choke- a- block with these three wheelers,Their motto in life care a damn to other motorists... drive like barbarians on a rampage...and rely on
uncanny knack of squeezing through any gap.If two autos coming from opposite directions meet they wave hands and stop in the middle of the roads shake hands and discuss about life's problems and as about you well ....make your own road that's what they say. Higly unpredictable and can turn any way they like If u are following them most
likely u will since no one will allow you to overtake them my advice would try and predict which way they will go ...really a tough one .. watch out for these guys


Trucks Cars and others
Late entrants to the traffic scenario but no less crazier than the others..These guys comprise of call center pick and drop vehicles... are known to beat the sound barrier and no lane is small enough for them Try driving in the night you can see these predators prowling in their Qualis , Sumo and other SUV's.etc , travelling at break neck speeds nothing seems to stop them not even humps , craters (pot holes) these guys would give serious competition to the Moto cross champions


Two wheelers : a.k.a misguided missiles known to check the speed limit and other motorist's endurance ... main potent weapon is the horn which they use it more than accelerator or brake... General characterstics include swerving , trial of speed, not caring
a damn about the yellow lines, cant wait till the red signal turns to green...all the other symptoms of road rage can be found in this species.....

busy doing nothing .. That's how i would describe the last few days Spending the time in company with Lord of the Rings...the life styles of hobbits ... and the adventures with the ring . The good thing about this book is the style in which the story is narrated, and the characters fit into the story as if they are tailor made be it the ring bearer Frodo or his best friend Sam or the great wizard Gandalf,the gollum,even the dwarf Gimli endears you. The old story truimph of good over evil has been conceptualised well giving clear insights into the life of hobbits , wizards, the kings and even the evil Orcs ,just when you are about to feel that the book is getting a little too predictable , a twist in the tale awaits you around the corner . The best part of the book(so far) is the description of the battle , the seige of Gondor ..
Overall Middle earth has been made picture perfect ...more about it later .. back to ground zero
