Well as I write this it is already 12:35 in the night and its 8th March.
Happy Women's day to the women folks here. Well it applies to those not on Mylot as well. Of course, not much wishes to those among women folk who are with evil forces. (Evil is evil- Men or Women does not matters). Yet let us leave that to some other discussion!!
So on Saturday and Sunday I was in some traveling. And back to ...
Well traffic... traffic .. slow moving, risky driving traffic and so on.
Even with big flyovers, wide roads, traffic issues in Delhi never seem to go away.
Plus today I had an experience of driving on a clover loop on a flyover. And well it was empty when I was driving for most of the part.
I felt odd. We do not have habit of totally emptiness on the roads here. After some time, another vehicle appeared behind, so I felt better. Plus such loops, which are sometimes at a big height should be very very strong!
I missed on some action on Mylot on Saturday as I was in a place with bad Internet connectivity. The connectivity has worsened in that place in the last few years and the telecom providers are not able to do much.
Well life is always about surprises and challenges. Well I now get ready for taking my sleep.
Happy Monday!

Yeah caught well in time !!
The traffic can be huge sometimes.
Plus driving with always on mask for 1 to 2 hours makes it even tougher.
I do pull it down sometimes but not for long as we have heavy penalties.

In November, we were once penalized. We had masks in our hands but had taken off for a while.
We did argue a bit with the traffic cop but it did not yield much.
Now we are more careful.
Yet some states and cities in India still have high cases but they do not have this rule whereas they should have it.

Yes indeed. May be US would need to have more traffic cops as well for doing so. The results would however justify doing so.

If one has been through seeing lots of vehicles and suddenly somewhere there are no vehicles around, it causes one to think !!
Plus Internet connectivity is so vital these days !

It is about developing habits. Till early 2000s, we used to live with only fans and air coolers.
Yet now we cannot do without ACs.

Somehow till early 2000s, humidity levels were a bit lower as well. Yet now it is very tough at times to manage without AC.

Yes and tackling heavy traffic and that too with wearing mask all the time can be tough.

Yet you would not have that many people and vehicles.
