What struck me most when I visited Bangalore recently was the extent of road work being undertaken all around the city causing diversions every few miles as you move along even in the main arteries . There are fly overs or underpasses almost everywhere under construction throwing up a lot of dust and rubble.

I really wonder how some one commutes daily for work in such an environment.Come on – you can’t dig up the who;e city together in the garb of development. There should be a method in this madness after all.

The authorities seems to tying to catch up rather late after sleeping for a long time , when the city was overtaken by the IT Revolution in the 90’s and 2000’s . The new metro rail hardly supports the logistic requirements . A quantum jump in the number of private cars has also added to the misery.

Overall , to a visitor , the city [ once a garden city ] looks like a perennial “work in progress” with no end anywhere in sight.
