After a while.

I was in Hyderabad for 2 days. Ostensibly on business. Normally I prefer not to spend a minute more than necessary in that city. I have nothing againest Hyderabd, it's just that I want to be back in my home as soon as possible.
I have some positive opinions about Hyderabad. Good roads, good shopping, famailiar (to me),.. Sadly my 2 day stay shattered some of my long held beliefs. Traffic. It's horrible now. Whatever be the hr, we have traffic jams. What could be the reason? Is it as straight forward as "increase in vehicle population" or is it "changes in traffic regulations?". Whatever be the reason the situation is very bad.
Roads, with recent heavy rains have got spoilt. Why don't we act soon? Bangalore was great. It's a mess now with unmanaged extraordinary growth. Hyderabad used to be reasonably good. But as we are perfectly capable of, we are allowing a mess there too.
:(
Apart from all these, I did my fair bit of shopping and could satisfy my kids. But I am fast running out of options. A call to all manufacturers of world. Please produce more interesting stuff to keep my kids busy and happy.:)
