i love my country...but am getting frustrated...

anyone can provide the statistics on the # of cars on the road at any one time vs public buses?

in normal 3 lanes road, one is delicated to buses....it is called the BUS LANE....you get a fine if u drive on that lane....but at any one time....the other 2 lanes are jam pack with cars for at least 5km while there is not a single bus in sight....

is it an efficient use of resources????

i know the agrument is to encourage pple to give up cars and take public transport...but aren't u (the policy maker...yes you....i'm talking to u) a car-driver too....will u give up your car.....if u can't, why expect others?

well....my agrument is....we work hard...we use our intelligent, our time, our energy.....all our resources to achieve whatever we have to be driving on the road...in our own car.....compared to pple who choose to take the public transport....

Taj Mahal - partial

i went to Delhi with great anticipation....that i'm finally going to see the taj mahai
i left Delhi with regret on 29 Sept evening....i spent 4 hrs of journey from delhi to agra and another 4 grueling hours back...
just to arrive there to be stopped at the entrance bcos the place is closed to public due to a VIP visit...u will never understand the anguish i felt at that time....
the ground will be open to public at 4pm which is impossible for me as i have a plane to catch in delhi in that same evening....my friend said "this is India, get use to it!"
in the end....we are left with only Another View of Taj Mahal and S$250 poorer

World 2nd longest beach

i was at the world 2nd longest beach in Chennai
glad i came and take a look....was debating to come because the sun has set and it was pretty dark...but the crowd are still sitting around....enjoying their sunday nite out....
and the sand is so smooth and stretch quite a distance into the sea.....what a great difference....compared to those we had back home....

a pity i didn't have my camera with me...
got to wait for my friends to send me some snaps...
