Public transport in Gurgaon

2009-07-12T19:49:00.001+05:30

Extremely enthu souls often compare the concrete forest in Gurgaon, but the state of public transport is pathetic. The Rickshaw though is carbon neutral but cannot take you far.

My daughter took this picture yesterday as we drove across the Adyar river bridge also known Thiru-vi-ka bridge. She tried multiple shots, and got this picture as we almost crossed the bridge. Liked it.

Not really the best public transport

This is one form of public transport one saw in Gurgaon. The Rick is carbon neutral but is not very suitable for long distance movement. Also, no AC !

The concrete forest called Gurgaon

If you are a visitor to Gurgaon, the steel and glass surely appears quite impressive. Not sure if the public transport system in this city is half as good as Singapore. Comparison, therefore, may be a little odious.

Not buying chicken here

Please look at the board inside a chicken shop. Till i realized they were mere typos.. If only this was China.

A woodpeckar on the tree.

I spotted a woodpecker up on a tree recently. It is quite unusual to see a woodpeckar in this part of India esp., in such hot weather. And having spotted it, taking a picture was tougher, esp with a phone. See if you can spot the bird in this picture.

The world chess champion played chess with 16 players at the same time. His opponents were mostly children but they did give him a tough time. For those who saw this, it was a moment to remember for life.

Fresh as a fowl

2008-12-15T11:02:00.001+05:30

And as we neared Chennai back, we were quite tired. Except for one person, who was fresh as a fowl. You guessed correctly why. Hint- look for other photo on this page for the clue..

The scene was lovely.

Sadly, there is no way the cameraman could be in the frame...

After a nice trek..

This is what happens after a trip to the hills... Especially if you own the car;-)

Yelagiri continued

When seven of us drove from Chennai to Yelagiri yesterday, it was fun from the moment go. Ye chose to travel in a Scorpio and started early from Chennai. Early meaning 7.30 am ....despite best efforts to start by 6.30 am. Several of the participants dropped out overnight. One reported heavy back pain, another reported the death of a distant grandma. You could blame these on the slight nip in the air;-). Ye reached by 12.30 after several stoppages. It was amazing to see how the Scorpio appears in such high road control. I was impressed. The pedal boats caused thigh and calf ache to some of the participants but my boat won the race very comfortably. We headed for some trek now and that is when i clicked there photos.
