If you expect to speed your car anywhere in the streets of Kolkata , then behold , the Oracle of today says an emphatic NO. Kolkata is destined to be a city wallowing in the past glory and accustomed to drive the lane of progress slow and with jitters.
All over the city there are construction works going on for the Kolkata Metro initiatative. Theis has caused the most discomfort to all of us . There is an uncanny tendency of Kolkatans to honk at every street junction , hoping that the all mighty GOD will let his car whiz pass the clogged street in a jiffy, adds salt to the injured soul.
The only place spared for us is a stretch of road on the EM Bypass where you can ride your car at a speed , which is decent enough compared to international standard.
Thats where the commoner gets a taste of freedom. It's this small stretch of road which lets you feel , that yes you can conquer the world, no speed breakers , be it the long lasting CPI(M) or the ultra anti-left Mamata , can play spoilsport in your way.
A small piece of cake in this sweltering , polluting and problem ridden city. Lets hope that we continue to smile and let others smile. Jai Ho !!!!
