Monday comes with its attendant woes for road-users !

Heyyllooo !

Monday for most people is the beginning of a new week, preferably a better seven days than the last, right ?

But one has to leave home in peak hour, that too in a car, to realise that anyday, two are better than four. I mean wheels. Of course, while getting caught in a typical jam, listening to R-Mirchi and with air-conditioner in silent (I mean first position) can have a meditative effect.

But still, come on, nothing can be worse than looking at two-wheelers zipping past you - left, right n centre and re-winding 'why-I-did-not-take-my-bike-out' feelings. OKAY. Anyway, coming to a typical place where a jam can b witnessed once school re-opening is close at hand is the stretch on which the reputed St. Ann's School is located in Sec'bad.

The way, parents' vehicles take up road space is like too-too, or three-three or even four-four much. I mean why dont educated parents park their two n four-wheelers closer to the school's compound wall. Forget it yaar ! Hyderabad-mein aiseech hota !

The preliminary outrage apart, once that stretch was behind my vehicle, I just could not help thinking seriously - Why doesn't or what prevents the management n teachers of a supposedly illustrious school to instill road sense among children from a tender age when their thought processes can be moulded.

Of course, it also means parents' mindsets have to change. But then look at it another way. The management of such a famous school does not extend cooperation to the civic authorities and give up some space when the municipal-wallahs go in for road-widening ! What can you do in such a case ?

Its not as if there are no answers. Its a matter of a wee bit of political will and more of administrative willingness to take some seemingly-tough measures !

All de best folks !
