Roads in Bangalore resemble a snake N ladder board game. There are so many worthless flyovers (ladders) which taper into narrow bottleneck roads (snakes)!!! And add to it the fact that almost 50% of the arterial roads are one-ways.And what you get at every junction is a feeling of being on number 98 on the board game facing the prospect of dicing that dreaded digit '1' per chance and slide along the snake waiting on number 99...back to square one (btw, is that the origin of this quote??).
To cut the story short, if anyone of you have seen the kader khan movie in which someone asks him for directions, and he says: "Go straight, take left, then again left, then one more left and again a left. Then ask someone else standing here for directions" :-) Well, today more or less same thing happened with me. I was coming back from railway station side and reached an unknown one-way. I asked someone directions for MG Road, and then followed a series of 4 one ways and came back to same spot!!
Maybe I took a wrong one-way somewhere. I could not help but smile:-) God bless this wretched city.
