A couple of days ago, I read an item in the local newspaper: "Chennai mayor inspects flyover work on GN Chetty Road - says it will be ready by December".
And I thought, "Great! Only six months more (give or take a few weeks) and traffic over there will be running smoothly again."
This morning, I had to visit our company office on GN Chetty Road to take care of some paperwork.
Six more months of this mayhem?!
There is next to no parking on the stretch of the road near our office. Part of it has now become a one-way road (and this traditionally is one of the busiest thoroughfares in Chennai). There are sedans parked in the front parking court of our office, but it beats me how they got there, because there is no viable road to get there from the little strip of tarmac that passes for a road during this construction phase. How do the people who have to work in that area every day--or worse, those who actually live in that area--cope?
Still, as long as I don't have to visit that office again in the near future, "Great! Only six months more (give or take a few weeks) and traffic over there will be running smoothly again."
It's a question of perspective.
