As i start off with the blogging business, n-number of things cross my mind, what do i want to write, what do i want to share. So many things, but then, do i really want all to read? I am yet to decide. Let your mind free and see how wild it can go, is what a close friend of mine says, but i have this habit of holding it tight, crawling back into my shell and not allowing anyone to peep in. Do i sound like an introvert...? nah am not one. But then, i love to be kepe some stuff to myself many a times.

Life came to a stand still yesterday at the silicon valley of karnataka. Yes, life was not at all normal at Bangalore yesterday, because of the bundh called in wake of the ruling given by the Supreme Court of India on the Cavery Water issue. Bngalore is a pretty noisy city, just like any metropolitian city. But yesterday, everyone decided to be at home. Sleep the extra wink, watch an extra hour of TV. Favourite cartoon and God knows what else.

At office, we were told, u can either come to work, if it is ok to come over, else u work on saturday. Now, pray, tell me, who would want to work on a saturday? Much against the wishes of my family, i drove down to office. And what pleasure i had in driving yesterday. Boy! a stretch of 8 kms takes about 20-15 minutes (or even more) with normal traffic, generally everyone is in a tearing hurry, as though their homes are on fire. Each one of us wants to go first. But yesterday, the same distance could be covered in 10 flat minutes. All the main roads were empty. The only sould u could see where the cops with thick batons. I am sure, even they would not love to hit people black and blue, but that's their job right. And ofcourse the rumour mongers had a field day. People taking the opportunity to say, hey! u know what, tension in x road, don't go to y area. We love to scare the shit out of people na? The in-thing about Bangalore, Radio City, went on helping people with their regular feeds of whats happening where. Am sure they might not have got even one jam bustter to mail in yesterday. Wish traffic in Bangalore is always like that. Hardly a vehicle on road. Except for the stray Ambulance, with anxious relatives and the patient, hoping that nobody will stop them midway. But as the sun set, with its prismatic glory, the city got back to its normal pace of life. It was a 12 hour hartal u see...dawn to dusk.

Everyone was very cautious yesterday. No one ventured out. Generally we all love to voice out our opinions. But when the real time comes, all of us follow the KMS (keep ur mouth shut) policy. So much of tension and voilence happening around us, but do we tend to raise our voice at the right time and at the right place? If there is a fight somewhere, we don't want to involve ourselfe, why get into unnecessary trouble is what we say? Are we doing the right thing? Are we creating a safe and secure future for our kids? these are just a few questions which are playing hide and seek in my mind. Can u think of any more? don't u think we need to do something about it?
