Dharnas and Rededication day

The long drive to office is getting longer everyday, Actually the roads are getting worser, most of the roads are being dug up for laying pipes/cables , plugging leaking sewage and may be even treasure hunts too :-).

To add to the woes, there was a demonstration by some SC / ST group asking for equal treatment. They were walking along the narrow road - a sizable group of at least a 100 people,walking obliviously in peak hour so the traffic was all blocked for miles behind them. I am not sure how many supporters they have found their cause, but surely there were lots of cursing commuters who were delayed to work because of the jam.

Also up ahead on the way near necklace road and Khairtabad flyover you can spot huge banners of the Congress government which is giving itself a pat on the back for having completed a successful three years, these 5 years are supposed to be full of illustruous milestones as the news papers advertisements point out.

In numerous huge hoardings, CM YSR can be seen smiling and waving his hand benevolently on all below as the "heavenly angel" like party leaders such as Sonia Gandhi and some state dignitaries look out from small circles above. One conspicous absence is PM Manmohan singh, but then every one knows who is the "real" Prime Minister of the country :-)
