Traffic

What is it with me and the traffic? Do they follow me or I just get enmeshed in the chaos? Whatever it is, I must have lost half my life manning the steering wheel of my car. First it was Bombay (Sorry, I have still not gotten used to calling it Mumbai) and now the ever maddening roads of Gurgaon and Delhi.

I intentionally left today at 10 hoping desperately to avoid the swarms of cars, autos and buses but as luck would have it, I still reached office in 2 hours. Am I losing an hour of my management time because of commuting? Am I also losing out on spending some quality time with my significant other? Or do I need to get smart and understand time management better?

Whatever it is, in my list of ever increasing problems, traffic has clawed on the top.

The other option is to hire a driver and spend the travelling time on my laptop doing work, however; for some reason I have not gotten used to having faith on drivers. Either they drive recklessly thinking they may give competition to some of the F1 drivers or they steal money while filling petrol.. I can live with the thought of being driven fast but getting cheated is something that I have zero tolerance for..

As you can see, my confused state of mind refuses to think rationally. Those who have read my blog, please kindly suggest some panacea for my problem.. May be your suggestions would reduce some of my problems.

Stay safe people..

Cheers
