The usual rash cab driving

I was driving to office amidst usual traffic worsened by cab drivers with rash driving. As expected a cab overtook me, almost kissing my car. I could not do much at that moment, noted down the registeration number and followed the cab. Landed up in a BPO compny near ITPL, The security did not allow me in. I talked to the head of admin department, he invited me in. He requested me to give a written complaint, i did. Within 10 mins he showed me a letter, which was suspension order for cab driver.
Surprising, isn't it? But sometimes pursuasion pays off(stating this with hope that he really gets suspended! planning to check it tomorrow.)
I lost around 40 mins in all these, but at the end of it i am satisfied :-)

The Responsible Corporates




The Bangalore, also known as the IT capital of India, is witnessing a total collapse infrastructure as far as traffic is concerned. Don't blame it only on docile government, lack of civic sense by public and corporates is equally responsible for it. Please find few snaps attached, which proves how the Bangalore corporates add to the traffic chaos. These snaps clearly indicate that one of the IT giants, Tata Elxsi, is using roads as their parking lot.



I also tried to get in touch with the company admin department, but they were not concerned at

all. Nobody has any rights to use the roads and foot-path to park vehicles. I have also sent these pictures to an e-mail address (dcomeast@bcp.gov.in) found on the bangalore poilce website, but I have not got any reponse from any one of them. I also tried calling the traffic control room but the langauge is the barrier, looks like they always accept complaints in the regional language only.
