October 4th – Be Prepared!
So there is going to be a bandh on October 4th, as most of us already know. It is most likely that your employer might decide to declare the day as holiday and make you work on one of the days in coming weekends. I got to hear that some of the bigger IT companies have already declared the day as holiday. And most likely that most of the shops and utilities will be closed till evening, and buses and autos will be off the road. So be prepared in advance for closure. If you are one of those single fellas who eat out all the time, you would do good to stock up some ready-to-eats. Others would do good to stock up perishables like milk, curd, vegetables etc. And if you think you will be bored with nothing much to do, bring home some DVDs to kill time.
With the assembly session in Belgaum, I think Maharashtra was given a strong enough message that makes the bandh redundant. But with not much that can be done about it, lets hope it remains peaceful and no one is troubled.
