Finally……
Well, what can I say. Politicians change their mind according to their whims or fancies. Else, according to their astrologers advise. Perhaps, Intelligence bureau reports. Perhaps, wife’s advise! Who knows.
All I know is that I was caught unawares for the inauguration, having marked July 15 on my calendar. Anyways, the ceremony was preponed for today morning and duty/conscience prevented me from sneaking off to cover the inauguration.
Still to make up for things, here’s a video preview of a sample ride on the road.
More pics coming up soon!
:)
Will this be the 1st and last time when this flyover is so empty Ravi? ;)
ferrari, u being not here have missed a big chance.. u cld have rode ur ferrari at zoom speed to crash land!! :-) :-)
no other day wld u get such a golden oppurtunity..
My question is why should somebody innagurate only one leg of flyover?? why not throw it open for public..
Why are pedestrians walking on the flyover? Is it that much of a novelty? Are we that much starved for some quality in our lives? Of course, anything new in Bangalore, Rama Rao, Lalithamma, Abdul Sab, Mr. Singh, Mr. Agarwal and Doddaswamappa – have to traverse, review and comment on it!! That’s what you see in your nice video – a Salwar Kameez, a “Rao” with his hands behind his back, perusing other gawkers on the “ply-overu”
@ Ferrari: I guess so…thats a good point. Unless, of course, youwant to check it out in the wee hours of the morning!
@ Kris: the main flyover has been open…the other loops are yet to be complete. Check out todays TOI
@ NParry: hmmmmmmmm. Btw, the flyover was inaugurated but it wasn’t open to the public FULLY when I traversed it! That’s why you don’t see too many vehicles on it!
