Catch M21

M21 runs in Tambaram - Vijayanagar route. It stops at Vijayanagar bus terminus. It stops there for about 5 minutes for the conductor to sign in his office. Then the bus goes to the other side to go to Tambaram. It stops there for another 5 - 10 minutes - break time for the driver and the conductor before they start. So there is about 20 minutes time for a passenger to get into the bus. People get into the bus at different places and time. Here are few…

Directly go the terminus, regardless of whether there is M21 or not, and get the bus.

+ Fairly comfortable travel
+ Good time for mobile conversation
- Extra waiting time
- Have to miss the other buses even if they are not crowded

Wait at the other side and go the terminus iff M21 arrives.
+ Works well on the worst case, i.e., no M21 for a long time
+ Even though late, possibilities for getting the seat is nearly 100%
- Might be oblivion of the traffic and run to catch the bus
- Tend to be double minded when the some other bus comes

Catch the bus while crossing the road.
+ Might get a chance to get the few remaining empty seats
- Stupid people, no road sense at all, at times these people create traffic jam, indirectly!
- Risk of falling down as the bus speed varies

Rush into the bus as soon as it stops at the other side.
+ Best case, they get a seat
- Another set of stupid people; there is no need to rush and disturb others, neither the bus starts immediately nor they will get a seat.

Get into the bus without rushing.
+ Bus won't be too crowded, so they can choose a comfortable place to stand
- Often times, they have to miss other buses which are equally crowded but go faster than M21

Catch the bus only when it starts.
+ Options are open and they can take the first bus that leaves
+ Get trained enough for worst cases: can travel in any bus, crowded is not at all a problem.
- Have to be a foot-board traveller

I intentionally leave few more not mentioned ;-)

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu...

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

December Rain - 4

I can query a bit, question a little more, but I don't go any further. I stay with no question at a point where I know I can attempt an inch deeper but I stop there to make myself comfortable and letting all that needs to be questioned and answered be God. Why do people get old, struggle to live and yet no courage to die? Even the divine Soul trembled and cried on the cross in spite of knowing that He would get the eternal of it. Such is the greatness of addiction to this life, the feel of everyday's incompleteness and the longing for the tomorrow. Of course, the breathing of an old man may take a bunch of viruses from the air and save few kids from getting infected. I mean, there is a reason for everything.  For me, the "cigarette smoking causes cancer" shown before the movie is one of the most annoying advertisements - it is ugly. If anything needs to be fixed properly, it has be to dealt at the root. How about stop making cigarettes and have a law to give dea...
