After 5 years of driving my bike to work everyday, and two accidents later, i started using public transport to go to work and to my utter surprise i'm loving the new kind of experience. I stay in bangalore's suburbs far away from the hot commercial areas of old bangalore and due to this i end up travelling 60 KM everyday. Bangalore's road network and the resulting traffic jams are needless to say, a nightmare! which is the reason why i used to prefer my trusty bike/car if i wanted to get to work on time here. Not anymore though, as i started using the bus i learnt quite a lot of new stuff about my city in which i have lived for the past 24 years being oblivious to its sustaining support systems and the people.
Its amazing how much you learn by just observing your surroundings and how many new friends you can make by leaving your oft beaten path. The added plus is that i'm contributing to the environment by cutting down significantly on my carbon :) I'm really happy about this and will be richer by atleast 50K by the end of the year by way of savings on fuel.
Now that is a New year resolution which makes sense and money! ;)
