Take(ing) diversions

Whenever I come across these words,"Take Diversion", I am so reminded of Vivek's dialogue in a Vijay movie. I have wondered if it would even happen!. But, surprisingly I witnessed it today.

My sister and I wanted to do a small bit of shopping in Pondy Bazaar. We decided to get in to a share auto(!) due to time constraint. Traveling from West Mambalam to Kasi Arcade( Pondy Bazaar) it took us 60 minutes. Wait a second!.. Did I say One hour. Yes, I am right!. It took us solid one hour to reach there... It was not because of the

- traffic jam

- mad rush/crowd wanting to shop in the city's shopping base - T Nagar.

Thanks to the traffic Police(festive season, election galatta). The diversion from Duraiswamy subway was a real DIVERSION!. Yes, just to go to Pondy Bazaar, we got(!) the privilege of traveling for one hour passing- Rangarajapuram, Kodambakkam, United India Colony, Mahalingapuram, 2 overpasses ( just a few minutes away from my office), North Usman Road, Panagal park...huh... I am tired... finally reached Pondy Bazaar. When the driver took a turn and looked for alternate routes, I began to think if he is by any chance crossing my area... so much detouring..

Poor driver - he had so much amount of patience!..

By the time, we reached there, our interests levels crashed and we started wondering when we will get back home!.Guess, this is how T Nagar is going to be or even worse in the years to come!
