Road median? What's that? - Update 1

Nisho, the fastest photographer in South Bangalore, has finally manged to take a few snaps of vehicles crossing over the road median. That's right!

Today morning, I was determined that I should expedite the whole process of informing the media about this. I packed my camera and I was out on my mission (I was actually on my way to the office). I stopped at a few places where the median was actually at a lower level than the road itself and clicked a few pictures of its sad status. I did manage to get a few good snaps but unfortunately there weren't any vehicles crossing over the median on that particular spot. "No problem", I thought to myself. I had another 10 kms to go before the median actually stands up to its name.

2 kms further, I stopped at another low lying median area where there were actually shattered glasses on the road, obviously from a vehicle's windshield. This vehicle probably was a victim of the median crossing. Anyway, I stopped my bike again and clicked a few more snaps of the crime scene. Still no pictures of vehicles in the act.

Another 2 kms passed, and I stopped near the Innovative Multiplex at Marathahalli. Here, I finally managed to get a few good pictures of bikes and a car blatantly jumping the median. There were a lot of bystanders nearby wondering what the hell I was doing taking pictures of the road. They must have thought I was a tourist ;-) That works fine for me. I would be lying if I said I wasn't slightly scared of the public or of the offenders of whom I clicked the pictures. But I survived. No one cared if I was taking their pictures. They probably would have posed for it if they had a choice.

I intend to take more pictures tomorrow, if I can. I'd like to get a truck or a BMTC bus in the act. Lets see if my luck permits that tomorrow.

Sadly I forgot to take along the data cable for my camera and I would not be able to post any of the pictures today. But I promise you'll all get to see it tomorrow.

I will also be writing in to all the major newspapers and also to Times Now tv. They have a program called Action City where they encourage viewers to send in reports like this about their city.

I'll be an extremely happy resident of Bangalore, if something good comes out of all this.
