There wasn't much construction going on either. I don't know why, but the traffic is worse - a whole lot more jams all over.<BR/>Did you see the snap on facebook?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798639260026686429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557651362769702661.post-35014706610880259922008-12-15T02:08:00.000+05:302008-12-15T02:08:00.000+05:30maybe bangalore's clean air is making all the haze...maybe bangalore's clean air is making all the haze appear brighter this time around<BR/><BR/>or could it be the new construction?khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083241735659476266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557651362769702661.post-78326663588201152772008-12-14T20:50:00.000+05:302008-12-14T20:50:00.000+05:30It used to be that there used to be some form of b...It used to be that there used to be some form of balance - there would be an air of decay hanging around some places, but there would also be some new development going on nearby. The basic amenities were passable - the Western Express Highway was fairly smooth at one point, but now it's more like a patchwork quilt, with the flyovers also beginning to crumble. I think there was a traffic jam on the highway at 1 AM on one of the nights I was there.
