Manic Monday... *groans*

Today today today... Manic Monday! You won't believe what's happening in Kolkata. The government has banned pre-93 vehicles to curb pollution. So around 70000 vehicles have gone off the roads! Tough time for daily passengers... Morning I couldn't get a single auto but somehow managed to get in a bus. Then to reach college I had to take a rickshaw 'cause I was already late. The rickshaw walla charged Rs 10 instead of the usual Rs 8. Fine... that is still ok. When I had to come back that time I was shocked 'cause I hadn't imagined a total absence of autos at the stand. Had to get a share-taxi somehow, by paying Rs 15 instead of the usual Rs 6 in auto... still it's bearable 'cause kolkata is much cleaner now. This green drive is going to help people (the ban should have been imposed long before). In the taxi people were talking about it. Two passengers supported the cause to clean the city and one was grumbling about the inconvenience... So I hope majority is in favour of this. I have had enough of these automobile fumes... Now it's time for "Breathing Free" *smiles* :)
