Oh-so green today!

I am very proud to report that I bicycled to work today! It is a 4.5 KM stretch, I had been feeling guilty to take the car for this short a distance, and the city buses on this stretch are so crowded I was sweating it out anyway.

Started from home at 7:30am in my gym clothes, with a change of office gear in my lappie backback. eguy and trg saw me off, with trg saying 'chykail'.. Took the inclined inside roads of east bangalore, lined with houses donning fresh rangoli at their entrances, the Ganesha temple busy with activities and trees full of seasonal pink blossoms! Moved over to the main road and rode on the pedestrian side (facing the oncoming traffic). It felt safer that way, inspite of cars and buses zooming by. Wrapped a scarf I had taken over my head and nose to avoid the dust.





Reached work in 15 minutes - same as that a car would take with the traffic congestions, and less than the time the bus would take with its many stops. Yippppeee!!



Feeling good! Wish me grit so that I can persist on this hike!
