Calls per hour in Bangalore

Human beings usually have five fingers in their hand, but now we are going to see about their sixth finger i mean the cellphone. In last five years, cellphone industry have seen huge profit so as the service providers. There are nine popular service providers in Bangalore city like Airtel,Aircel, Tata Docomo,....
 Each provider records a 50 lakhs call  on a hour basis. So total of 4.5 Crores calls are made on the city for an hour. now think about a day 24 * 4.5 = 108 Crores calls per day . WOW
 Few days back when Earthquake hit Indonesia , 45 lakhs calls are recorded additionally  in addition to 4.5 crore calls per hour. Just imagine the traffic density . It will be huge.

Dont Bribe for getting Driving License

The basic qualification to ride a vehicle is to get the Driving license. In India, getting license is very easy job. if you goto any RTO some agents/brokers will be there, if you bribe some money to them, in no minute you will get the license. For getting two wheeler license , you first need to apply LL R. The application form is 30 /- and after you get LLR, you can get the license in 1- 6 months span.
 The application fees for DL application is Rs.250 /- , but the brokerage charge is 1000 + 250 /- . As a citizen, why we need to pay all these brokerage charges to some agents. The government should take series action against brokers or agents who were doing these activities in RTO's .

Sangita Travels Review

Last weekend we have been to pondicherry to attend one of our friend/colleague's sister marriage. On the return, he booked ticket for us to Bangalore in sangita travels. The bus starting time is 10.30 PM. We collected our passed by 10.15 PM. We got shocked when we saw the bus, we need to travel. They said its a Volvo bus, bit it looked like a normal bus, which has been painted . Adding to our frustration, the bus tyre is punctured. They arranged a new bus, it was also looking like a old one. The ac was not good.
   The Bus started @ 11.00 PM. At 2.00 am, we reached nearby thirvanamali, the bus engine stopped. The driver repaired it for 15 mins  and we went some 40 kms, the bus engine stopped again. Now the driver couldn't able to fix it. But we though they will fix it again, so we went in and slept..
  When we woke up at 06.30 a.m, we got shocked that the bus is in the same place and surprisingly we have seen the driver is also sleeping. We work up him and he said they were waiting for  a mechanic. The mechanic came and he started repairing. I took my android mobile and opened Google maps. I got frustrated , when i saw we were 175 kms away from Bangalore. Finally the bus started, and after 20 kms the bus stopped again.
  Finally the management declared they will fund the entire money. But what to do only with the money. Many of us who's the bus are office goer's  and its in the Monday morning and the time is 08.30 a.m and we were 150 kms away from Bangalore..
 This is one of the worst  planned journey i have made .

Whom to Blame ?

  •  The Driver
    • Whether he didn't check the condition of the bus , before the journey
  • Travels
    • They can arrange a spare bus @ start of journey, but they cant arrange it when the bus got repair in the mid of journey.

Trip to Shivana Samudara

 "Journey will make us feel good always and memorable".This Trip started with Cloudy skies above and cold water below. It Means the water in the waterfall is very cold and the sky is cloudy and the weather is rainy. :) 
This is my first long ride in my bike..

Distance :From Bangalore : 150 kms

Route: Bangalore - Kanakapura - MallaVali -     Shivana Samudara 

Special : Water Falls

We started the trip from Bangalore @ Dec 31st Morning 6.30 am. The Sky was very clear at the time, but when we were riding the bike in Nice Road, it started drizzling. We had breakfast @ Kanakapura and we started our journey, it was raining. So it become difficult for us to race. We were ridding @ a speed of 40- 50 km speed, bcoz the road was damn good, but many hair pin bends are there. We reached the water fall by 11 am . 

First we went on a small boat to the place where the waterfall is there. Since the fall of water is heavy, bathing is prohibited there. So we can enjoy the beauty of water fall from the small boat. For this short trip, you have to pay Rs.50/-  for the boat ride. At max, five people can travel in that boat . That was nice experience.



After that we decided to bath. When we get down into the water, it was so cold. We had a blast time there by sprinkling water and swimming.. One of my friend tried to swim towards the waterfall, but due to the force of water he is swimming in the same place.
We were enjoying the bath for almost  3 hrs , after that we got tired.







When we were starting back the time is 3.00 pm, its sunny and we have decided to race that time . We raced @ average of 80 km/hr speed and we have reached some high speed of 110 km/hr speed. We reached Bangalore @ 5.30 pm in the evening and we got stuck up into new year traffic in banerghatta road.
