One of the latest events to have made lot of noise in Bangalore was the opening of the new International airport. Yes, the airport is located out of the urban spread and it demands you to travel out into the uninhabited for close to 35km.
To those of us, who were so used to HAL Airport, this came as something unacceptable. That we have to travel so far, we have to start so early, we have to bear the traffic, we have to shell out so much money, we have to etc....
All who travel, travel. But the travel from City to the Airport was made up to sound like its gonna be a ride into the wild wild west ! 35 km... my my can you believe. You dare don't ask me to do it. Reasons given by these criers made it sound all the more discouraging.
Well... actually the distance is there. Yes its 35 km, but the roads arent that bad, facilities for travel are almost there. BMTC buses plying AC schedules, Taxi's a plenty. What was it that made all shout....
Nothing, absolutely nothing. As we always do .. just for the sake of it, without actually understanding realities, we all shout.
