mumbai's milling mortals...

Sakinaka junction, Mumbai's one of those hallmark traffic signals which is normally chocked unless the clock is not sweeping between 10pm to 6am, is a typical place where one can experience a 'Mumbai wala' jam. At peak timings, this place can be seen inundated with all kind of vehicles ranging from a cycle to those red giant corporation buses, all scrambling to take over every inch of space vacated by anteceding vehicles. Although two wheelers manage to tunnel their way through the jam, quite often, its a relaxation time for all the four wheelers as Sakinaka guarantees them a miserably comfortable break of atleast 1/2 hr to 45 min. But why do I have to elaborate so much about Sakinaka in my blog? The reason is simple, I'm astonished at bombayites who consider 4 hours of travel everyday as 'normal'.
