And for a Friday ….. in Chennai on a short year end visit …… some thoughts … some musings ……
This New Year’s Eve in Chennai was kind courtesy our Sambandhis who hosted , greeted & treated us most royally … fun , food & frolic……. New Year’s Eve was an “At-Home” affair with Family & friends…… for the last few years given the crowds … the chaotic traffic ….. in whichever city we are …. We restrict ourselves to At-Home Gettogethers…… Clubs , Restaurants & outside locales have become too noisy … crowded & uncomfortable at our age & demeanour…. No Longer fun …. This party in Chennai was was also in honour of our Son & family returning from his three years Japan delegation …….
Chennai ( old Madras) city like all major cities in India is undergoing a massive Metro infrastructure ….. no doubt citizens are facing major traffic snarls & unpredictable travel time …. but the investments in Public transport particularly the Metro will be hugely rewarding & change the City travel & efficiency …… the Chennai Metro Rail Ltd with investments of over 65,000 crores is pioneering with Double decker configuration …. & in some of the very congested junctions there are four levels of underground ……adding a further 118 kms of Metro lines with 128 new stations to the existing 58 kms of Metro with 40 stations …… that’s a big step up which will change Chennai’s ease of transportation & doing business index …
India is changing …. 2026 will be a hockey stick year for the country …… let’s all support the growth the sustainable way ….. the equitable way …. the SEEGOS way.
