"Aah! What a pain in the neck!"..This is something, every Banglorean would moan and tell,when asked about Bangalore traffic.Yeah,commuting for 2 hours to reach your workplace is a common thing here.We could go on and on ranting about this everyday menace but come to think of it,it does have a bright side to it..Yeah,I know...It sounds crazy to say something nice about traffic jams..But every quintessential "swalpa adjust madi" Bangalorean would definitely nod with me in accord.After all we Bangloreans always look at the sunny side up..Don`t we.?
So when stuck in a traffic jam what is it that we do?.Yell in frustration,mumble on and on about how the flyovers, instead of easing our traffic jams are adding to the woes..Hmm.. yeah we do..But how long .Once we take out our frustration and have taken a "chill pill"(Yeah,am on a roll with Bangy slang..),there is a whole new thought process running in our grey cells.
Contemplating on our lives or how the colleague in the next cubicle is damn cute(!!) or pondering about finally hitting the gym to get in shape or perhaps even calculating a new proposal for the next client meeting.
After all it`s like a much needed avenue for venting out your anger,I mean when you yell or curse in frustration,you are getting rid of all the pent up anger.bitterment . It`s like a psychological clean up process..Apart from that i would have to say you also get much needed time to introspect..The best of my poetic works have their genesis in the ring road jams..
I am not endorsing the traffic jams or anything, especially in winters,when i would have to get up early in the chilly morning to be on time in office....But definetly saying that it ain`t all that bad for in our otherwise jam-packed life,we get a breather for a minute..

@chiku
As i said,it is always sunny-side-up for me..:-)
Traffic Jam eh? Have not seen one in a while; being in a University town. But yeah that kind of explains any possible drop in my creativity :P
Ha ha ha...You surely added some more pointers as to why I should love the Bangalore Jams...Really nice to see people are not at all in two minds in accepting the fact that these jams really are a vital source in our daily life. I also get my 1.5 hours to and fro naps in the company bus...I'm loving it:)
