Bangalore will surely develop!!!

I was on my way to college around 11.30 in the morning as I was attending only the second internals today. Near Rajarajeshwarinagar, I happened to see an accident. There were no threats to life but it was a Road roller which had crashed into two electric poles. The electric poles were damaged and the whole road was blocked. I cursed the driver as I had to take a very long route while trying to avoid this road. I made a mental note not to take this way for another 2-3 days before they repair the whole thing. It took me an extra 5 minutes and I reached the college to attend my internals. 

I had forgotten all about the accident in college, as I was more concerned about doing the internals well as I had to get a 25 in order to make my average 25.. I did it well and spoke for some half an hour with my friends and started towards my home. It was around 3.30. When I reached the same road, I remembered about the accident and I hated myself for forgetting it all this while. I could have taken a whole new route from college and reached home faster. I was imagining about the road block, the traffic jam, the hot sun, the way I had struggled in the morning amidst the cars and made my way out.. Suddenly, I realised that I had passed that road completely. Not even a slightest hint of the accident. 

I was afraid I had hallucinations about the accident and had been imagining things. I went back to the place of the accident and noticed that they had repaired the electric poles so well that there was not a single flaw in the pole. I have never heard a good opinion about BESCOM for years. I started to leave. All the way home I was happy to see their efficiency as they had managed a lot of damage with expertise and perfection in such a short span. Bangalore will definitely develop if people take more interest in making things work faster and more efficiently.
