Giant Ants Crawling....

At 8 o'clock in the night on my way back home, I see giant ants crawling...errr I mean vehicles moving at a pace slower than a passing by bicycle. This is not just once or twice but almost everyday, and don't be surprised, I'm talking about the IT city or the so called Silicon Valley of India....yeah you're right *Bangalore*.
There are traffic jams everywhere, and by look of the things moving along I wonder if the State Government is even bothered to take a sneak peak through its window. Bangalore is taking a beat down at the hands of the IT industry and also at the hands of its reluctant government, who just refuse to step up and do something about it. If they are really doing something then I bet after 20-30 years we can surely see minor improvements. The way people deal with this situation is even worse, look at those bike riders who don't even leave the footpaths (which I think is primarily built for pedestrians). Seeing the way vehicles passing by, missing each other by merely an inch really freaks me out. I love driving cars but if they say in Bangalore "No Thanks" ;)
I am sure situation can handled in a much better way, than it is being handled now (if it is being handled et'll). I recently heard government coming up with a new rule "Even days, cars with even number should be on the roads and vice versa", not sure to how much extent this will succeed. The way I see it, if I'm rich I'll buy two cars with both even odd numbers, if I'm poor I wouldn't care anyway, and if I'm a middle man and can afford a car worth 2 or 2 and a half lacs I'll probably buy two Tata Nanos with that much amount. There has to be some more intelligent thinking which can atleast control the increasing traffic jams if not reduce it. Although the problem is much bigger than what we see but it is not unsolvable.
Till the time there is any foreseen change, my advise to all the IT aspirants eyeing a job in their dream company in Bangalore, beware of the Giant Ants Crawling!!! ;)
