TRIVANDRUM -PETTAH - ORUVATHILKOTTA ROAD AT KALLUMMOODU
IT IS A MAIN ROAD 3 KM FROM THE HEART OF THE CITY
ROAD UNDER WIDENING FOR THE PAST 2 - 3 YEARS
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF ON THE TRAVAILS OF CITIZENS
This is a two km stretch. The picture herein is the saga the entire length. Quite a lot of work has been going on, on the road the past couple of months. Riding a two wheeler or driving a four wheeler is a tough proposition here.
Heavy vehicles including school buses are banned. You can walk. You don't know where the ditches are. The road is full of pot holes. You have no idea where they are. If it rains, it is an understatement because rains are here forever, the road is slushy and unmanageable. Pedestrians have the toughest grind. They have to walk the stretch to board the public transport. You have to be wary of the vehicles as you jump and walk. But it is very safe for them as the vehicles can move only on the first gear or the second gear. You can safely cross the road at will, as the vehicles have a hard time negotiating the road that is no longer a road.
By the time the work is completed it is certain you will have to pay through your nose a hefty sum to repair and recondtion your vehicles.
The road tax we pay has to go for the maintenance of the roads. However even no nam ke vaste maintenance is possible here.
The silver line is, as we have the assembly elections in 2026, we are sanguine the work will be completed before that.
Then God will have to save us from the zooming, screaming, roaring vehicles.
We look to that day.
There was an exceptional caption for this photo that was a forward.
Those who successfully negotiate this road can do away with taking the '8' when they appear for securing their driving licence.

ARYAN KHAN s/o SHAH RUKH KHAN DEBUTS
When Aryan Khan took the stage he disarmed the crowd with honesty and wit.
"For the past two-three days I've been trying hard to memorise this speech, in fact,I'm so nervous that I've got this (speech) on the teleprompter also and just in case if the lights go off, I've got the speech written on a piece of paper and I'm carrying a torch as well. Even then, if I still make a mistake, then 'Papa hain na' (laughs)," he said as Shah Rukh Khan turned around to reveal the speech taped to his back. Closing with humility, he added, "If I make a mistake even after all this, then please forgive me as this is my first time."
Reflecting on his son's debut, Shah Rukh Khan said, "When Aryan told me that he is going to make a show on Bollywood, and it will be raw, edgy, and there will be a lot of madness in it..... I thought is he going to put the CCTV footage of Mannat (his house) on YouTube. But he is creating something fresh and unique. It took me a while to catch on, but once I did, I was completely drawn in. I am grateful to this holy land of Mumbai and this whole country, which gave me this opportunity for 30 years to entertain you all. And today is a special day because my son is also taking his first step in this industry. The amount of love that you all have given me, if you can give 100 or 150% of that, then just give it all to him. Give him your blessings."
Sharing the lessons he instilled in Aryan, SRK added, "Aryan is very hard working because we've taught him only two things at home - there's no guarantee of box office success and there's no guarantee that critics will give positive reviews, but when you work hard, there's a full guarantee."
