I wasn't very familier with Pune earlier to my marriage...
But when I shifted to Pune and started working, my company was around 13-14 kms away from my home.
So obviously the first question arised was "the route to take" for it.
There were around 2-3 alternatives.. But what everyone insisted was to avoid the Furgussion college road, mainly known as "FC Road"
Reason??? There were many.... the bikers, the voice, traffic jams, pollution and many more....

I became a little bit curious. I actually wanted to "see" the road.
So one day while coming back to office, I decidecd to take that route....
And what I found?? yes there were traffic jams, it was noisy, a little bit polluted too... but at the same time it was also fresh, completely new and extremely live.
It refreshed my memories of the college days.. the guys, girls were in groups, on their bikes, sipping coffee, discussing ideas, completing their projects, preparing for the theatre completitions, chitchatting in general in the hotels nearby, commenting on the latest fashions, doing lots off show off for latest outfits, enjoying the chats/icecreams on the stalls and what not?
I enjoyed the whole atmosphere and in fact started liking that road very much....I started taking that path almost everyday..
Wasn't it hampering my time?? It was actually.
Though, I was loosing a few extra minutes but I was gaining a lot of energy for the rest of the day..
I miss all that today as my company reloaced somewhere else now.

So in case if you don't like FC road at all and you have to pass it for some reason, try looking at it from the this perspective...
It's always better to change our attitude rather than trying to change the whole situation, what say?
