You head to a picturesque hill station for a weekend getaway, seeking respite from the daily grind of traffic. However, a Kunwar Yatra is jamming the highway with caravans blasting loud music, leaving you exhausted after just a few hours of accumulated joy.
Next, you embark on a religious trip, a 200-kilometre journey that should take no more than four hours. But overnight construction work has caused a diversion through a single-lane kutcha road, trapping you in a traffic jam.
Then, you attend a corporate retreat, immersing yourself in luxury for two days. The group tour in a high-tech bus is filled with laughter, gaana bazaana, and pure masti. But as the bus slows down, someone checks the Google Map and discovers a 45 minutes jam ahead near a river ghat. People are taking dips to observe a holy occasion.
Is there a normal time to travel in peace and with a guaranteed time on the road? Why is there such uncertainty once you step out of your house? Is it the infrastructure gap, the unmanageable crowds, or is it simply me overreacting to the normalcy in India?
