Dear PM sir,
We truly believe that a true leader is the one who can think as a common man , think from the side of common man, and stay with a common man, to understand how the people are leading their day to day lives to sustain themselves.
Your great presence as Prime Minister of India, made us think about reaching you for justice, when ever and where ever it is needed, with great respect, since you came from the stage of a common man and now standing like stage for entire nation. Your journey is the best example for every common to think about higher heights irrespective of diversities in terms of Earnings, living styles, castes, Religions and etc ,that exist in the country.
So here I am, as common man to reach an ex common man , who is now the Prime Minister of India, for justice.
Sir, My name is Shiva Kumar and I am currently working as software professional in Bangalore city which is known to be IT Hub for our country. Fortunately or unfortunately my career to lead my life by my own was started in S/W industry as Parents were more concerned about my job in cities , because they feel that they had given me enough education for me to go and grow in corporate world. But unfortunately ,we are not at all happy with the way that we are leading day to day lives in the cities. There are several reasons for our unsatisfied lives here and the Traffic is one of the most important problems that I am trying to bring your notice in my message here .
To start every day for every Tomorrow, we need to start our journeys to our work places and stay back to our homes on dials basis, for that we need to put ourselves on the roads to reach our destinations accordingly. This is where we are facing horrible problem with traffic and it is growing like uncontrollable devil in these days.
We have families here , keeping this in our minds ,we are even taking houses near by to our offices , but still we are not finding the ways to reach our destinations (office and home) in time. Some times we are spending our half of the work time on the road itself due to heavy traffic , because of which we are supposed to extend our timings in offices till midnights. If this is the case for many times, then where is the place for family life and how can we leave ladies alone in home. And how can we find the time for our children to let them feel still his/her father is alive if this is the case in regular.
There is concept called ‘Work Life balance’’ which has now become next to impossible because of these problems. People from our native places are thinking that we are leading luxury lives here in the cities with good salary, AC offices and no physical works. How do all these matter if there is no peace and satisfaction in any life. Even if we keep these big words called Peace and Satisfaction aside for some time , how do all these matter if there is no good health to sustain longer life spans. Since Heavy Traffic leads to Traffic Jams, time gets waster because of this , which again leads to Pollution, Pollution causes diseases .
So Are we here to pay our salaries to Doctors ??
Sir, we knew that we have some police force to control the traffic , but we still don’t think that the team is good enough to control the traffic, especially in this Bangalore city. We have many local leaders here , who belong to the current ruling party as well, but I am sure that they do not come across such situation with traffic which we are facing now, as they are being provided more than enough space for their vehicles to move on the rods, which indirectly leads to traffic jams for common men some times. This is because, the same police people who takes an immense care while any political leaders travels on the way , are not even ready to take at least 10 % of the same care for common men , that they generally take for the Political leaders. So there is no chance for you for being intimated on the traffic issue by any political leader.
Here I am giving you my case as example , to make to enable better understanding on the traffic issue we are facing here.
I stay near by my office which is around 3 KM from home, and it takes not more than 15 min usually to reach my office from home/to reach my home from office if all the vehicles move with proper discipline. But just 3 days back, I happened to stay for around 90 min on road to reach my home while returning from office, at the same time when I was moving on the road, I had got around 10 miss calls from my wife , I knew that I was getting calls and they seemed to be some emergency calls , but I could not get chance to take even a single call as there was no enough space for my 2 Wheeler bike to park and the traffic was jam where I did not want to disturb to any one in that traffic.
At last I reached my home and came to know that My 1 yr old child is suffering from severe fever and that is the reason why my wife tried to reach my phone to take the child to the hospital. In fact she was crying in the home as she felt afraid of the situation. Finally I took my child to hospital anyways and he is doing better now luckily . Don’t know whom to blame for this , but this kind of situation should not happen to anyone anymore.
Is it the Infrastructure that I should blame or its Police in ability in controlling the traffic.
We are here to survive ourselves , not to loose any thing for this matter.
So please consider this request and take the necessary action as early as possible.
