On a Monday - Going to office and coming back

My bike gave up this weekend and was in the garage!
I had decided to try the public transport to get to work

I started off in the morning and got a train till secunderabad... thought it was a good start
Then I found out the next train towards Hitech city is after one hour.. oops, now what!!?

went out to look for something else...
I got an RTC bus that would go towards Kondapur...
It went all around Hyderabad before I it reached Madhapur!
I got down at the Police Station and started to walk towards office.
Half the way.. one of my colleagues spotted me and gave me a ride till office...

It had taken me more than 2 hrs to reach office.. which would normally take about 50-60 mins on my bike!

works done and time to head back home...
:-D

I came down and knew that there would be no buses...
I asked few autorickshaw guys but they refused to come to HiTec-city MMTS railway station...
As usual, I started walking.. and it took me an hour to get to HiTec-city station, about 7KM from office!

I felt.. if only we had a cab drop / shuttle till the station.. but what the heck!
one amazing thing was that many employees working in BIG companies are using the MMTS service
and their employers are providing shuttles to the station!

but then...
OH NO, NOT AGAIN...
At the station, there was a long queue for the tickets and the train had left before I could buy a ticket!
had to spend one more hour at the station waiting for the next train... 45 mins and I reached Secunderabad...
Then I find out the the last train to my palce had left!
I was also hungry so I then went out to a restaurant and had dinner.
with no other option, I had to take the last bus back home... felt lucky not to have missed that!

Oh what a day... I did not feel much about as I am used to all this as a frequent traveller!
But, what about the hundreds of employees who have to experience this daily!!!
The company could provide some minimal transportation facilites like shuttles to the nearest bus/train stations
many companies have actually

Today I am working from home... and am able to do most of the daily activities that I do at office...and I can work for longer hours!!!
sometimes, the concept of home-office works out to be more productive!
