Even a Humvee driven by a murderous maniac would have trouble getting through the mess of a traffic on Mehrauli Gurgaon Road. The traffic has increased to the point that at normal hours (i.e. not between midnight and 2 in the morning), the cars just crystallize into position and are unable to move. Crystallography talks of degrees of freedom, and Professor G Sundar tried to teach us how to calculate it. On MG Road, the value is easy to work out - Zero. You cannot move. If you move your elbow, you will poke it into the eye of a fellow motorist, who will turn around and fire a bullet through the head.
Creatures like me harbour the deep rooted desire to return home and go to sleep, so MG road is an absolute no-no. Even the T-72 tank that I had planned to obtain would find it difficult to pass through the crystal maze, so alternate methods of locomotion is a must.
So, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the god-foresaken road past Mandi-gaon. It's a narrow road, currently used by a few Qualis drivers and chauffeurs of the rich and famous (who own the farmhouses along that road). The road connects Andheria More on one side to the Gurgaon-Faridabad highway. If you take a turn on the way, you could pass the Chattarpur village and reach Anuvrat Marg, a kilometer from the Qutub Minar.
At a time when it takes two hours on the MG road route, the alternate route, 10 Km longer, takes an hour.
And, an hour's extra sleep is welcome any day!

since only urmi(west coast) and i(back of beyond) read this blog, you are letting out secrets.
you'll come to regret it.
come monday, that narrow road will be crystalized with cars and their drivers who chanced to read the pillroller blog.
by the by, to get from orion IV to rigel XX, there is a little known worm hole. It goes past the galactic wasteland and the only people known to frequent it are the members of the obscure-poets' society, who visit the place every april.
Anyway, though it has a few gravity-bumps, this wormhole does shorten journey time by 89 nanoseconds, and as kakkeshwar kuchkuchey says "time, is money."
