Bandra-Worli Sealink

The Bandra-Worli Sealink is a fantastic achievement of this city. It shows that if the Environmental agency, the transport authorities, the municipality, the private sector and fisheries councils can get together then we can build 3 lanes of a 4 km bridge in around 10 years.

Facts aside, I wanted to talk about the driving pleasure on that piece of concrete. Driving on the roads of Mumbai is like leading your life in an unhappy, sex deprived marriage (not that I would know what that's like). It's frustrating, agonizing, painstakingly slow and devoid of pleasure of any kind.

Driving on the BW Sea Link though, is like that little spark that THAT married man needs. It's like, what's the word -MASTURBATION! It's smooth, pleasurable, free, quick and at at the end of it you feel a little guilty (toll naka).
