JVLR woes!!

When the Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) was being constructed, MMRDA told us that after the JVLR is built, travel from Eastern Express Highway (EEH) to Western Express Highway (WEH) will be in 20 minutes, that's right 20 minutes flat with no stoppages whatsoever!! Bullshit!! Today it takes anything from 1 hour to 2 hours to just traverse this link road connecting the eastern suburbs of Mumbai to the western suburbs. Still the Powai section of this road is bearable. It is when you cross the SEEPZ flyover that you run into humongous traffic jam, all the way to the WEH. It just simply stops, crawls, stops, sputters, stops. There are so many traffic signals, so many criss crosses that one simply gets bored at this stretch. Nowadays it seem the Aarey road has been blocked ostensibly for a fallen bridge during the August 29 downpour, but who knows what is the real reason ? It doesn't take that much time for repair of a bridge. 

7.59 kms

7.59 kms in absolutely dry weather in mumbai. Was not feeling like running today morning after the meltdown at the hiranandani hospital at powai yesterday where i had taken mom for her regular check-up and then the travel back to home in busy late evening traffic. Did not even put the alarm like i usually do. but i somehow got up at 5.10 a.m. and decided to go for a run for whatever its worth it, running clears your stress levels like nothing else in the world. The hospital guys regularly take you for a ride in the billing section. They overbill like nobody notices it. There's no fucking ethics from the hospital especially to cheat the relatives of sick patients is most disgusting thing ever in this world.
