Place: Bangalore
Time: About 6.15pm
Few days back, as I was driving back home on the outer ring road, about a 100 meters ahead I saw a cloud of smoke. This visual took me down memory lane, to NOIDA, for a split second, (and no, I did not lose balance) .
In NOIDA, when I used to go to school during the cold and foggy months of December and January, everything used to be hidden behind a curtain of fog a few feet ahead of me. It used to be an exciting walk to the bus stop and an even more exciting drive to school where the road ahead seemed so misty and mysterious.
I sincerely hope that this does not remain the way of life. I prefer roads with a mysterious fog rather than than roads with a blanket of forbidding smoke.

Now, smoke has replaced the fog, and a terror has replaced the excitement.
I sincerely hope that this does not remain the way of life. I prefer roads with a mysterious fog rather than than roads with a blanket of forbidding smoke.
