The City of Delightful, delightful shortcuts !

Ha ! Trivandrum is so awesome man..(many people will disagree with me Right here,but anyway..)

Oh, the more shortcuts i find here, the more i love this place.
.. and i mean, actually productive shortcuts too. (And WHY cant actions movies be shot here-there is so MUCH scope for bike chases, car chases, autorickshaw chases.. plain running-for-life shots.. somebody EXPLORE this city !!)

Ok,time for jotting down notes.
There are various kinds of shortcuts in Trivandrum :

- Pedestrian shortcuts. (these are a majority and the most delightful to chance upon.) A good friend showed me one this Tuesday,near his place. Perfect for a kung-fu action sequence man..

Enter a lane from the main road; take the first right, then look for a baked-model house(one which looks like brick-finish you know)on your right. Once you find it, walk up to the gate,enter the garage, exit it,look for a small gate on the left,climb over it(or open it if that's not boring for you),negotiate a steel staircase from there,on a 15-feet drop to the next house garden,use the open front gate to exit,turn right,run to the end of the road- and Presto! Main road!

awww..hehe ! Ok,enough. on to the next type -

- 2-wheelers-can-make-it shortcuts.

- Even-blessed-4-wheelers-can-try shortcuts.
(this one i found out myself on my way to a village office- A Maruti can fit in this type,but am not sure about whether a Ford Endeavour can.)

- Too-muddy-and-slushy-to-take shortcuts. (These are the ones that come at a price; pedestrians get knee-deep in brown slush and cars get stuck up to the wheels,as my family found out in our Maruti one day.)
Of course, i have seen KSRTC buses take these kind of shortcuts,but thats another story.

For now, Trivandrum keeps popping delightful shortcuts.

And there are SO many left!! Its like a minefield,i tell you!

wooo!
