Drive with Ease and Grace

Dear Reader,
Welcome to make a difference blogspot. This is about making difference in the areas that matter most to us and our community.

Have you ever come across a situation while driving on highway on a long trip to a favorite destination and you are confident that you have made all preparation for the travel and studied the maps and directions. Somewhere on the way you find yourself lost at intersection and wondering which way to take. You find there is no one to ask. Then you take a guess and take one path. Then you keep wondering every moment, Am I in right direction ? After driving for 15-20 kms you find out that you are in wrong direction. Then you start blaming the people who provided these directions. Is this familiar story ? People take this as given and think that there is nothing we can do to change this. Some people think that even if I want to do something what big difference I can make when I am alone in this. You really can make a difference. Every journey starts by one small step. By collectively coming together with determination to making difference this problem can be addressed effectively. Of course this cannot be achieved overnight. This requires long time and concerted effort in understanding the state of Roads and all about our Road design etc. By studying our Roads and with little collective effort we can come up with right recommendations to the government to fix this issue. The possibility of this is to create world class road environment which has right directions anywhere in India. This will also create deep sense of respect, dignity and peace of mind for the drivers on the road.

As citizen of this country I welcome you to participate and express your views that will make a difference in our road safty and comfort. Pl feel free to express your views and how you can contribute in this regard. As part of this initiative we will be identifying locations in Bangalore where there is need of proper direction signs and getting in touch with Road transportation authority to help meet the needs of safe driving.

There are some links that will help you get more info in this endavour.
