Save the drop of oil, it is not going to last forever, screamed the hoarding from above. This was the message of a responsible government exhorting the public to use the limited supply of oil, sparingly. Three cheers to the responsible government.
Back home to a break in front of the Television which has been delegated the task of entartainment. And what do you see there. You guessed a cheese. You are right. On the telly you see more of ads than the program itself. Nowadays ADS have taken the hot seat of relay. In fact it is more rightly said by one of the survey engineer that programs are advertised in between two ADS. Now let us gauge the ADS.
Taking a diversion to the chapter of ADS, we get to chat about the popular AD which has a famous Indian cricketer who these days is seen more on the small screen. They are giving the stars of the silver screen a run for money and have forgotten to work their way in the field. This cricketer with a sweet looking companion beside him the latest sports model in the petrol pump, and while his automoblie is getting the attention, he asks the attendant the way to the particular spot. The attendant with his sparking smile says, if you use a particular brand of fuel all you do is to go straight for some miles, turn right again and straight way down some more miles and again a right turn will take you to your spot. To that the cricketer popped up a quest a to " If I dont use that particular brand then how do I get there?" The attendant with a sheepish grin said that it was just opposite the road on the other side.
Now this is revealing the secret of the lengthy medians which is there on all roads. The medians are a stumbling block to the government's policy of saving oil for the future. We will have to travel extra mile to actually get to that place. The median has become a scene of curse for the road users for the money bank on petrol usage. It yields to the very fact of saving petrol for the years to come as it is on the phase of extinction. The medians ensure the correct usage of petrol at the incorrect time.
On one side of the coin the government is trying to amend changes on the impending oil crisis and on the other side it is not awakened by the mean things like the median. Might be mean but the mode of travel because of the median is a majoe setback.
We can instead use the effective manpower vis-a-vis the traffic officials who can regulate the vehicles with a small break in between the lengthy medians or a free diversion with the help of the planners. This might be a small issue to talk but a serious game to be played. Remember we are eating the money of the future generation.
