Last mile - Every person is fast !

Every morning for the last 10 days, I carry food to the hospital. On the road ahead, every person is very fast except me. Is it the nature of last mile?

My first available photo, may be of 1976 when I was a student at ISI, Bangalore

Long and Short Miles

Today is the day, Dr Bowonder left at 8.30 am
He may have taken with him the last view of TMTC.
Now, nobody may have to travel to Pune to see him in his crowded room.




Some people reach the end of the mile unknowingly.
This month I am told that Dr. Milan Shukla finished his last mile when he was in Hyderabad. Perhapes, Srinivasan of ICRISAT had left much earlier and I came to know of it only today.

The Journey Has Started

But unlike the Alice in wonderlands, there is no confusion. There is no Cheshire Cat to ask which road to take. Infact the roadways are private limited and I can drive the way I like.

The Journey Begins

The journey began on 15 August 1966. Main hubs were Chennai, Bangalore, Bombay, Hyderabad, Colombo, Pune and back to Bombay, now called Mumbay in September 2008. Ahead is the last mile!
