Yet again the SSRN bus station

Following the post I wrote more than a year back about the bus station that was being constructed near the SSRN hospital, here's some updates, with pictures. The bus station was completed last year in July with a total cost of 30 million rupees and those pictures were taken in August. The bus station is still as you it on those pictures, that is, not in use. There've been no changes yet regarding bus routes passing through the hospital. I guess NTA people are too busy going home at 2 p.m to care.

I'm starting to think that the bus station has been constructed with the purpose of serving as a monument rather than having any practical use. Oh! and people might be lost in all those weeds that have been proliferating there lately. Ah well! Hope in some years this place is inaugurated and it starts serving its purpose of facilitating the traffic flow in those routes.

I'm sick of passing by the hospital every single day of my life.

Edit (27/02/09): I got to know while listening to the radio today that an 11 year old student named Dhamina Hallomun met with an accident yesterday on a bus stop at Terre Rouge and as a result of which she's got her leg amputed. Another accident occurred wherein a women got several fractures which will keep her bed-ridden for 4 months.

I wonder if the NTA has got regulations for those type of accident. Remember Vyash Rambaree, a 17 year old student who lost his life last year due to a skull fracture in an accident? The bus driver has been sent to jail, but this hasn't changed the attitude of other drivers.

In an interview today Naren Ramgoolam from NTA stated that he did not understand how this has happened. According to him, bus conductors receive a rigorous training before embarking into this career. Yeah right! Like they got a training to be this disrespectful towards people. I wonder when was the last time Naren Ramgoolam set a foot in a bus. Might have been in the 70s. Duh!

Anyway, once more the NTA has shown how incompetent they are.

Edit: (Sunday 24 May 2009):
The inauguration of the station was held on the 13th May 2009.

About the birthday

Could not really celebrate much of a birthday at home since the blessed festival had to be today. So we're planning my birthday on some other day. This did not stop Jev and me from going out and hang around a little at the beach. Went to Pereybere, the sun was simply burning us until we decided to turn Jazzie into a tent. So you'll be wondering who the hell is Jazzie. And this is Jazzie:

and the insides of Jazzie:

So Jevin took all the backseats down and believe me we had enough space to have a picnic in there, and it is just a car! hihi... So I'm wondering why we did not do it before but anyway was a great day. I'm off to sleep and I'm waiting for next year to come. Till then, take care dudettes and dudes and my wonderful aliens.

Hello...

Damn! My post signature is gone. I don't know what's up. Maybe it's cause I've been neglecting the blog for such a long time. Anyway, the craze is gone, weirdly. Maybe it's just cause I'm having a real life recently, doing real things, like treadmilling, hrming, pushing daisies and sandwiching (you've got to share the recipe Jev, lol). Strangely "sandwiching" is a real verb. Ha!

Well, I'm not saying that my life's a blast. But recently it's quite close to it. I'm having fun! Usually comeback posts are depressing. This one ain't.

And I've just realised I don't have anything else to say. So I'll leave you with those words ladies and gents and my colorful aliens (if ever you're still there). Might never know...

Health Sponsors?

Bet you guys have noticed the big ad campaign for Maurilait or whatever claiming that you should have at least 3 dairy products a day and that's why Candia and Yoplait products are supposed to be good for you. Well I call that bullshit. Ever tasted a Candia milk or a Yoplait yoghurt? Apart from water I don't see what good is really present there.

So that's why I recommend you guys to buy Delight dairy products. Yes I was paid to say this. OK just kidding. Who would pay me to say something anyway? But hell I'm damn serious about the Delight thing. Buy it. Don't go with the lame ads on TV. That's the problem with us Mauritians anyway, we just can't stick to making good ads venting the merits of really good products, we just turn everything into a lame joke, with lame people doing some lame acting.

Anyway all this to say that Delight products are made of real creamy milk with all the real benefits of milk. So buy it. :P

Oops... I did it again.

Sometimes in life you get to learn some lessons. It's not that I've learnt some lessons or that I've lived life, it's just that given the present circumstances, with all my absence from the blogging world(if ever there is one) and all this sentence sounds wise. :P

So if ever I had justify myself and find an excuse for my absence it would be simply that I was living. You know the phrase "get a life"? It won't be logical to anyone, unless they really start doing it; get a life, start living. Ah! such complicated notions! but yet if you get started, you'll see that real life is still the wonderful thing it used to be. The only bad side of it is that once you start talking about the joys of living, you start sounding like a preacher. :P

So I'll be damned if I did not leave you guys here.

But I'll be back...
