Devanahalli Toll Plaza attendant saved himself by a whisker


The attendant at Devanahalli Toll Plaza on NH44, near Bangalore International Airport saved himself by a whisker. 
The truck driver must be spotted and exemplary punishment meted out to him. He should be charged with attempt to murder. 
The incident happened on Sunday, 2021-08-01. 
If someone wants to use the wonderful highways being laid out across India at superfast pace, toll charges must be paid. Period!

Pulling out a high payload multi-axle 14 wheel truck stuck in wet soil


Pulling out a high payload multi-axle 14 wheel truck stuck in wet soil on the left of a black top tarmac road is no mean task. 
No wonders that truckers are perennially paranoid of driving on the extreme left on highways. They fear that the wheels might sink with possibilities of the truck tilting on its sides! 
Watch how a tractor successfully pulled out a 14 wheel Ashok Leyland truck stuck in wet mud sometime in July  2021. 
The persons engaged in the rescue process are not post graduate degree holders in physics, nor are they engineers/ consultants with artificial intelligence. However, they know exactly what to do, when to do and how to do. Therefore, with the bat of an eyelid please don't address them as 'idiots' which most newgen roadies love to do.

Mahindra Bolero bought with ₹1 coins


People go to any lengths to project themselves as 'vloggers'. 
This is why we in Indian Roadie with our fetish for communication, hate most road travel/ automobile vloggers. However, exceptions are always there. Only a handful of them are really good or rather excellent. 

This guy in the video is a typical Indian vlogger with the unmistakable repulsive swag. He supposedly carried over 45 sacks of ₹1 coins totalling about ₹11.50 lakhs in cash to Greenland Automobiles, Ajmer, Rajasthan to buy the topmost variant of Mahindra Bolero for himself. 
The entire staff in the showroom had to be deputed to carry out the task of counting the coins. 
This weird incident happened in July 2021.

Avoid staying in the scores of glitzy hotels along Kalyani Expressway in northern fringes of Kolkata. Those are prostitution dens


I (Deep Banerjee, Founder - Indian Roadie, Backpacking India On Road) am based out of Kolkata. I have always maintained that I am most uncomfortable driving around in West Bengal. If a person like me who has grown up and worked in WB and has travelled widely across India mainly for work and partially for vacation, spanning over nearly four decades expresses such fears, there must be a lot of substance in such apprehensions. 

For roadies from Odisha and the five Southern states who prefer to drive via Kolkata during their trips to Darjeeling hills, Dooars, Sikkim, Bhutan and the seven North Eastern states, a need might arise to halt in Kolkata or any place in South Bengal. Please try to stay in a hotel within Kolkata (south of Kaikhali), Salt Lake or between Asansol and Durgapur or in Tarapith, Shantiniketan, Bankura, Bishnupur, Midnapore or Kharagpur. 

I myself drive to the districts of Nadia and North 24 Parganas quite often. While driving from/ to Kolkata, I normally take the 35 kms stretch of accident and crime prone Kalyani Expressway from Nimta to Kampa Morh (near Naihati) via Sodepur and Barrackpur to avoid unruly traffic of NH12 (erstwhile, NH34) in Barasat. 
I keep wondering who on earth patronises the scores of bars and glitzy hotels which have sprouted on both sides of Kalyani Expressway ever since 2012. Occasionally it does get dark while returning to Kolkata and I have always had that sense of uneasiness and fear on the stated stretch. I have always had the hunch that something seriously wrong must be going on in those well lighted but sleazy looking hotels. 

The police administration in spite of knowing everything allowed every nonsense to happen under their nose. Suddenly the police have started raiding these hotels and it's being reported that on the intervening night of 30th and 31st July 2021, a whopping 21 high profile callgirls were nabbed along with more men and women from a hotel. The media channels are now saying that barring a miniscule few, all the hotels are used for prostitution or criminal activities. 

It's my advice to roadies to strictly avoid staying back at any of the hotels on Kalyani Expressway and Belgharia Expressway in North 24 Parganas district and Kona Expressway in Howrah district. For clarification of doubts please post your query in the comments section. 

The administration is surely in league with those who are promoting the illicit activities. The former are the real culprits and deserve the 'stick' in the proverbial 'Carrot N Stick'.
