Why not to take the Hosur Road Expressway in Bangalore
A whooping 765 crore worth expressway is now operational between Silk Board Junction and Electronic city in Bangalore. Few years back this 10km stretch took motorists an hour and even more. Simply speaking, it was a nightmare. Few months back when they inaugurated this expressway, I was very excited about the experience.

Alternate approach
When my father's friend became the president of a prestigious social club of my small hometown, he set himself the target of getting an ambulance for the town. It took quite a bit of an effort to make the people who were ready to spare tens of thousands of rupees for parties but only a few hundred rupees for a real cause to contribute the necessary amount of money. My father also contributed generously (and only I and his friend were aware of this fact). Finally ambulance came in - it was a Maruti Omni vehicle.
