MRTS

I was passing through the IT corridor of Chennai trying to showcase the techy architecture of Chennai which is now more and more recognized in the global scenario for its brain power, to my foreigner-friend. While we entered the IT corridor from the Madhya Kailash side my friend looked left and asked me with genuine concern when the MRTS will be operational. I told him it was already operating for a few years now. He couldn't believe me even if I were to swear by it. The state in which the stations are gives no hint of a completed facility available. I am sure that is the same with anybody who doesn't know its operational. Work is in progress for years! As much as I would hate to compare, I witnessed thee fastest infrastructure development in Shanghai. Umpteen stations a few under river tunnels for road transport and a few expressways came up in the short span of 10 months I was there. And we are still riding on the hope that India will be a super-power. Do we have any plan as to how we get there?? Unless the 12.12.12 d-day fact is true and the rest of the world is destroyed, I see no way.
