The 8 benefits of a 'Bandh'

The 8 benefits of a 'Bandh'

Bandhs are great. Here is a list of 8 top benefits of a Bandh, especially in Kolkata.

1. Bandh's are environment friendly - the city pollution levels go down rapidly for a day.
2. Bandh's are traffic friendly - you can roller skate to office today if you wish (and the potholes vanish!).
3. You get special government care if the bandh is an opposition sponsored one - so many buses on the roads and all semi empty.
4. You come to office seating in window seats in government buses paying just Rs 8.50.
5. You come to office in 25 minutes in a bus, which otherwise takes 1 hr 45 mins in a bus and 1 hr even in a car.
6. Nobody can force you to come to office - max they can do is deduct a day's leave.
7. You come to office in a kurta-pyajama or a bermuda and slippers.
8. You can leave office early with out any loss of pay.

Everyday should be a bandh day...why aren't they contemplating this seriously?
