LOVE of Z: Metro Luxury A/C Buses Launch

An Event for which every Lover of "Z" waits for.. An Event where the Hosts of "Z" are Beautifully Decorated. and if such event was floating in the dreams of a Lover of "Z" since a Hundred Days... there is no chance of Sleep availing him the before Day of the Event. If a name should be given to that most awaited event, then it is "METRO LUXURY A/C Buses Launch".

JnNURM(Jawaharlal nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) has bought a big Change in the Urban Bus Transportation. After a fleet of 900+ Buses joining in 2009, now in 2014 as a part of U.B.S(Urban Bus Specifications)-II a Set of 80 high-end Volvo 8400 Low-floor A/C Buses arrived in Hyderabad to enhance the Travelling Experience of Hyderabad City Bus Commuters.

                                                   This might not be arranged believing in Numerology. But, this Event was arranged exactly after 4months after the 1st Bus has arrived the City from Volvo Factory, Hoskote. This might be quite funny & unbelievable too, but the Fact is that the 1st Bus had reached Hyderabad on 29/07/14 & exactly after 4 months i.e on 29/11/14 this Grand Event took Place.

                                                  So, when Sleep doesn't avail him waiting for the Event, it is quite obvious that there is no chance of him to do other work . The only Work would be having his presence at the Venue of the Event. Here are the Experiences of the Author at the Event in his words.

The another Fact which might be quite funny is that the parking of Buses in "L-shape" & the no. of Buses arranged being to be an "Odd no." was done based on a Sentiment that this would make the Event Successful. So only, the "9" Buses were arranged in "L-shape" for Flagging off.
