There’s a saying – Time and tide wait for none. It is a universal truth. Manage your time wisely – it is more valuable than money. Bad news is time just flies - Good news is you are the pilot.
It is in our hands to utilize and effectively manage time. Now this brings to one of the most important management principles – Time Management.
What is Time Management? Google the term ‘Time Management’ and you get a lot of definitions and a deluge of tips and advices on how to manage time.
We are all taught the value of time right from our childhood. All schools and colleges have set timetables and structured pedagogy so time used by students is productive.
Businesses/corporates also have set timelines, SLAs, etc. to pursue their work, deliver projects in time and successfully reach their goals. It’s all about planning and organizing your time and work for the day.
While you planned your schedule for the delay very well, you may still be unable to pursue your plan in time and as per schedule. Why? Did you ever realize that your more than a quarter of your time is eaten away in your commute to office or school or any other destination. Most of your productive time is gone wasted, landing you in frustration and distress.
Time management is not very difficult as a concept but is surprisingly hard to pursue in practice. You encounter situations beyond your control that have a major impact on your time.
Let’s say, you are an employee of a company or a worker of a business. How do you commute to your workplace? You choose either one of the public transport systems, bus, MMTS (in case it MMTS stations close by to your office and home) or private transport options such as your own bike, car or car pool (with your colleagues o someone else going in a route towards your office). Not many can afford a cab for daily commute.
Well, if you start in time to your office and there is no traffic, you will be lucky to reach in time.
Let’s say your office timings are 9 am to 5 pm. If you start at 8 you are in safe zone. If your office is very far, it is advisable you start even before 8 am. Otherwise you are bound to get stuck in traffic.
You will surely have to pay the price of being late to your office. Even if you start 5 minutes late, you will be delayed by an hour or even more. You end up getting rebuked in your office for being late. The situation will be even more pathetic if you have some presentation to make or project note to complete or an important client meeting to attend. Hyderabad has unwillingly gotten used to it. No matter what mode of transport you choose, bus, bike or car, you are bound to be delayed. Reason? TRAFFIC.
In a place like Hyderabad, you can never afford to start late to office. We all know Hyderabad is notoriously famous for its traffic. The conditions have now degraded from bad to worse. Courtesy - too many owned vehicles (two and four wheelers), increasing number of cabs, and bad road conditions. Development of Hyderabad to being one of the top global hubs of IT, has brought in a huge influx of migrants from across the country.
The sorry state of roads due heavy rains in the city has taken a heavy toll on public. Several accidents have taken place, which resulted in people going to hospitals instead of office, school or college.
Here's an easy way to solve this problem once and for all…
To solve the pressing issue of traffic and provide public the fastest and safest mode of transportation, the Hyderabad Metro Rail project is being envisaged and developed. It is one of the world’s largest modern transport systems based upon the PPP (public private partnership) model.
Hyderabad Metro Rail is the only solution that addresses all issues at once. The Metro project brings together 'best in class' resources and technology in every aspect of the project.
Hyderabad Metro Rail caters to the travel needs of all types of commuters who belong different walks of life – may it white collar or blue collar employees (men and women), lay men, college students, school kids, housewives, business men, senior citizens, specially-abled people, etc.
Everyone gets to enjoy a peaceful travel to their destination at a cost that is lighter on their pockets. Commuters can reach their destination in way lesser time compared to any other mode of public transport.
Most of the school kids may travel in their school bus, if their school has any. However, some may use metro rail to have a very safe travel to their school. Kids may utilize their travel time productively by studying or preparing for an exam if they have any.
Corporate employees travelling in metro rail may use their laptops to complete any quick tasks of their project as they travel. They may check and respond to mails too. This gives a great relief and peace of mind. The only mass mode of transport where you are allowed to use laptops and mobiles is Hyderabad Metro Rail.
Even for housewives, metro is a great blessing. If they don’t have raithubazar nearby their home, they will surely have a metro station. They can go to a grocery shop or supermarket in the metro station and buy everything they need. They can also have a safe and comfortable travel to any place covered by metro network.
Spanning 72 km of distance across Hyderabad, and categorized into 3 corridors represented by red, blue and green colors, the metro network spreads across the length and breadth of the city.
Some key features of the project include:
• Faster, safer and comfortable air-conditioned travel with reduced travel time.
• Green & Eco-friendly mode of travel - reduces carbon emission, fuel consumption and pollution.
• High frequency of trains reducing waiting time.
L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Ltd, has infused billions of rupees into this a magnificent project, and engaged experts from across the world in different levels to execute each stage to the finest of detail and fruition. The metro rail is designed to be impeccable and unparalleled in architecture, performance and service.
Once complete, Hyderabad Metro Rail will transform Hyderabad as the preferred city in India; with integrated urban transport planning using inter modal connectivity and convenient sky-walks.
The day is not really far away when Hyderabad will bid goodbye to traffic and pollution and usher the beginning of an era of seamless commuting in India.
