In 1812, Recession hit Mumbai just like Osama's Air planes hit twin towers on 9/11. Due to less number of cars in the city, most of the roads lost their jobs and were unemployed. They didn't know what to do, irony of life was that even after being roads they couldn't make their ends meet. All twelve of them were under a lot of stress and pressure of looking after their families. So they planned to schedule a meeting. They named it 12 Angry Roads, and wanted to make a decision in one single room on the same date no matter what. They signed a pact of not leaving the room until they come to some conclusion. Secret sources reveal that one of the landmark of Cinema was inspired from this meeting, due to constraints they couldn't reveal the name of the movie. It was all set, Meeting was scheduled on 12-12-12(18) at the 12th floor of Navjeevan Society at the stroke of midnight when the world was asleep they planned to wake up and take a stand against this Recession which hit them hard. There was no ventilation in the room, even the Aircondition was not working, it is now believed that it was a big transistor which was misunderstood to be an air conditioner by both Aamir Khan and the roads in this room. It was raining like shawshank redemption and Mahesh bhatt's movies in Mumbai, 6 of the 12 roads were actually smoking chimneys, feeling suffocated in that room. Finally they invited their friends from khar to help them in this decision. There are strong rumours of that helping road is still there and famously known as 13th Road Khar, he had such a huge impact on that meeting, that even if he is the 2nd 3rd 4th road of Khar and Bandra, he is still named 13th Road, no matter how badly the roads of Khar misguide and confuse the travellers and drivers. The roads of Khar and Bandra are all messed up with numbers because name of 13th road cant be changed.
Live excerpts from that meeting are as follows :
12 Angry Roads : We dont know what we should do, our families are out of mortar and concrete, they are going to die out of hunger, we have to find a way now!
Mighty 13th Road : There is a solution to this.
12 Angry Roads : What is it?
Mighty 13th Road : What I am going to say next wont be easy for you guys, but it will for sure help you and your families out. It might change your identities. Think before you agree. Not a easy road to follow, oh sorry path-path, not an easy path to follow.
12 Angry Roads : (Unanimously) What is it?
Mighty 13th Road : Mujhe tum logon ke ghar mein ROTI chahiye!! Jai Mata Di Lets Rock!!!
12 Angry Roads : Yo Yo Yo!! Lets do this ! Yo Yo Honey Singha!!!! Tell us what is it!
Mighty 13th Road : Talk to the railways, ask them to give you jobs, They are looking for stations for there Bombay Local Network, Experience is not mandatory. Freshers can also apply!! Whatsay??
AWKWARD SILENCE
There is murmuring and silent discussions throughout the room,
" Auto, Bus and Taxiwallas might kill us if we dont be loyal to them and allow trains to pass by us, this is very risky, we might get life threats, oh God this is really tough"
"But we dont have any other option,there are no vacancies in this recession period, But we wont change our names even if we change our occupation, Okay??"
" LETS DO THIS!" They said
They called up Central Railway Headquarters and got the documents signed. Railways agreed to there norm of not changing their names no matter what.
After a telephonic interview, group discussion and HR round, they were hired and later trained to be Railway Stations for next six months with stipend.
This one move changed their lives, Their names got permanent in the history of Indian Railways.
One thing they loved about this job was that no one was digging and rolling them over and over again, they were no more injured with rain, nor burnt by heat and tyre marks made due to speeding up of cars, they had proper shades and fans now. They are calm and content being Railway Stations even today. For them it is an upgrade because from a road they have been promoted to become a premises.
They are Happily Known as
Their families and Kids have flourished and some of their kids have become Airports, Free ways, Flyovers, Sea Links and Santacruz Chembur Link Way etc.
