1. On a Saturday evening Mr. Khanna was reminiscing his younger days while his eyes were glued to a bike show on television. Although he was enjoying the show with his son, Rohan, he had quit biking. Rather his old age made him quit.
2. You know Rohan, when I was your age, I used to go racing with my friends. Really dad?!? You never told me! In fact I almost lived on the roads. There wasn’t a single highway, where my bike and I hadn’t travelled
3. Wow! That’s like the whole country. How long did it take? From Mumbai to Chennai, from Kolkata to Delhi, we had cruised on them all.
4. Longer than what we planned. The bad roads came up with too many obstacles. At times we had to stop riding it and start walking with it.
5. Sometimes I wish, I could go back in time. Just to sit on my bike and cruise on those roads. One last time. Don’t worry dad, I will fulfil this dream of yours. I’ll take you out for another ride. Rohan wasted no time. He logged on to the net and started searching for various road maps. And that’s when he chanced upon the Golden Quadrilateral
6. Look dad, our government has already fulfilled your wish. No bad road, just smooth highways, all we have to do is, take the Golden Quadrilateral.
7. The Golden Quadrilateral is a highway network connecting India's four largest metropolises: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. It also connects Bangalore, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Surat. It’s the largest highway project in India, which was initiated by Atal Bihari Vajpayee. It’s the first phase of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP), and aims at building 5,846 km of four/six lane express highways.
8. Mr. Khanna couldn’t believe it. Next day he set out for a ride with Rohan. This is like a dream come true. This is way better than the ones I rode on. Doesn’t this feel like heaven? It does son. It does.
9. Thanks for this ride son! “ Thanks to our government, today I can see my father looking pleased. Kudos to the government for creating The Golden Quadrilateral,” thought a very happy son, Rohan.
