The Commuting Dillemma


Each morning Jim was faced with the same Dilemma - which mode of transport to take to the office which was located at the other end of Bangalore.
 
Each alternative had its own charm - while Apparition was most efficient and fastest - the transition from home to office setting - was often too fast to his likings. All the more so because with advancing years Jim wanted his changes to be served to him slowly, preferably accompanied with a CR form.

Ditto for the Portkey, which had the added discomfort of making him feel like some thing was pulling him by his no-longer-insignificant tummy. He had the uncomfortable feeling that Portkey was designed by some ancient wizard with a poor sense humor and was distinctly uncomfortable after a heavy breakfast. 

Broomstick was the best, one could soar up like a bird, see the sprawl of Bangalore below, zoom over the clouds and reach the office feeling light as a feather. The only problem was that sometimes one of the millions of Bangalorean muggles - a few thousand of whom, at any instant of time in the day could be  seen gazing aimlessly at the sky - seeing a fella with laptop flying on a broom stick would perhaps raise some unnecessary hue and cry, drawing unnecessary attention.

Jim therefore traveled to office in his car.
