It's hard to find isolated places nowadays

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find an isolated spot in my city.

I reside in Prayagraj and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find an isolated place with little or no crowd .The city feels very different and congested as compared 7-8 years ago. Visiting market in the evening is a difficult task as the streets have become too crowded. Earlier ,finding a vacant spot was easy.I remember finding new isolated places along with my friends. This is not possible now. Streets have become too chaotic.I now need to prepare myself mentally before leaving for the 'challenges' ahead. Busy roads, lots of people, honking, auto, careless pedestrians, dust,wreckless drivers. A 30 min visit is enough to retire me for the day.

The curzon bridge situated in the northern part of the city used to be a quiet and deserted place. I observed it to be a quiet place as my school bus passed on the bridge adjacent to it . Sadly ,it's not the same anymore. I visited the bridge in the morning for over a month during 2024 only to find not being quiet anymore.

The city has changed and so it's spirit. Sadly cities are getting homogeneous . Prayagraj is slowly transitioning to another city with the same crap being served in mega cities.
