They are a 5 year opportunity for the Municipal Corporator to line his/her pocket and the Road Contractor to Make Hay while the Pedestrian and Commuter cries.
An open challenge to you to please show us a clear stretch of 100 meters of normal, plain road anywhere in our City.
The road is actually become a road to hell. Potholes, uneven roads, missing paver blocks, sunken drains, missing drain covers these are just a few things which are part and parcel of practically every road in this city.
I commute 5 days a week (on a two wheeler) from my residence in Goregaon West to my workplace at Andheri East - Safed Pool a distance of 11 kms. All along it is a everyday reminder of the caption ' Nazar haati Durghatna ghati! Travelling on a two wheeler (Kinetic Honda) I can never know when I will loose balance due to the road being uneven or me riding into a pothole.
But then who cares! after all just like any eyeball attracting and TRP Rating influencing factor, this issue is also exploited for a limited time and then regaled to the archives only to be dug up when there is no supposedly scintillating, hot news of a celeb suicide, wardrobe malfunction or cricket match news happening.
I think therefore I speak.
