Richard Bach has written a book called "Nothing by chance". I would like to add my own saying " everything has a reason behind it". You don't see the reason and get mad.
Like everybody else, you will curse the "Bengaluru mahanagar palike" or whatever is your city corporation for the bad state of the roads. ( you say bad is very very tame word for that ?). But again you are not seeing the reason behind it. You know very well that, we need to conserve water. If the BMP people fill in all the pot holes and tar the surface cleanly, how can the rain water sink to the ground and how will ground water table recharged? See, these people do think really about the future.
There is another reason, why the roads will not repaired. Beijing olympics, we won only 3 medals. So these people are training Indians for next olympics. For a new event called as hurdle driving. An Indian Shoemaker the formula one racer (this is not how his name is spelled? OK. I don't know how), should know how to race in Indian roads which full of hurdles in the form of potholes, BMTC buses who are out to kill you, autodrivers who also have the same desire but swear a lot when you escape, so on and so on. See, city corporations are not training one or two people but the entire population for this race. If you don't see it, you don't know how to recognise goodness in other people.
When it rains, these potholes will be filled with water and you can not differentiate between a pothole and what is left of good road. So you are scared and you will wait below a tree or a shop until the rain stops. Here these people don't want you to ride in rain and get drenched. They know that even if you wear a water proof jacket, that will not cover your legs. You get wet, you fall sick, you call and ask for leave. The #@@# boss says, you can not get leave and if you don't go to office, your one day salary will be cut. So either you go to office and spread you cold and fever to your collegues or stay home and lose one day's salary. City Corp. people do not want you to suffer. If they don't cover the potholes, you will be scared of driving and getting drowned in the pothole and you will not be sick. See such a magnanimous hearted people these are!!
