Today's TOI Jugular vein has an article about non-existence of roads in Indian cities. I have a consolation here. I have been travelling in this particular road since almost three months. In the busiest magadi road, there is a combination of speed breaker ie road humps and pot holes. Speed breakers we are very painfully aware of. They are meant to kill the speed but they very effectively make you lose control. (On ring road, between Hosakerehalli and Mysore road junction there are some 4 speed breakers. Each one is a series of 4-5 humps. Driving through them is a night mare.) Just now I read, one parent has gone to court against BBMP as his son lost control over a speed breaker and fell and died. Anyway these are speed breakers. And potholes are very very popular. Now in Magadi road, it looks as if somebody designed a road hump but was very economical with tar. So it was a terrible combination. In that busy road, everyone used to go at a speed of -10. And obviously everyone would pray. See how muchever secular our governments are, they are god-fearing. And they want us to pray. Oftner the better. So everyone would pray and take around 2 minutes to cross that potholish speed breaker. Day before yesterday, I was surprised to see less traffic there. I thought may be some holiday for schools and colleges. No, that stretch of road was repaired and is now smooth. I am not sure whether it is as smooth as Hema Malini's cheeks, Mr Lalooji. So I kept smiling throughout the entire way. I did not observe. But I am sure that each every commuter was smiling .
So Juggu Bhaiya, Bhagavan ke ghar der hai, Andher nahi hai. These people do repair the roads. But they take their own time. Have faith in God.
