Salvation for Pune Roads

Hi All,

At last Pune roads will finally get redemption and salvation by the 30th Nov 2006. That being the date fixed by the Mumbai High Court for getting all roads pot hole free. Thats provided the officials in the Pune Municipal Corporation deem it reasonable to comply with the court orders..

Some friends have already tried gandhigiri and not seen success till date. Gandhi Ji has told us that it the opponent attacks you and slaps you on one side of the face show him the other. He obviously has not told us if the A**H@!$ attacks you the second time. Then I guess it time to revert back to Circuit Giri.

Lets see who becomes circuit this time – The People or the Court. Either ways we need more Circuits to get some sense into the heads of these “Government Servents”. Maybe some Circuit procedures to perforate their heads will help in the Osmosis Process…

Cheers till then,

Pune Roads and Gandhigiri

Hi,

For the past some months folks in Pune in India have been experiencing a roads system which seems to be terminally ill. Whats even more surprising is the fact that Public representative refuse to acknowledge the problem. Seems to be a strange case of infrastructural euthanesia :(.

All this after the city having spent a record amount for improving roads just last year. BTW couple of weeks ago I had the honor of watching a movie called "Lage Raho Munna Bhai". The central theme was on how a seemingly mentally unwell protogenist gets flowers and cards from people at large which ultimately brings about the change of heart.

Seems the chief commissioner of the local government in his capacity as the custodian of the roads should be getting a truck load of roses with a get well soon card. Roads in Pune need to get better from their seemingly terminal illness. "Lage Raho Munna Bhai" showed that there is always hope even for cronically ill people.

BTW folks the Municipal Commissioner and "the city fathers" are still waiting for their truck load of roses and I am still an eternal optimist.

Cheers
