hey,
i agree, the condition of our roads is getting worse by the minute. They call mumbai the financial capital of the country, one of the cities which has the maximum cash. But its doesnt seem so if u look at roads in mumbai. Even the main western Express Highway is filled with potholes left right and centre.
Sometimes i actually feel like making a whole documentary on the condition of the roads in our city, and sending it to all these news channels and newspapers. These government people are running crazy behind the world bank to get money for more rail and sky bus projects, but are least bothered about the condition of our roads. Even the best roads in the city are messed up now. All they will do is come and do a fill up job to last the rains and the Ganpati period, and then forget about it. A normal days journey on my bike from college to back home, makes a mess of all the organs in my body, and all the parts of my bike.
Sometimes i really wonder, these people file Public Interest Litigations all the time when someone does something wrong, when will people stand up and appeal against the authorities to fix our roads. When we have to sit and pay tax for our cars, insurance, PUC or any other taxes, they pounce on us to fine us heavily even if we are late by a day. Little do they realise, that we are not interested in paying them any of these taxes, cos at the end of the day, the same roads that we drive on, mess up our cars and cost us money. When will the people in the government realise that we need good roads, we need a clean city to actually be counted as one of the top cities in the world. Bernie(F1 boss) will reject any enquiries about a GP in India if he has a look at any of the roads in Mumbai. :P
I hope the authorities take some major steps and fast.
Sorry about your honda RJ.
