POTTERMANIA!!!!

The title might suggest this article is related to Harry Potter's antics, but it really has to say about the pothole saga which is creating headlines in the media.
The way the potholes are mushrooming allover the roads the BMC chief is just on the brink to say"HAVE I MADE IT LARGE"in terms of the gargantuan problem which the city faces with approximately 6000 potholes in stretch of 1100 km road in Mumbai . We can understand that the city roads are facing extreme pressure wear and tear due to alarming rise in the number of vehicles plying on the road. But the major reason for this chronic bad condition of road is due to the poor quality of material and no proper finishing of the roads before the rains.


The condition has been so worse that we have to find where does the road exists, since it seems BMC have constructed potholes and then connected it with roads. I think the present politicians in a way to get genuine publicity might jump upon the idea of getting the potholes named after their beloved leader themselves. They might further go on to say that these things are done considering the fast pace Mumbaikars live. To slow down the pace a little bit they are creating these social service.

In the time of inflationary pressure, it will save your money to go to the theme parks like Esselworld and enjoy the humpty dumpty rides on the road.Further , they might say the traffic jam might give up the liberty to ponder over spiritual thought or write a diary which may further develop you as an author.
So, these white topi netas ( not Mee Anna Hazare types) can give you more reasons to show that having potholes might benefit the aam junta. Children might enjoy making the small paper boats and stream along the puddles formed due to potholes. It would be better than to go through the traffic snarls at Juhu and watch the MV WISDOM and PAVIT ships stuck at the coast.It might help the Indian athletes to practice in Mumbai for the hurdles and steeplechase to win medal at London Olympics 2012. There also hope for the common man who carries dahi with him for journey at office can just add a little sugar and till he reaches home can enjoy delicious lassi form within a short span of 2-3 hours journey.
Thats the reason I feel BMC agreed to lower the rate of contract of roads by 25% and thus make life a lot of hell vis -a-vis  comfortable for already stressed Mumbaikars. The only good realization that these potholes will make people to place their car at homes and use public transport,walk for short distances and reduce pollution and conserve fuel.
