Our Roads - Nothing funny about them
( Reproduced here from my FB post dated 9th December 2015)
Teacher :- What do you know about roads in India?
Student :- Roads in India are
primarily the playgrounds for two types of people known as Diggers and Layers.
They constantly play the game of digging and laying. It doesn't matter to the
Diggers whether the road is kacchha or pucca, all that they know is digging and
digging alone. The Layers are not bothered about the future requirements of
Diggers and they keep laying the road again and again. In this process the road
rarely belongs to the users and the taxpayer's money literally goes down the
drains adjacent to the roads and into the open manholes on them. None of the
road users have any hint on why the roads are dug or laid so repeatedly and so
the status of any road remains always unpredictable.
