Now this is a combination to dread.
Although Bangalore is fast growing and developing, the condition of roads here is not far from pathetic. Come rainy season and the roads are picturesque with puddles and eroded roads all over Bangalore. Not to mention the garbage strewn on the roads that causes havoc. The worst are roads when there is a construction work in progress. I envy the car owners who manage to keep themselves secured from the mud splashes and pools of sewage water that is abundant during rainy season.
I really wonder why in India we cannot have good roads constructed once and for all. Why we need to mend the roads every year?
Come rains and the roads are washed, I mean literally washed away, what remains is bumps, puddles and the remains that were once a road.
I recollect the pun inflicted on the collaboration between the various Indian departments in the advertisement from "The Times of India" shown as a feature film before a movie in theaters. Its one forceful expression of what actually happens in Indian context and how a common man reacts to it - "Yeh aise hee chalta hai!" [This goes on like this only].

Contractor agar road banaiga...to khaiga kya?? Kankad!!
Road bananey ka theka usey milta hai...fir jab kharab ho jati hai to fir se bananey ka....uski roti chalti rehti hai. Ek baar mein bananey se uska yeh bhi nuksaan hai.
We need to change our attitude - "Yeh aise hee chalta hai!", We the citizen of India are responsible for the suffering inflicted upon us by the system. Unfortunately we are AFRAID.
We need sacrifices, to bring a change in the current system, we cannot afford, we have families to take care of. We continue to drudge in the misery and blame the system.
"Yeh aise hee chalta hai!"
