Festival of Potholes

It was in the news that the municipal engineers are not going to repair the roads in Hyderabad until the fifteenth of next month. It means that Potholes in Hyderabad have time until the middle of November to attain as enormous a size as they can on their own after which the municipal engineers take over. The municipal engineers, under the pretext of road repairs, will then get to work and endeavour to further increase the size as well as the number of the potholes to the maximum extent they can with all the men and machinery at their disposal. Which means it is going to be a truly lovely Diwali ahead for us Hyderabadi motorists, especially those who drive two wheelers.

In crazy moments I get the idea that the real purpose behind the mission to the moon our space scientists are planning is not to study the moon, but to see if they can actually spot the potholes on our roads from up there. But if it isn’t their purpose, I really hope they include it as part of their mission. I'll bet we can spot the potholes on Hyderabad roads from the moon and I will also bet we can do so without using telescopes or such things.
The municipal engineers are doing all they can to fill our lives with bigger and bigger potholes as if we do not have enough problems of our own to contend with. Thank you, gentlemen. May your tribe increase. We Hyderabadis feel truly blessed you have chosen to work for GHMC.
