Unlike other cities where they have potholes only on inner roads, we in Hyderabad seem to prefer having them on our main roads. That maybe because we don’t want visitors to Hyderabad to miss out on our fantastic potholes. We want them to know that we Hyderabadis too are pretty deep into potholes as well. Also, having potholes on main roads is one way of revealing the Hyderabadi character- we don’t mind a few bumps in our lives and on our roads as long we get to have our daily dose of Irani chai.
The municipal engineers in Hyderabad seem to have forgotten that November is already over since there is no sign of any sort of road repairs which, if I remember correctly, they promised to take up sometime for the middle of November. I wonder what their excuse is this time for not taking up the repairs. Maybe they feel the potholes aren’t deep enough to warrant filling them up. Or maybe it is the rains. It looks like the potholes are going to be around for a long time.
Whatever, I feel the potholes in Hyderabad are just like Hyderabadis- big, like their hearts and empty, like their heads.
