The Wet Welcome

I find myself pointing out lot of negative points in Bangalore. Not that I am being pessimistic. I'd love to do anything worthy to bring back the lost glory of Bangalore.
But in the meantime, I find it necessary to highlight the not-so-good things that I come across in my daily routine in Bangalore.

The following is in front of my Apartment. There has been no road on this lane, Kaggadaspura Main Road, since this particular stretch does not come under BDA maintenance it seems. The road ends near the railway track, 300 damn meters from my apartment. And to cover this, the government has been lax. After continuous pestering by the residents of the various apartments on this road, something is happening now. But then, as we all know, they dug up ditches and removed the present mud road, and left it in its state. And what a brilliant idea to time it during the monsoon. I mean, I appreciate that they have finally taken some step, but! is it only for eyewash or did they really plan it out and start earnestly?
Also, they've quoted that the timeline is around 3 months worst case. 3 months! to lay around 500 meters of basic residential area road! And they've dug everything up during the monsoon.

Check out the state right outside my apartment this morning:






This is nothing compared to the woes faced in areas around a 100 meter from my place, or in the various other low lying areas in the city. But situations like these are breeding grounds for diseases and epidemics. Everyone knows it and we have discussed it to death. Yet, isnt there anybody in the positions of authority to resurrect Bangalore???? Anybody??????????

PS: The Samsung E250 Camera rocks! Clearly outperforms itself!
