Yes,i admit it has made a lot of progress....here is my take on the progress, as convoluted it may be
Background- Only In India will you find in the pitch dark of the night , road diversions (for the countless roads being dug) in the form of BLACK DRUMS. I will not get into how harmful the consequences can be because we are all intelligent people here, but here are the benefits and the likely Beneficiaries (Bet you did not know this though!!!!!!!!!!1)
Arjun Singh (Honourable HRD???? Minister),
Dayanidhi Maran( Honourable IT & Telecom Minister,
Ramadoss (Honourable Health Minister),
Chidambaram (Honourable Finance Minister)
Seksarias (Gujarat Ambuja) & Kamal Nath
R R PATIL (Deputy Chief Minister Maharahsra)
...and pretty much everyone in the government...and this great nation INDIA
Here is the simple equation
BLACK DRUMS = ACCIDENTS = 50% OF MUMBAI DUG UP = MORE ACCIDENTS =.........
- = FATALITIES / CRUSHED LIMBS = HOSPITAL CARE = REQUIREMENT FOR DOCTORS = VACANCIES = MEDICAL COLLEGES = RESERVATIONS = ARJUN IS SMILING
- = INJURIES / FATALITIES = RELATIVES = PHONE CALLS = RELIANCE = MTNL = ARITEL / HUTCH ET AL = GREATER REVENUES = LOBBY = POLICY ANNOUNCEMENTS = MARAN IS SMILING
- = FATALITIES / INJURIES = INADEQUATE HEALTHCARE = SPECIALITY TRAUMA CENTRES = EXPENSIVE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT = MORE MEDICAL COLLEGES = PERMISSIONS = MORE DOCTORS REQUIRED = FILES = RAMADOSS & EVEN ARJUN SINGH STILL SMILING
- BAD ROADS = FATALITIES = NEED FOR BETTER ROADS = BETTER MEDICAL FACILITES = MORE SERVICE TAX = NEED FOR SPECIAL ROAD SAFETY CESS OF 180% = NEED FOR VAT ON THIS = MORE PERSONNEL TO MAN THIS SYSTEM = MORE JOBS = MORE TAX PAYERS = MORE GOVT JOBS = SONIAJI'S PROMISE = CHIDAMBARAM & YET AGAIN ARJUN IS SMILING
- BAD ROADS = CONSTANT REVISION OF TECHNOLOGY = CEMENT REMAINS A CONSTANT WITH EXPONENTIAL GROWTH = MORE CONTRACTS = COMPANY EXPANSION = JOBS = RESERVATIONS = SEKSARIA IS BOUND TO BE HAPPY BUT AGAIN HAS ARJUN FOR COMPANY
- ACCIDENTS = FATALITIES = COMPENSATION = INVESTIGATIONS = PUBS ARE BAD = DANCE BARS ARE BAD = PRESS CONFERENCES = HOME PORTFOLIO = R R PATIL IS SMILING
Bottomline, remember that god forbid if you are ever part of an accident and even depart
for the The Heavenly Abode, remember you are doing it in the national interest of all these
great leaders and wnigs of government who are 'giving us their lives' ..only thing they dont
realize is that in the process they are just taking ours. Honestly when i started to write this i had
no idea how bad roads contribute to the overall good of this country. I feel so stupid all these
years being critical of the various governments. And us Indians were wondering how this
country is growing at 8 %.
Disclaimer : The writer would like to expressly convey his sincerest apologies if he has not mentioned the other 'happy' people who are
sacrificing their lives for taking ours be it the variosu state govts / bureuacrats / ministries / NGOs /Shobha De and the other
