So its been raining a lot - at least off and on. And of course that means that all the roads are in a real bad shape. And of course it rains like this only in India! Or the rain in India is special - its not the same water that comes down everywhere else in the world! I say that because you don't see roads going to this state in other parts of the world even when it rains there.
Every year the corporations spent huge amounts of our tax money on repaining the roads!! More like they give the money to contractors to "pretend" to fix/patch/make roads. Because the roads are "made" every year and next year, its again back to square one! Few rains and roads cease to exist!!! The only thing changes from year to year (or it might change) is which road wins the worst road contest in any given city. This year in Pune, Wakad Phata – the road going to Hinjewadi from Aundh is giving a tough competition and my guess is that it IS going to win this “Worst road of the city” contest.
In fact this road is so bad, that you can’t call it a “road” anymore… Its got potholes and potholes in the potholes… and then in places its 3 layers of potholes… Oh and of course to make up for these potholes there are bumps. Some of them small, tiny ones and others are nice and big!! In places its like driving your car on the side of a hill.
Anyone looking for adventure can come drive on this road and feel the excitement of driving on a dirt track, sand dunes and even the moon!!! All right here on this ONE road!!! Its most exciting to be driving on the side of a BIG bump – like driving on the side of a hill – and end up in a huge pothole right at the end of the bump!!
And many people working in Hinjewadi experience this THRILL everyday!!! Twice!!!!
And lets not even talk about how things are going to get even more exciting because of the Ganapati in the next few days....
I vote it as the Worst Road of the City ...
