Pune Roads : We Give Up

The author of the blog is suffering from Positivaria - After continious suffering from the disaster for a considerable time , Victim appreciates the positive things that come from the supposed blunder out of sheer hopelessness & frustration.
Recently observed - Among Pune road commuters
Last record of outbreak - Observed among Pune road commuters (Just Last year)


This is just a factual, informative article unlike all the crap written by the ever-bickering media about the supposed worsening state of the roads in Pune.

Earlier a 'Road' used to be a strip of land, smoothed or otherwise prepared to allow easier travel, connecting two or more places. That is before the Pune Muncipal Corporation bagged the 100 million dollars deal to make Pune into a testing ground for Mars Exploration for NASA.

Back then , 'Tar' used to be a by product from the coking of coal ,in lay person's terms ," the thing required to make the above defined road " . Ironically , It is useful for patching cracks in roads but since our corruption.... err... sorry ..corporation is so focused on duplicating Mars , the use of genuine tar in road construction is a hangable offence.

Excepting a few corporates like stupid Naushad Forbes , corporates are looking forward to the 100 million foreign investment that will help in the development of Pune City that includes
a> Funding for Project CDDP (stands for Constant Dynamic Drainage & Pipelining...yup the same one where they wait to dig out good roads)
b> A bigger pandal for the Pune Festival (Everyone needs it!)
c> Construction of 7 bridges at prime locations
d> Assign 'Heritage' status to the older incomplete bridges
e> Construct 15 state-of-the-art subways which will be built before we build the roads because the decision makers have the IQ of a sea horse. (My apologies to the sea horse community)

Phew...hmmm...forgive me for the bitter blog. Well...the roads are not that BAD!! Actually , I am just upset cos somethings wrong with my flirting technique and I am unable to determine what went wrong with such a well-tested formula:

Greeting her with a lot of flowers , romantic candlelight dinner at one of the cosy Koregaon Park restaurants & a long night drive with her in my car.

MORAL - On these roads , Going for the long night drive is NOT a way to express your love. On the other hand if your stuck with a really mean girl (Rumour is that my blog is read by children too) , make sure you take her for a long drive on Pune Roads - It works at the cost of an impaired spinal cord and defunct car shock absorbers. Cheaper trick is to take her for a walk on the peaceful bridge & thank our competent , efficient corruption... err... corporation... cos the bridge is 'Heritage Incomplete':))

P.S. - Joey , Positivaria victims are NOT HIV positive.

You should read the comments by Puneites on the petition for pune roads. They are quite "expressive"
