Monster on Wheels...

The title is maybe misleading. This is not a monster on wheels… this is a monster on trails. And I'm not talking about one of the army tanks that parade through during republic day or Independence Day. These are trucks that are supposed to aid in construction activities. I really don’t know what this machine is.


Chennai roads are not made to even stand monsoons. So, its anybody's guess what will happen to these roads in case such monsters travel through. This is what happens... This machine is literally pealing the roads apart.


And we just go back to the "authorities" and say they are not doing a good job. Well... can the authorities follow every damn activity that is happening. If all departments had that kid of manpower, then trust me, India would never face a job crisis and we don’t ever need FDI's to run the country. The only thing that can then happen is, everyone must rise up and do what they can to protect the system they are part of. And the best way to protect it... would be to follow it. If this bloody contractor follow the system - then the roads would be saved (atleast till the next monsoons), if the contractor who laid the roads follow the system - then we would have more navigable roads, if the person responsible for such operations follows the rules, then the contractors would have their jobs cut. And it just goes on and on and on.
