“Swept by throngs swelling around me
Peopled with kings and commoner
Reined in by the invisible yokes of reason
Peopled with kings and commoner
Reined in by the invisible yokes of reason
And the warm tyranny of the familiar
F***!!!! THUD!!!
This is what would happen when you ride behind a bus or a car and see a huge pothole in the middle of the road, In Bangalore!!!
Happily I was riding the bike, listening to Karmic Steps by Motherjane when this happened!
Reminded me of reading an article in today’s Bangalore Mirror on the number of Pothole’s in Bangalore – 11000
[http://www.bangaloremirror.com/article/10/201105312011053101001364066d05b18/Pothole-count-starts-at-11000.html]The number of pothole’s on the very famous Bannerghatta Road , that would total around atleast 100 [ easily]
And 11000 potholes in the entirety of Bangalore has to be plain old bullshitting!
Perhaps the only road in Bangalore where no potholes would be is near the BBMP chief’s residence! That is a sight that no other road or locality would have. Neat sidewalks, benches, parks, streetlights, trees, well asphalted roads!
Hmmm, may be the BBMP chief has to be transferred to every area in and around Bangalore for a brief period of time and perhaps that place would improve too!
Until then,
“I hold the thought and walk off my pier
With hands outstretched to grasp the other
And I’m on feet that are yearning to rediscover
The feel of karmic steps craved on water…”
