Nowadays, its taking me 2 to 2 and a half hours in travelling from my residence to the office and on the way back, on a strech which shouldnt be taking more than 40 mins. Really bugs me a lot. I know(read it a number of time), its all for a good future, but then this future is having a time limit. Our government digs up roads, for laying of utility pipes, water pipes, telephone lines, etc, . They put up the same boards, for your better future. But then within a span of 2 years, we see the same boards again.
This is nothing but short sighted nature of our government. They cannot see beyond their greased palms. If they really plan for a better future, then they will see to it that for the next 25 years, there will be no more digging, the underground utilities should at least last for that much.
Take the far sightedness of the Britishers. Their drainage systems are still intact , or a few about to collapse now, but after more than 100 years of building them.
Why cant we have such a governance. A government, which when it builds roads, see ahead of 5 years-10 years and builds new cities, with broader roads. Vehicular traffic is always going to increase, do what you can do, Population is rising up fast, we need better infrastructure, an infrastructure, which at the time of upgradation also shouldnt be a cause of hinderance to the regular flow of travel.
We need visionaries, who can work without the babudom hinderances of pocketing the funds for upgradations.
But is it possible, I can only day dream about it.......maybe the day will come...whats stopping me from dreaming while sitting in my car for 2-2 and half hours.:)
