If there be pothole
In a sidewalk of road,
Place on it a commode
And make it a SH! T-HOLE,
For, authorities all—
Municipal we call
Deeply are asleep,
So, let them RIP.

The accompanying picture taken from Bangalore Mirror shows a pothole in a busy area called ST Bed Koramangala. To wake the Municipal Corporation from its deep slumber, someone placed a commode in the pothole.

A humourous write bringing into notice the utter carelessness of Municipal authorities. They are not waking up even as so many accidents happen due to open potholes.Recently a threeyear child died by falling into an open borewell.This is India.Here shifting resposibility is so easy. Thank you Sir Aniruddha Pathak for this timely write.
Thank you Bharatiji, your sentiments are right in place. The public anger on such passivity seems to have not helped. Let us hope, such humourous interventions would work.
Ha ha ha What an amazingly humorous write. A clever technique to prevent falls on such scary pothole. An excellent write, Sir. Brilliantly penned. Loved. reading it.

First, thanks for the good words. Second, my impatience always walks a few steps ahead of me. And hence when PH comes out with the notice that the page is not traceable, or does not react on entries made, my impatience declaRES REBELLION. (tHIS CAPITALS ARE UNINTENTIONAL) .
