Recently me and my friends were going to EKM from Pala on my car. I dont have to mention the condition of the roads here in Kerala. Its near to pathetic at some places. So while on the main road i took a short cut and we reached an narrow inclination. The road was so broken that it seemed only an off-roader could go through it.

I asked “Why the hell are our roads like these ? Where to the f**king road taxes we pay go to ? “. For that my friend Lijo answered. He said, “Hey this is not a broken road as you see. Its actually a part of a big project that our government is running”. We all wondered what he is talking about. Lijo continued,

“We all know that Kerala faced a severe water shortage few years back. After some studies its told that Kerala has very poor ground water reserve. Its happening so because the rain water flows to rivers and seas as soon as they fall. So these “guys” engineered a plan to collect the rain water. They told if we make pits on the surface of earth it will collect water and wont let it flow away, instead will seep into the crust, which will solve all the problems. And our government found another brilliant way to achieve this. Instead of making new pits they let the road suffer serious damage, this will collect the rain water and do the rest of the trick. In addition this method is cheap and practically doesn’t cost a “paisa” to the state.”

We all burst into laughs at his rubbish (by the way he did it knowingly) yet logic joke. Isnt it people ? This might be a possibility for the pathetic roads we have. Even if it isnt the reason, is it due to this we are now having plenty of water ? You decide whether it has any logic or not.
