Ajay - On the Road called Life!

Received an email from Reno of Sho()ot My Blog.
I quote the purpose of his blog:
Take an original photo of my blog with your digital camera or mobile phone and send it to shootmyblogAThotmail.com. There’s only one requirement : your computer monitor or laptop (with my blog title/homepage visible on the screen) must appear somewhere in [...]

You may have probably solved this before.
I have, but whenever I get to it again, I get stuck….
Had this in excel format, but here is the Intelligence Test Online

My dad sent me this via email and found them really cool. Here’s for maths lovers to go all oohh.. aah about…
1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98

And my report continues. Not much development in the manholes. It hasn’t gotten worse from yesterday nor has it gotten better.
Manhole 1 - Day 11

Manhole 3 - Day 09

Additionally the road situation on the junction has just worsened.
Horrible traffic, bad roads, this is Mumbai!

Missed day 09 because I was late for the bus and wasn’t able to snap a pic. However, didn’t miss that much, as Day 10 wasn’t a disappointment at all.
Manhole 1 has broken still further. There is nothing left of it.

Manhole 3 has worsened still further thanks to road work just adjacent to it. What [...]

When I arrived at my stop today, both the manholes in a worse state since that day.
Here’s Manhole 01 on the eight day:

And Manhole 03 [...]

Following up on my post, we enter the third day.

The condition of Manhole 01 hasn’t changed much since yesterday, but neither has it been repaired.
And I found another manhole nearby in a much worse state!

I won’t be able to get feedback for Day 03 to Day 07, because of a two day training programme I [...]

This is a follow up of my yesterday’s post and developments on the same.
The first manhole has broken still further, while the second has been repaired. I wonder why they didn’t repair both

Will keep you updated on the status of the first…

The place where I catch my bus every morning near J.B. Nagar has two manholes.
A few months back one of the manholes broke a bit and within the next two days it had crumbled completely. Instead of it being repaired I found stones around the manhole. It did get repaired finally.
I missed photographs then, [...]
