It has been raining right since Sunday morning, and it has been pouring all through Sunday night to Monday morning.
Can still hear the thunder and rain outside as I get ready for work.
While I have to go to work, I’m well aware that most of the roads in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai are going to [...]

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 [...]

This is the follow up post from Manholes - Day 03. As I said, I wasn’t able to take pictures of days 04 to 07. However, the BMC hasn’t disappointed me.
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 [...]

Had to attend my Grandma’s birthday party last evening and since my bike was giving problems I decided to use public transport to get back home from work.
Left my workplace a little after 3.30pm and hitched a ride with a colleague heading towards Thane. His plans changed and I had to get off at Rabale [...]

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, [...]

Mom just subscribed to the Hindustan Times Corporate Offer @ 250.
You get an annual subscription of Hindustan Times for only Rs. 250/- plus a Tupperware kit (good one, I personally checked this out )
I don’t know how good the newspaper is. Reading the Economic Times consumes a good amount of my travelling time, so [...]

Firstly my apologies to dog lovers. Am just using the phrase.
Ever since Hutch took over Orange in Mumbai, the future doesn’t seem so bright anymore!
Besides getting rather erratic signal, I’ve experienced loads of cross connection problems. And this hasn’t happened to just me!
What is even more surprising is that a full signal drops several units [...]
