well looks like GHMC has come up wid a plan to take care of this menace----->
In a bid to make Hyderabad a pothole-free city, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation has decided to involve the citizens by launching a campaign called ‘Pothole Free Hyderabad.’
Citizens can take photographs of the roads with potholes and upload the same on the GHMC website. Special teams of the civic body would then quickly fix the potholes using the ‘ready mix’ during the night hours. The drive is set to start on Friday.
Asked about the ‘lifespan’ of such roads, given that they will be repaired in a quick-fix manner, GHMC city planner Anjaneyulu said, “We will be using special heating equipment that will work on 'infra-red carpeting' technology. This equipment will heat the surface up to 120ºC and fix the ready-mix or shellmac (a mix, which can be used directly on wet roads) strongly.”

Bombaywalla, fab shots of tony Altamount, Carmichael and Pedder Rd.

Dont know about others, but I see an obvious challenge re: re-development.

To digress, elite Af.-Pak. 'students' go into communications, marketing and obviously MBA's around here. Pak. military-industrial complex kids. Kids. Kids who have been directed to go into the above, never mind religion. I refuse to believe that S.Asian teen or post-teen kids are mature re: academic pursuits.

• The need of the hour in S. Asia and specially India is communication and collaboration experts to facilitate development vs. all the entrenched left wing socialists who are nothing but smug, brat-pack and morally reprehensible NIMBY's (not in my backyard types).

Dire need to re-develop, un-lock value, amplify well-being by smart intensification in Altamount, Carmichael and Pedder Rd. and other 'lite areas of India. Fantastic for decent, community oriented, people focused real-estate portfolio investment Co.'s.

Put it this way, a 3/4-bed is Rs. 3-5 Cr.'s now from less then 1 Cr. 10 yrs. ago and a slick metal-basher is Rs. 1/3'rd-2/3'rd's of a Cr.

Middle class powerhouse. Auto's give it away.

The cars and auto's in the above post and above show a middle-to-upper middle class 'burb.

Only later did things move on and after the Oscar's re: Slumdog movie did the 'burb start cropping Jag.'s, Landy's, Audi's, Beemers, Benz's and all of the sedan models under that and above the sub-compact segment.

It helped that said metal bashers set up local shops and started spitting out their branded metal-on-rubber bashers at somewhat 'local' prices.
