More clouds and no roads: Monsoon Nagaland

Beautiful land, beautiful people, beautiful festivals and terribly scarred and ugly roads don't go too well together. Only if our roads were living beings they'd sort themselves out in no time. Unfortunately they need human intervention in not only using them but also maintaining them regularly. Give to Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar...but it's time now to give to roads the public funds that belong to roads - the God of all transportation and communication in this remote rural patch of Earth.























Here's something to cheer for after all the grotesqueness of what used to be nice, smooth, death-risk-free roads a long time ago. A sight that money can't buy nor be marred by human selfishness (for now at least).

  2. Thanks a lot! It can get terribly cloudy here and with the conditions of the road all we can do is pray while driving. :o)

  3. Nice post...
    Our roads are a shame. No wonder our babus prefer mostly Boleros and Scorpios :p
