When the road was being tarred, there was a car that was parked.
They could not find the car owner, and just decided to continue with their job.
When the car moved out of the road, it revealed a neat patch that was not done!!
Surely, the classical dilemma –
compromise on deadline for quality or
compromise on quality for deadline
– must have crossed the minds of those working on the road!
These are men at work! August 7, 2007

… they are working to set right a fault in the BSNL lines on a rainy saturday evening! This was quite a unique sight along the kerb of a busy road in Indiranagar (in Bangalore). So what about it? Well, the working conditions! See these men … sitting in the mud and slush, under a tent made using a plastic sheet. I think they could have been better equipped.
I wonder who is to realize that people at work should get the right gear for whatever work they are doing!
I wonder if it is lack of education or awareness. I guess it is both. With education you know why you need what you should need and with awareness of rights/standards you would know you can demand those.
And for most part I guess it is ignorance and indifference …
