Will These Change Anytime by Anychance??!!

It is the heart of the city. One of the Posh areas in Chennai city...The place where it is said most of the famous personalities live and the top most entertaining department works here 24*7. Even the most privileged Oscar Award and the winner resides here. Its nothing else but Kodambakkam. It struggles with various problems. Even completing more than 60years of independence, our government doesn't wish to forget British rulers nor want the public to do so. That is why they remind us about them in various forms. One amongst them is by show casing the British electricity connections to the public now and then :) Already even in some places where the electricity lines are quite fine, power supply proves in sufficient as there is a minimum 2to3hours of power shut down in TN except the main cities. In between this, in the most important cities like Chennai, the Electricity Connections reminds us of the power shut down in other places by bursting out now and then :) If an electrical engineer could happen to see the cables provided by government which works from inside the road and from transformers, he will definitely faint down as the quality is to the core worst. This is what makes us doubt whether the govt is safeguarding the connections done by the Britishers :) Neither these connections resist with an average rainfall nor with the hot sunny climate. More than public, these are the most affected to the climatic conditions :) Of course how come we can expect it to resist??!! We should not forget the point that these are the cables which are purchased through the so called Tenders by the Govt. Tenders are those which has different groups of people competing for the contract and in government's view, whom ever quotes the lowest rate will get the contract signed. Apart from this there is an unwritten rule too ie a suitcase with so and so should have got transferred to the concerned Minister :) So under these circumstances how can we expect for top quality cables which proves efficient??!! In fact when we are unable to get efficient rulers itself, how far are these cables!!??!! :) Moving on to the next is the infrastructure. The ruling party in the state today boasts for its success over bringing up various fly overs around the city. But did they ever think about the internal infrastructure ie street and main roads??!!! Never did they. So even in most acclaimed areas like kodambakkam, people are forced to suffer with worst condition of roads. There is no evenness in the roads which make the rain water enter in to the houses when it rains heavily and the most pity in this is a particular part of a street(slope side) suffer because of water entering in to their place but the other part lives safely. This is because the roads are not even. One more thing which i want to share with you is the brilliance of our government and The Electricity Board in TN. The matter is:

We should pay them a sum of money as a deposit kinda(we all have paid it in fact) and they say the sum paid is returnable to us when we write up a letter and surrender the connection ie if we say them that we don't need power supply, they will return the amount to us..I was Awe-Amazed when i heard this from an official from TNEB :) :) Who will do such, as there is no alternative option for power supply??!! How brilliant our rulers are!! :)

Concluding, We have Oscars here in the City but is that alone enough??!! Or just the Fly Overs(most of them built for personal benefits) are enough for the city??!!!
