I love my evening walks with Kavita. Bundled up in our colourful sweaters, hats and, fleece jackets, we enjoy the changing colours and moods of the winter season.
Orange and yellows and reds are everywhere. Every other house has planted luscious marigolds giving us lots of marigold envy. We will have to plant our own paneeri soon.
Of course, we saw more digging up of the sidewalks. There were 3 men laying cables at the corner of East Service Road and Major Road junction. I went up to them and , started complaining as usual. "Why are you digging up the whole city?" "With whose permission are you doing it"? "Why isn't there any signs up?" "You guys always damage other cables."
These were Nayatel guys. I have a photo of their van. They said they had come down to fix their own cables because the Transworld guys had cut up their cables.
A few months ago, our PTCL connection got cut because of this digging which seems to have been going on for a good several months now.
I simply don't understand how a company can start digging up pavements, streets, middle of bazaars laying cables, without any signs, cordoned off areas , in a systematic way. On top of it, it doesn't look professional at all.
I have this constant rage at how the city administration seems to manage things: overflowing garbage dumpsters, damaged public property, overgrowth, flowing gutters, no zebra crossings for pedestrians, and so on. And, I live in 'posh' area of the city.
We had our walk, arrived in F-11 bazaar to enjoy some Chicachino tea and snacks and then had an ice cream at Manolo's.
See picture of Kavita studying her ice cream cone intently.
