Indi-Con!


Hey there everyone... see that adjoining pic? That's a simple pic of an Invitation for Proposal.. for the sake of making some good infra out there. I vividly remember someone calling me a cynic and a pessimist. My answer was, "I am so big of an optimist that I look out for tenders in the newspaper so that I can have some pleasure (and an assurance) on there's something going positive over there in India ". That said, can you folks pick out the odd thing in the pic now? The Con! Okay... lemme explain...
Check the Section meant for two-laning... km 0.000 to 77.000 on NH-77. Now check the length in km... frigging 85kms... if I am doing the maths right it shouldn't be more than 77.000 itself. Now I know why people are opting for PSUs these days... the 6th pay commission will more be a cushion for the taxpayers' money they would rake up from the extra 8 kms.
Now girl... is that a pessimist's eye or an eye for detail?
