Bidit Roy on Instagram: "Thank you for 4M views. Here’s my take: 👇 1. This highlights one of India’s biggest enemies - systemic corruption, second only to terrorism. Despite paying crores in taxes for infrastructure, property, services, roads, and utilities, many Tier 1 cities, including Pune, are becoming unlivable. I love Pune, Maharashtra, and India - but witnessing this breaks my heart and enrages me. Accountability, planning, and transparency are essential if we truly want to rise in GDP and the Happiness Index. 2. No doubt EVs are the future, even though I personally prefer ICE vehicles. But before promoting them aggressively, fix the infrastructure for all road users. We’ve seen EVs perform well during floods across the world, but this is no way to arm-twist the public into buying EVs - especially after aggressively pushing SUVs. Now there’s a new sales pitch. People should switch by choice, not because of manufactured problems. 3. I have immense respect for the delivery partners I saw braving floodwaters- just to ensure their families could eat that day. While you and I could afford to wait it out, they don’t have that luxury - not with tight timelines and mounting pressure. It’s a tragedy that the administration and politicians have abandoned them. They deserve so much better. 4. Many small countries and cities - like Singapore, where it rains heavily - never flood. Send your teams to learn proper urban planning. And if you can’t, let us know - we’ll do it for you. 5. The financial losses due to standstill traffic, vehicle damage, and property loss flushes all progress down the drain - literally, into a water park. I truly hope the powers that be wake up and engage in serious, sustained work for the welfare of the taxpaying citizens - and all other earthlings of this country. Jai Hind.

This happens every year like clockwork. Shitty road design, terrible maintenance, and rampant corruption ensure the roads get choked up to hell the second it rains.

All we can do is laugh mirthlessly and make jokes about it.

      Oh there’s a lot of shit in that water.

      Edit: i just realized how racist that might sound. Flood water. Any flood. Flood water is poop water, if there’s any human population nearby.
