Voilà!

Why the hell did you want a bridge there, where it fell? Wasn't dying on roads adventurous enough for you for not wanting to try it underground.

They say, it had to be done before the Commonwealth reality game show. Then who had told those six exceptions to go under the mortar bulk and pretend to work? This is what happens when you do not emulate the precedents set by your managing team. Do they really come there to inspect? Do they ever stand under the bulk? And even if they do, do they really inspect? With time, also goes away an opportunity to learn, if you manage to live that is. Good practices need persistence of effort and an intent for professional responsibility. Didn't they show unquestioned faith in Gammon India, to call it back for a major contract notwithstanding the similar 2007 Hyderabad fall. There is always a next time.

With so many distractions around, it is very difficult for Caeser's wife to be absolutely virtuous. If you couldn't get what they want you to know, try to recall the famous Hindi film communique: In big big countries...such small small things...will continue to happen! Everything cannot be made public. They wanted to hammer the road inside. It was creating problems for commuter-traffic. So they decided to let the bridge fall, then the girder and some three cranes too, just in case the first blow doesnt do its bit. They had even warned the workmen and people residing nearby, of the safety hazards and requested them not to fall for the live television coverage by risking their lives. But sincere advice and prompt action doesnt always win appreciation. Despite of all this, what they take ahead in their "Ohh. We have learnt this now.." kitty is the understanding of a very complex theory that has kept engineers and designers from across the world, intrigued for centuries: "To lift something, the counter weight must be heavier." Eureka! Since the cranes collapsed because of a mechanical fault, they would now be using heavier cranes! Gods grace is gratifying! Even if resignations are tabled by rusted swords in their own scabbard, I am sure they wont bow down. They would continue to look forward with unperturbed optimism for their chance to work again with Gammon India, make pockets green and learn something new!

Shame.
