[Assam] Crybaby

[Chan Mahanta]

A quick one here Chitta:

*** There was nothing to be agreeable about.  Whining, like Dutta 
was, or some of our friends do here in this forum leads to nothing. 
It would be of consequence if , instead of whining, one attempts to 
delineate the PROBLEMS, explore their causes, and attempts to find 
solutions for them.

I am surprised, that as an engineer, you were satisfied merely with 
the whining.

*** I was not condemning the Assameseness of Guahatians.  I was 
specific about the failures of PWD engineers ( along with their 
political masters) who DESIGNED and BUILT the most atrocious of urban 
roads, sidewalks and non-drainage system  that afflicts Guahati 
today; while its citizenry remained silent
spectators or inconsequential to its outcome.

Now there are good reasons for it. Can you imagine what they might 
be? Are you willing to dig into them? Why it happens?

Manoj chimed in to tell us that IF they wished , they could do 
better. To prove his point he named  an engineer who built good road 
systems sometime in a hoary past that still remain solidly 
serviceable.

The inference we should draw, from that is that Guahati PWD engineers 
and the accomplices do not  wish to perform their duties.  Why is 
that so?  Is it because  the Assamese are genetically handicapped?
Or is it because the Guahatians are so? Or could there be more 
intelligent  inferences to be drawn?

I ask the questions to help you think it thru. Now don't go silent 
and tell us why you think things are the way they are.

Finally, the designs of the roads, sidewalks, manholes, drainage 
inlets and other accessories that HAVE BEEN built  could not possibly 
have been designed by anybody with any engineering training.
Do you disagree?
