Guys whoever was filming that, come on you broke the ice tooooo fast. First thought was wow walking on the moon really. What a laugh. Really good one. Did you send it to the Vidhan Sabha where they’re busy mocking themselves Kursi Chors. Let them see the reality

Haha….so now we know. Neil Armstrong never went to the moon. He just came to India and moved around the potholes!!

Why do we need to go to the moon when we are making moon in our roads into moon.

The potholes are increasing in number & growing in size. In many parts of Bengaluru what is left of the roads is being dug up either to lay cables or pipes. There is no co ordination between agencies & no 1 bothers to repave after digging so we have dangerous pot holed roads!
