Anti pothole movement

It appears that the BMC is well on its way to filling up all of the potholes in Mumbai by tomorrow. Notice the word appears. You see, the highcourt forgot to specify what it means by 'filling.'

Those of you who grasp basic cosmic (as opposed to cosmetic) physics know the concept of anti-matter. Well, the new buzzword in the municipal/urban government arena is the anti-pothole. And unlike anti-matter which is incredibly hard to create, anti-potholes are a snap. All you do is take any cheap, locally availables substance. Like rocks. And sell them to the aforementioned goverment at incredible rates. Once it is bought, you get cheap daily wage flunkies to put them into the holes. And instead of finishing it flush with the road surface, you raise the filling to exactly the same hieght as the depth of the hole you're filling. Et voila, anti-pothole!

And believe me this is true. The pain in my neck proves it.
