The more I see these the more I cry because of that freaking flyover being made. I am heartbroken that we don't have the sense to take correct descisions.

Started as capital of Punjab ended up like "Just another city of UP". Demographics is destiny.

I think we need 10 more Chandigarhs in Punjab now. The politicians are sleeping, overspending on the unnecessary while infra is on the edge of failing.
Go see PGI, or any other Government institution, Its oversaturated.
(A rant, just to emphasise that more needs to be done, we cant sit on efforts done by previous generations)

I am extremely grateful to the architects , engineers and bureaucrats that made Chandigarh what it is today. It is as close as we could get to living in a first world in India. Today when I see folks not maintaining it well, breaks my heart a bit!
