Potholed roads after the monsoon is too familiar a sight for every Indian. The inferior quality of material used by the contractors in making of these roads in connivance with the official machinery results in big potholes in the roads. This has been going on for ages and the general people now accept it as a way of life. A take at the same.
The Punjab congress has been in virtual turmoil with chief minister Capt. Amarinder Singh and PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu at loggerheads with each other. With Congress high command backing Navjot Singh Sidhu, the chief minister had no option but to resign. After resigning from the post, Captain has hit back at Sidhu, reminding everyone of Sidhu's visit to Pakistan where he had embarrassed India by embracing Pakistani General Qamar Javed Bajwa. Captain says that Sidhu is too mixed up with Pakistan. A take at the same.

Indian "Jugaad" mechanics are famous for making anything on this earth work. A take at the same.
