🚨 “From Scooters Detecting Potholes to Boats for Monsoons: India’s Tragic Habit of Adapting to Problems Instead of Fixing Them”
Welcome to India, where potholes are not accidents — they’re permanent landmarks.
Where floods are not disasters — they’re annual festivals.
And instead of fixing infrastructure, we invent gadgets to survive it.
Now, automobile companies are making scooters that can detect potholes and alert you. Sounds futuristic, right? Nope. It’s actually shameful. Because it screams: “We’ve given up on solving the real issue — broken roads.”
Here’s why this is not innovation, but adaptation to failure:
1. Pothole Detection ≠ Pothole Repair
The fact that companies need to build scooters that “detect” potholes says everything. Roads won’t be fixed, so your scooter must dodge them. Genius or shame? You decide.
2. Boats for Monsoon Season — Coming Soon?
If scooters can detect potholes, don’t be shocked if honda launches boats for indian monsoons. After all, it’s easier to sell boats than build drainage.
3. Tech Adapts, government Snoozes
Private companies innovate to cover up government inefficiency. Instead of accountability, we glorify “jugaad.” That’s not progress, it’s a permanent band-aid.
4. Infrastructure = National Shame
In developed nations, innovation solves new problems. In India, innovation exists to tolerate the same old problems — potholes, floods, blackouts.
5. We Celebrate Survival, Not Solutions
A pothole-free road? Too ambitious. A scooter that alerts you of potholes? “Wow, what tech!” No. This is failure glorified as achievement.
⚡ Conclusion: Fix Roads, Don’t Dodge Them
India doesn’t need pothole-detecting scooters. It needs pothole-free roads.
Until then, every beep from your “smart” scooter is a reminder: We don’t solve problems — we live with them.
