Asking Questions?

I have been thinking and thinking, and thinking a lot on what should I be blogging on. Well, I've realised that I am good at asking questions - so I would be frequently asking questions - perhaps that needs some thinking.

So here it goes:
Can motor accidents on Mumbai's roads be reduced?

Are Mumbaian's living in an international category city? If yes, are the roads upto the international standards?

Aren't we ashamed of the conditions of this international city?
Which bureaucrat approved the standards of such roads?

Did this bureaucrat or his/her representative visit and verify the actual site before approving the final bill of contract?

Do the Municipal workers who completed the road work (potholes, post-digging) every stop to think of the quality of work finished by them and the impact it will have on the subsequent traffic and people movement?

Are they careless because they think they are never going to be driving on them?
Does the government/municipality deem the current state of the roads fit for travel by elderly citizens, pregnant women and those who are in a delicate state of condition?

Do the motorists think nothing of giving way to an ambulance or an emergency service vehicle in a tearing hurry?

We would certainly want to know how many people have lost their lives because these emergency vehicles did not reach their destination on time?
