3/4th a engineer now and i guess i've see quite a bit of the all. Already get cursed for the bad buildings,bad construction,and so on. But still proud to be a Civil Engineer for the mere fact that nobody can live without us.
This is not self praise or anything but just that atleast for the approval of the Government our sign is required. Makes me feel proud for the demand people show towards us at times like that. Its so glad to be a Civil Engineer. The course has given me a lot more respect for all types of construction.
Lets talk about recent issues.THE ROADS. I know I know everyone wants progress in the work. I know work has to get done faster. I know everyone expects better roads. But has anyone ever considered paying their taxes in time or rather even doing anything for the development.
For a second lets just consider that we pay our taxes in time. Have we ever considered parking out vehicles on the edge of the newly laid road? Nope,we want our vehicles to come to our door step even at the cost of having bad road just in a couple of days. Do we ever consider closing up the dug up road for the drainage or water line for our own houses? We rather just fill it up with mud or stuff available around and later blame the bad roads.
Just for a fact,Concrete..the wonder material need 28 days to attain its full strength. Noone's really aware of it and we expect faster construction at the cost of unfinished structures and then later blame the system that the roads were not done properly.
I agree the level of corruption is high and the system is not right. But even when the system is fine in small little areas we screw it up. Is it our negligence or our stupidity?? Maybe its both.
I don't really know how many people will read this but i hope if anyone does will treat our roads in a better way because they are definitely a path to heaven if kept in one piece. Else we would just be down under.
