It took 10 years to build. It cost Rs 1,600 crore. It was opened on July 1. It is the cynosure of all eyes. And to help everybody identify it easily (at Sharad Pawar‘s suggestion), it has been named after Rajiv Gandhi. Still, a motorist finds it irresistible to leave his imprint on the newly opened 5.6 km-long Bandra-Worli sealink in Bombay.

Must’ve been a blissful experience for the person in the picture relieving himself and probably (?) jealous feeling for the photographer because he was pushed to second slot?

Go to any bus-stand urinal and just watch the number of people urinating on its wall outside even if it is empty. This is our culture

Why taking picture of this guy?? Brave reporter, concerned citizen, getting kicks in usual way, I see.
Next time make post on why everything in country is named after nehru jokers, They are ones who have turned india into banana republic, such that the racist miliband goes on slumdog tour with rahul in amethi. Shame.

or may be he is pissing at the sycophancy and the bankruptcy of the elite, who could not find a name appropriate enough for it or to honour the sacrifice of the thousands of unknown men who toiled to build it.
to name it they could only find inspiration in the manufactured persona of a person who would not even be given an oppurutunity but for his name. who was really a nepotist of the worst kind and who lorded over the most primal of human instincts that resulted in slaughter of thousands of innocents.
worse self proclaimed rationalists in the year of their lord 2009 could not find it within themselves to raise a voice gainst this blatant exhibition of the the darkest and most unelightened of human instincts.
a long dead person who had neither the vision nor the inclination to build this particular bridge gained primacy over the thousands of unnamed daily toilers. and our intelligencia lorded over this.
maybe the unknown indian is pissing at all this.
agree completely with tatha.

You go, TS. How does Gangadhar (or name of your choice) Karmachari Sea Bridge sound? I would suggest something like this be done for everything named for a politician, maybe, just maybe, excluding M. K. Gandhi.
In Karnataka, everything named for Indira Gandhi is a marker of Devaraja Arasu’s slavish mindset; everything named for Sanjaya Gandhi is a mark of Goondarao’s bootlicking approach to success; everything named for Rajiv, especially educational institutions, a man who did not complete work for his degree, is an indication of our Congresswallahs eternal “jee huzur” attitude; one cannot even count the memorials honouring local dabba politicians.
Can we at least name the Bangalore Corporation office building in honour of the nameless workers who toil for a measly hundred rupees a day at the risk of catching several infectious diseases? No, not for somebody who claims to be their leader.
Our shouchaalayaas should certainly be named after politicians. ” (name of politician) moothrapankthi” sounds good to me.
