Does God's work make you suffer

One of the best edifice in Bangalore city is the Vidhan Soudha. This houses the legislature of the state of Karnataka in India. The beautifully crafted building stands out and would attract anyone passing by to say the least. Atop the structure there is a sentence  etched out on stone, coloured with Gold and it reads thus Government Work is God's work

This sentence would actually give each of the citizens a re-assurance that people sitting inside this building who are otherwise called Govt servants would be doing work that literally HAS to be the best for the well being of all under their governance. You would find that Govt servants do only things that they think are the best but the difference is they do only things that are best to line their pockets and instead not the best for the areas under their governance.

God would never do something that is not the best for his people. He cares, considers and plans well and ahead for his people... however Governments ruling this state of Karnataka has always governed with nothings. The latest set of people in power have taken charge close to 6 months now and nothing much is yet to be seen. Bangalore City accounts for the largest tax paying people in this state, however walk around on the roads of this city you will know that they are not roads instead mud paths covered with some asphalt to make it look black ! Its supposed to be the Silicon city of India, well not so. Vehicles that roam this city hardly have space to even trudge along since the roads are all clogged with either no space or open pits dug up to lay some cable ages back, craters that stare at you from the earth's belly. The rulers haven't a thought in their mind to still allow more and more vehicles to be sold in this city. Auto rickshaws.. well they are a rule to themselves, who can park anywhere, drive anyhow, fill any liquid into their tanks to make the 3 wheeler run and then smoke the hell out of the people.

To make some change apparently Municipal Corporations were merged into the City Corporation, this exercise ran into couple of years and finally emerged ' Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike ' which means Greater Bangalore City Corporation !. The hitherto Municipal corporations at least ensured that Drainage's were maintained, streetlights were replaced on time, roads got some repairs... now that we have a greater corporation the unified entity has only added to the woes of people, no maintenance is at all happening, not at least in Mahadevpura Zone.

No point in showcasing these anomalies... but makes me wonder and ask Does God's work ever make you suffer !!
