How to fix a pothole

1. Remove stones, plastic covers or any dirt that might have gotten into the pothole.
2. Pour a thin layer of chocolate syrup like looking liquid.
3. Fill the pothole with chunks of tar.
4. Pour another thin layer of the chocolate syrup like liquid.
5. Sprinkle white stone powder all over and wait for a BMTC bus to run over it.
6. Pothole fixed. Flat and even road ready.

As simple as that! Waiting at a bus stand I saw the whole process, hardly took 20 mins. Lot of people gathered to witness it, may be because it is such a rare event. But not anymore. The municipality seems to be on a road fixing spree, I see a lot of patch work on roads these days. God bless them. I hope they fix all pot holes mentioned here http://www.bangalorepothole.com/

Here in Pune, the process is similar.

Only difference, for step one, you need a dumpster !!
