** LIC **

Had been to Fort today. The huge building adjacent to the Fort (forgot the name), which houses many of the Govt offices and was constructed in 70s caught my eye. Couldn't help but pity the awful architecture. A typical third rated TN Govt contractor's construction. The structure was awful and the broken pathces all around with protruding iron rods makes it even more an awful sight. Compared to that, the famous LIC building, which was constructed much much before that building looks a lot better with its modern architecture. LIC doesnt look attractive, but it doesnt stand as an eyesore either ( In fact, LIC building has elements of modernity about it, with glass finishings in the front and all that). When will the Govt contractor's improve their standard? Probably, when they dont have to pay a huge chunk as bribe !!
