Our village path is getting paved, hooraaay! The news was published in local dailies last week, so it must be true, and the tenders were set to close yesterday. That is what the tender programme said.

Of course, we know what is written on paper and what happens on the ground often vary, because of something called tenderpreneurs. They are crooks in smart suits and distended bellies whose work is to sniff around for public projects where procurement of goods and services are involved.
