Mysore Road Flyover - Maintenace gone all wrong

10/16/08 12:10 - Ravi_D

Creating new infrastructure generally takes the spotlight. Maintaining it is not, but it is as important. When properly cared for, things live long and strong.

Road Dust In Bangalore

10/16/08 08:49 - Ravi_D

During late 80's and early 90's, I used to love and look forward to the mornings-after-rainy-nights in Bangalore. Pollution was a problem then too. But such mornings with crisp, clean, clear air was something else.

New tracking page for ABIDE and Karnataka 2020

10/16/08 05:51 - admin123

Talking of Abide and Karnataka 2020 task forces, some like the concepts (eminent personalities helping with their ideas), some hate it (unconstitutional, without accountability). Regardless, the two task forces are here to stay, and look to be set for some serious business.

Tata Motors: The makers of Nano do not consider Road Safety their Priority

10/15/08 12:13 - asj

Dear all,

I write after a long pause on this matter. After letting go off intial anger, I still wondered whether or not to blow the whistle (in a way) on Corporates that oft claim to be the Champions of people and society. Part of me perhaps was worried of becoming infamous for the wrong reasons, being mis-understood etc.

Health care - systemic crisis?

10/15/08 11:09 - navshot

Do you live in Bangalore? Were you or someone in your family hospitalized in recent times? Do you have an insurance cover? If the answers to all the above questions are 'yes', then there is a great chance that you (and/or insurance company) paid an inflated bill. Worse still, there is a chance the hospitalization was not required in the first place!

Will those days ever come back

An old friend from Girgaum (densly populated South Mumbai) found me on the web. I left Girgaum in 1991.
 
But his e-mail or part of it is worth a ponder -

Mangalore Real Estate - Looking Up

10/15/08 05:02 - Naveen

Real Estate prices in Mangalore have been increasing by leaps & bounds. An article in TOI today (15th/Oct) states that several 1-crore-plus apartment blocks are being constructed with heavy demand. This is astonishing since all Metros are facing a slump & prices have in fact dropped in certain areas, such as Whitefield in Bangalore.

Are we hopeless? A random thought....

10/14/08 12:43 - Ravi_D

We visited Wonderla this weekend. I should say a pretty well planned and well maintained place. Few incidences here to make a point.
