| ![]() White topping bhagya has arrived in Sir M Vishveshwariah Road near the Electronic City RTO. Don't understand why it was needed here as the roads were relatively good. Expect traffic snarls here for another 2-3 months. Last edited by speedmiester : 26th February 2018 at 09:28. |

| ![]() Few posts about White topping Bhagya just reiterates the absolute lack of planning in any activity which is undertaken by the city authorities. I don't think these folks are all fools, who just landed up in the government job through luck. Most likely crores would be given to the contractors to do this shoddy work, and a good share of the funds released would land up in the pockets of you-know-who. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Earlier we had to watch out for rash taxis driving close to our vehicles on all 4 sides the car. Now we also have to watch out for taxi drivers flying close to our vehicle roof. ![]() |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() KIAL has built the helipad just adjacent to the main spine road (near about the CISF remote checkpoint) as you drive towards the terminal building. Soon it'll turn into a tourist spot with empty cabbies and other 2W gawkers stopping or suddenly slowing down like they do on top of the elevated section next to Jakkur aerodrome! |

| ![]() With my brother out of town for a week, I have been dropping my nephew off to school every day in the morning at 9am. Over the last week, I noticed that the maximum number of traffic violations at this time is done by parents dropping their children off at school. Rash driving, driving on the wrong side, jumping traffic signals, not wearing seat belts or helmets - every single violation imaginable seems to have been pulled off. The final straw today was this guy driving on the footpath and yelling at me for not jumping a red light and giving him space to get back on the road from the footpath ![]() Makes me wonder. What sort of an example are we setting our kids? Where they don't think traffic rules are something important that needs to be followed. We are training another generation of rule breakers right from the tender age when we should actually be teaching them to be patient and following rules |

The little girl is going to grow up believing that this is quite normal and is the way to ride a scooter. Though cruel, I sometimes think we should let Darwin's theory take charge by removing all warning labels. | |

There is a real crude saying in Malayalam (and I would not use that here), which basically is about a mentally & economically poor chap, becoming rich and getting some power one fine morning. He would throw his weight around, and spend money lavishly; but ultimately the poor-ness in the mind still remains the same. To sound like an intellectual; people like this would remain in the "Safety, Love/Belonging & (a bit of) Esteem" regions of the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. We will never get a society which can innovate, think logically and without prejudices. Many of our favourite foreign countries have gone high up in this pyramid.

| ![]() Came across this article in BM that work on an underpass at Wind tunnel junction on old airport road and widening of Sarjapur road until carmelram junction will start soon. While the widening of sarjapur road will start by march 15, underpass work on Old airport road will start once BBMP gets police clearance. Looking at the way all the road work and other beautification happening around in bangalore, I just wish that elections comes sooner every time. |

With Innova kind of vehicles costing half of this for similar distances, its not that costly. Consider the time it would save. If all airlines can package their prices with this service, it could see lot of people using this service and we can have a thread about rants on Bengaluru air traffic !

There's probably one in every language and culture. ![]() The one in Hindi my teacher in high school loved to quote while admonishing spoilt brats in his classroom went: 'Paisa haisiyat badalta hai, aukaat nahi'. Translates roughly to 'Money changes what you can afford, not who you are'. |

With my Bernard Woolley hat on - those who are sitting in IT sweat shops are very unlikely to be studying in International schools. :-) |
