I never felt this thread is about bashing on Bangalore traffic. People who come out with ideas to solve traffic issues could very well contribute (thats exactly what I have posted about the traffic wardon and home guard etc.) and make a difference here. Its not just reporting an issue, but also finding a solution, that we make a difference as team-bhp. Can we do that ? Offcourse we can, we have enough people to group up and think about some serious solutions to the issues around, be it traffic, be it social work, be it motivating the public, anything

!
None of the discussions are supposed to hurt any sentiments regardless of anyone is a native or a foreigner. Infact, I have come across many so-called 'outsiders' taking more interest in social works and public awareness that are pure selfless service without any reward. So, lets not categorize people on colour, creed or state, it doesnt make any sense.
You think the change of name from 'Bangalore' to 'bengaluru' is liked by all natives ? If you believe its a YES, you have no clue what is the soul of the public here. My interactions are mostly with senior citizens whose 5 or more generations are born and brought up here. Some of them have designed this city itself, trust me, I am not joking. Some of them have seen the present 'outer ring road' as a 3 feet mud road full of trees and thieves ! Travelling through certain roads within the city itself was fearful as many areas were isolated. Right now we hardly find a place without traffic. Think about this: you are in the middle of traffic crowd, you get a cardiac arrest or robbed by someone. You scream out loud, do you expect someone will come to your help ? Frightfully NO ! So, tell me what difference it makes from 50 years back to the present day ? Those days it was lack of people around and plenty of thieves, now its too many people around but none have time for others, and we have highly skilled thieves too
Extend your helping hand to others. Talk less and lets do something practical. We have no other choice to continue having a quality life around.

One suggestion - Why not start spreading awareness and responsibility among our colleagues?
|
There is already a huge awareness session taking place regularly both from the Govt and social organizations. We as a club visited 500 schools giving awareness classes and organized road satety programmes in MNCs, Banks, Public sector organisations. But its just a drop in the sea. Offcourse, team-bhp can do a lot of things. If we dont do it, someone else will do that for sure. If this forum needs a back up of one of the prestigeous 39 year old club, I am all open to do anything in that line. I have posted the same idea many many pages back on this thread itself.
Let the ideas flow, let Bangalore shine in its full glory, being a model city to others as well !
