Just thinking out loud! ![]() OT: In front of my office, there is a clear and large board which says, no right turn. But still people make the right turn and drive on the wrong side! I am going to mail about this to my HR too with some pictures as proof! | |

![]() 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. Quote:

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() There is nothing to go on and go on. I am writing something here thinking someone will join us in our efforts. If you cant do that, be happy with picking up something from everyone's post. Looks like you have plenty of time to spare. Want to join me for a 6 hour seminar next week ? Should be ready to stand in the hot sun for 2 hours ![]() |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I dont blame the city or the infrastructure; I feel if people are a bit disciplined it will make a world of difference. With our enconomy boom I guess we all will face this situation in every city we live in India hence lets not blame Bangalore. Few things which I feel effects our City a lot: People don't really have a liking and oneness for this place, hence dont care much. People here are just to make money as most weekends they travel to their hometowns. Have seen Cops sticking to the rule book but they are far too less from this bandwagon. Most people just dont want to follow rules and are not disciplined; they dont want too. Locals villagers who have sold land, see huge amount of finance overnight they buy cars / bikes and don't adhere to any rules as they feel they have money power. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() How many of you are aware of this notification from the city police ? Quote:
More personal numbers (mobile numbers) are requested for publication, since common landline numbers are always at 'no response' mode. So, there are many things happening around us. ![]() Last edited by shajufx : 26th March 2009 at 21:04. | |

| ![]() Thats interesting. Maybe you should start a thread on that. Many would be interested and jump-in. I guess this info in this thread doesn't do justice to your group's efforts. Quote:

![]() The percipitaion figures he has got from are wrong. LOL. The article gives no suggetion to better the traffic instead asks us to grin and bear the problem. I will reset my mindset but the next time a auto/bus/cab/private car drives across my path i would want to reset the drivers face. | |

Thats the way our city is and violence wont help us do any better. I beg all on this thread to stop ranting. When there are large scale of infrastructural development happening around the city, our traffic seems to go in a tizzy. We need to be patient. We have better days coming ahead. But Namma Bengaluru traffic is still breeze off late. ![]() | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Exactly my sentiments Spitfire, the article makes no sense and seems to quote figures incorrectly. Edit: PK, I have started seeing the breeze on ORR too. ![]() Last edited by Rocky_Balboa : 17th April 2009 at 11:53. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() Commercial Street / Kamaraj Road is havoc. My wife had not read the paper and drove to commerical street. Due to the military blocking the car park. She "wrongly" parked the car on the road as also many others. All the cars got "done" by the police. |
