June is here! Lakhs of Bengaluru 👧👶 back to “offline”📚✏️ Most of them can’t walk or 🚲 to school.Thousands of school buses ferry them. What happens to these buses after they’re done? They sit idle all day! Why not charter @BMTC_BENGALURU like the famous Valley School does? 1/n

A beautiful Bengaluru morning at South End that begins with #MeterAuto I handed a ₹100 & Mr driver gave me ₹20. No discussion. Took auto thrice this week. On meter :) #CatchRunningAuto

IAS/IPS Officers usually join political parties based on some kind of promise - a “safe seat”, Rajya Sabha or MLC nomination, party position etc. But @deepolice12 quit service & chose a political upstart that is yet to make any dent in Karnataka. Brave decision indeed!

I’ve seen this (now updated) hoarding today at @BLRAirport . Yogi thanking Modi. in Bengaluru. In Hindi. Paid for by the hapless tax payers of UP and rest of India that funds UP Government. This self promotion mania is a serious disease triggered by inferiority complex.

I’m tired of these deadlines and orders from CM and the Court. This is not the solution. We need to fix the disease at the root. Make ward committees monitor road works. Make road history public. Make maintenance part of road contracts. So much can be done.

Biggest reason to not use bus? Speed. Want to give speed to bus? Build a bus lane. See the magic. World over, cities are implementing bus lanes because the cost is negligible and the impact is tremendous. @felipe_ramir @rk_misra @rajeevgowda @RLR_BTM @personal2public

What a terrible image. Making a senior citizen strain. Contrast with how it was done in Karnataka (DH). Glad Hindu put it in front page & remind us how disabled friendly we are . We can’t even make things work for an ex Prime Minister. Hope this triggers policy discussion

Hey IT companies of Bengaluru, please try bus pool or metro pool, first :) car pool will help but won’t solve our problem Please get your employees to use public transport - metro & bus. More they use public transport, they get more credits that can be encashed for rewards :)

Hey IT companies of Bengaluru, I have a cool proposal for you: Make an in-house carpool app for your employees. More they carpool, they get credits which can be encashed into their payslip/meal card/Amazon/Swiggy vouchers. What will it get you? 1. Happy employees who will (1)

This poster has gone viral in Bengaluru WhatsApp! Reminded me of my own [Mumbai-Bengaluru] in 2016 :) Bengaluru deserves multiple mass public transport systems. That means Bus, metro, suburban with footpaths, cycling infra + autos. Our transformation too, will go viral ✊🏽

There is no excuse for not learning Kannada after living for 10 years. Do not disrespect the land that puts food on your plate and is home for your kids. Start talking using words you know - you will get there sooner than later. #Kannada

Interviewed a candidate today for a mid-management position. The gentleman is from MP, has been living in Bangalore for 10 years. I asked do you now speak Kannada and he nonchalantly said I don’t and I don’t see the need for learning.

224 pedestrians dead in 2022 in Bengaluru alone. Gone forever for crime of walking. 1,55,972 people dead in 2021 due to road accidents. 400 a day. If this is not a national crisis, I don’t know what is. A special session of Parliament and Assembly must be called to focus.

Only those that have no context of local culture & weather patterns. will bring European/US glass facades to India. There will be a million AC machines spewing poison in the rear & using up precious electricity. Glass brings heat in, which is needed in US but useless in India.
