Somethings that caught my eye

  • Population density of Bangalore district, 2001: 2985, NOW? 4378

While the number of persons paying online may have doubled this year - from 32,000 to 71,000 - many more may have logged on, and then logged off in frustration. Property owners in several parts of the city were in for a shock, when the computer refused to accept their payment, saying they had not paid the previous year’s tax.
