Train and rain

2 July 2007 - 4:32pm — shas3n

The more I read about the way BMRC is doing things, I must admit, the more impressed I am!

Now they announce that they are going to harvest rain-water. They will collect and store rain water and use it to water the plants that would be planted beside/below the track.

Not so Easy-auto?

Easy auto is an intiative from BTRAC to make commuting through auto-rickshaws easier. I really like the motivation behind this and wish that it becomes a success. When successful, we will all be able to get an auto at the ease of pressing a few buttons.

Catching the slippery one

I often get stuck in traffic jams on my way to work. On those days when I am too tired to hold the book in the bus, I look out of the window to see if I can figure out the reason for the traffic jam.

Delayed projects and cost overruns

19 June 2007 - 6:32pm — shas3n

So that summarises it all.. Litigations, problem with acquisitions delay your project and you end up making it much more costly! Thats a nobrainer to me. Somehow I am missing something the people at power are seeing, or vice-versa.

Looks like the problem is not unique to BMIC project alone.
