Posting this on behalf of Photoyogi, he is at BDA junction right now, watching temporary traffic chaos live as the magic box there has just now been opened to public. First reports indicate that due to lack of clear communication on new traffic routing plan (see this recent post that has the new plan), folks are struggling to find their way around. Please tell your journalist friends to carry the new route map sketched here earlier in tomorrow's papers so that the chaos can ease.

I was about to be killed in an accident

Traffic

Today morning, I came from Mysore in a bus and got down in front of the Mysore road satellite bus stop. I had parked my bike in the satellite bus stand. I had to cross the road to go to satellite bus stand. It was real horrible experience with no considerations to pedestrains and road crossings. There is no single zebra crossing to cross the Mysore road and there is no sky walk either. We have to cross the road in the middle of the traffic. Vehicles will be piled up very long and mostly buses and trucks.

Energy Efficiency in Buildings

As the summer months progress and our hydro-electric reservoirs dry down, along comes the dreaded load-shedding. While it is true that the demand for electricity is far greater than the supply, I guess there is surely something we can do to shorten this gap from the supply end. For this post, I would skip the issues with ‘leakage’ or electricity and ‘grid inefficiency’ and would discuss about the technical and policy aspects at the end-user level. I hope you will be able to add your inputs and we can get the required policy changes through collective lobbying. (Image Courtesy jalalspage)

Shifting Bangalore's Burden To Other Cities

20 May 2008 - 3:31pm — City.Zen

One solution to Bangalore's problems is shifting of some of its burden on to other cities. This has been recognized by both the government and the companies both of whom have been working at it.

  • What are the factors which help a company to decide upon a location?
  • Why has Bangalore been the preferred city - is it the climate, the pub-culture, the tolerant and loving Bengalooru prajas, the absence of trade unionism, the supportive government, or the combination of all of these?
