Now that I have had 10 second hand reports on this, its time to do some math on the black money generated by drunken drivers of Bangalore.

I had the privilege of watching the construction of a footpath in Southern California recently and capture some images over the few days the construction was in progress. I had always wondered how these good quality footpaths were constructed.

This picture was taken on the footpath opposite Aadishwar showroom on the intermediate ring road (some 50M before the start of the Domlur fly-over ramp - approaching from Koramangala side). While such instances are not isolated across the city, what I found unique about this particular installation was its cross-arm covering almost the entire width of the footpath.

The right to services act has been enacted in some of the Indian States like J&K, Rajasthan and a few others. The main purpose of this proposed act in our state is to hold our government officials including some NGOs accountable in providing various services promptly. The important issues are both time frame and satisfaction of the common man.
