Domestic Tourism - Bangalore and Karnataka

Domestic tourism is a powerful economic activity. It holds the potential to bridge the urban-rural divide in our state. We live in a very beautiful state, with range of tourism options - leisure, pilgrimage, nature, history or health/medical. Karnataka has a tourism ministry, but its performance and focus on domestic tourism is largely unchecked and not monitored.

Road Cutting - Empower RWAs

In the current system if a person has to dig a road they have to get the permit from BBMP after paying the prescribed fees. The prescribe fees are high  - they are in the range of 1200 to 1500 per meter. For 40 feet road, it will cost as much as 15000 to 18000. Not to mention the additional convenience charges that one might have to pay to get the permit sooner.

Green Bangalore? See this picture

A picture speaks more than 1000 words. Look at this snap. It is a new electronic display installed just few days back at Kundanhalli Gate signal, Bangalore. Also look at the tree, whose branches are cut so that the display becomes visible to all. 

Future of Old Madras Road?

Can anyone enlighten me as to what will happen to Old Madras Road once the Metro comes.

Will it be widened? Is there any plan by any authority on this?

My experiments with lane driving

After we saw good inputs on this post , I was really interested how would it really look like if some one practised lane driving. So I have given a try in my own way in Hosur Road, which has now clearly marked 3 lanes from Silk Board to Electronic City.

Escoms need to perform first before seeking tariff hike

If Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom) wants to hike the power tariff, you have the right to question its performance. As per law, the inefficiencies of the electricity supply companies (Escoms) cannot become a burden on consumers.
