No Auto, bus or Uber, was forced to walk home from Koramangala to Jayanagar today. It's an inhuman system that's completely dysfunctional. I cannot express what I went through and how pathetic it felt to wade my way through traffic with no footpaths. Hell on earth

NAGASHREE BOOK HOUSE is closing! for folks who grew up in South Bengaluru. This is sad news! Half of my bookshelf over the years is from their collection. Please visit and help them clear their shelves. Will miss you Venkatesh and Prasad sir. Owe you so much!

20th Main Jaynagar,T Block! How to kill a footpath! Build a building on it! This is the third time I am posting this issue! Now I’d like to request the authorities to raze it down and make the encroacher redo the footpath!

A lawyer for forests! Worth rereading this piece again, given that the forest conservation bill amends got passed. I guess it’s one way of eliminating opposition!

What has changed since the last city election? It feels like the same list of concerns that keeps getting larger nd larger! Quality of life, down the gutter!

I just can’t get over how accurate this quote sounds. The idea of law, often lost in its technicalities perhaps needs to be brought back to life, with an inclusive and a more integrated approach!

How many of us know that St.John’s medical hospital and college were an outcome of a young female doctor who came to India during the world war I and II? The story of a young woman and her relentlessness is what drove John’s to be the institution that it is today! ❤️

Great morning reads! Mulling over G.Austin's Indian Constitution. The quote by Nehru cited here is just so apt for the times we are in.

It’s just heart breaking to see the number of old houses that have been up for sale in Jayanagar,while change is inevitable,the fear of a disappearing neighbourhood and what it was meant for once is eating me up.Helpless

What the neighbourhood lost was one of the very few female candidates who was approachable and concerned about issues of gender equity and environment, clearly they never make for an election agenda. It is the men who voted, the men who won and asked for a recount! tsk tsk!
Reporting from Jayanagar in Bengaluru where allegations and counter allegations marred the BJP’s win by 16 votes. Congress is questioning why MP Tejasvi Surya was present in the counting centre and why multiple re-counting of votes were done.
Pretty good air quality in our city today folks. Mostly in Green with running averages in yellow meaning moderate pollution levels. Source Do go for that run! 🍀
Visited Gandhi Bazaar for coffee but got back without having any as the area has been transformed into a dust bowl! Unhealthy

This piece in today’s Hindu makes a case for the rise in MGNREGA jobs as an indication of GDP growth figs being faulty.However, the worrying alternative here is to open up mining reserves in India and in its deep seas to create jobs!Discounts displacement and Env sustainability!
Right to clean air and water are fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India :) It's being violated on a day to day basis. Laws nd lawyers only as good as its implementors!
