The name board has a message which is defeating Bengaluru. Clean and Green Bengaluru is a dream.
Bengaluru is undergoing ghettoissed. There is a very important need for Public spaces in a place like Bengaluru. Public Libraries,Parks,Cycle path and Pedestrian walk strips.
The gap between the rich and poor is increasing by the day. There are people who drive into their home which is a gated community and their office which has a parking lot or to a mall which has a parking lot. They keep cribbing about the infrastructure and roads because that is the only time they face pressure. The society in India needs to be more inclusive. People have to interact with each other. It is becoming a Capitalist society like the United states which is facing all the problems.
We are late in our development model, but we have an advantage of planning it better based on our needs. Let us ban the use of Cars and give importance to Public transport. It is important that we realize the need for a revolution of this kind.
Public space is environment friendly and socially compatible. If we have a isolated city which only supports the cause of rich industrialists then we are in for trouble.
Good to see the road clean with out any traffic. Was this taken on a Bangaloe bundh day!
I congratulate China for the space walk. Some clippings were shown on TV where the a Taikonaut was in space outside the space capsule waving a flag. If you observe carefully the flag was wavering and and falling as he rotated it, as though there was some atmosphere and gravity. Can this happen? See this site.

@Tarlemaga, good ideas, but will we ever see such good things in India? India is increasingly becoming a capitalist country. I fear in another twenty-thirty years we’ll be like western countries. Look at anything – essential goods, housing etc everything is becoming costly and we are seeing a surge in development. But at what cost? Is the common man happy? Are we really witnessing the kind of development that we wanted?
Bombay Store on Old airport road is a great hotel! Traffic beyond that hotel is very thin these days!
More than anything else, Bengaluru needs public toilets. It is disgusting to men/women alike sitting on the road side during the morning hours. Bengaluru never had a problem like this a decade back. Now it is turning into another Mumbai or Lucknow
I was at Vizaz recently, the city is maintained very clean and on all roads and crossings near the market place and beech, they have MOBILE, pay and use TOILETS stationed. It is a very good idea and it is very popular with the local vendors and baggers.
A suitable one for Bangalore.
