@DeccanHerald editorial on #BengaluruTumakuruMetro: • Misguided on multiple fronts • Waste of public funds • Availability of funds is not a licence to squander it on an ill-conceived project; a white elephant paid for by foreign capital is still a white elephant. @WF_Watcher

First look of #PinkLine prototype train coach being built by BEML: The train will arrive in Dec, against the original deadline of June. Equipment shortage & lack of facilities in India for type tests delay train supply. Is Pink the new Yellow for #BengaluruMetro? @WF_Watcher

You can’t do justice to certain stories by limiting them to just 600 words, can you? I tried to do so, but I felt I could have easily written 20,000 more. Adikavi Pampa once said, “Byarasalke thakkude gruthamumam thailamumam.” Try decoding that. https://t.co/grDrExfbMX

For all these days, I was under the wrong impression that the tunnel project was aimed at solving Bengaluru traffic problem. Now, DCM has clarified that it is intended to solve a social problem - of people not wanting to marry a man without car. How stupid I was!
