I would very much prefer a nuclear reactor instead of solar panels converting natural vegetation and ecosystem. I’m against commercial solar farms as they inflict catastrophic damage in India. Solar should only be rooftop of buildings.

Double whammy if you are a woman AND a cyclist. Except you get used to being both and navigating a world made for man feels as natural as cycling on ORR in rush hour.

Overheard: Being a woman is kind of like being a cyclist in a city where all the cars represent men. You're supposed to be able to share the road equally with cars, but that's not how it works. The roads are built for cars and you spend a great deal of physical and mental energy

THE REASON WHY WE DONT DESERVE GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA!!! This is the Rs 100 crore cycling track in Gachibowli. First solar cycling track in the country and second of its kind in the world! Here a Congress leader performs final rituals on the track, including taking

In Bengaluru we often have heated arguments about 'reducing' road width (to achieve uniform road width) and 'widening' footpaths. If you think of this from a capacity perspective, you will see the point. Particularly in the context of Indian cities, mixed mode design is

Dont eat old food. Cook your food fresh irrespective of gender. If you dont have much time, make a quick 1 pot meal or even kanji. Stop romanticising stale food.

Why are India's upper classes suddenly protesting for a good life? 'Escaping India is not a guarantee of a better life anymore. So a fervent wish has come to be: how nice it would be if Indian public life were not hell... I have an idea for more effective protests. Across all

#HotTake326: Fixing traffic doesn't require flyovers or highways that tear through the city; it requires political courage, guts. India needs a leader with the courage to champion traffic solutions that are politically unpopular but actually work. 🇰🇷Seoul removed a highway

Besides the obvious, here are few more reasons why I personally dislike double-decker pillar design. 1⃣ These will be built even when they aren't needed. Since the metro carries most of the corridor's load, adding a flyover on the same alignment becomes an unnecessary layer,

Bengaluru’s voter turnout stays around 49%, meaning half the city stays silent while others decide its future. Broken roads, flooding & zero accountability are the result. Your neighbourhood needs your voice. Don’t sit this out. Choose better. Vote BNP. #NammaBNP

Thanks to regular commutes on ORR, I was well trained to handle rough terrain and ongoing constructions on the trail. It was practically homeground. Fingers crossed that the beautiful kaveri trail holds on despite the constructions.

Just by believing these facts you can live a healthy life: 1. Air fryer doesn’t cause cancer. 2. Whey protein doesn’t cause kidney failure. 3.Turmeric tea has no health benefits. 4. Paneer is rich in saturated fats( opt for low fat paneer or tofu) 5. Ayurvedic/ herbal drugs

How can we have money for long tunnels, extra-long Metro lines, elevated skywalks and ring roads, double-deckers and more but not for buses and footpaths, which are far cheaper and would serve people everywhere?

Elevated roads in cities are a terrible idea. Take the Minhocão in São Paulo, for example – an urban highway opened in 1971 that has undergone a major transformation. 🧵...

Voting is how Bengaluru takes back control. With ₹20,000 crore budget, the issue is accountability, not money. This election, vote for BNP to bring real change and rebuild Bengaluru with participation, not promises. Register, vote, and reclaim your city! #NammaBNP

@Boenau Few things are more of an unnecessary eyesore in these cities than ugly bicycles scattered everywhere. And unlike cars, bikes don’t really take you anywhere you couldn’t just walk to, only slightly faster.

Choosing life partner is a personal choice. Choosing commute mode is a choice of convenience and also personal. No need to mix the two. I rarely post my pic or my family. Thanks for all the lovely comments.
