Traffic Problem due to Mantri Square

Entering Malleshwaram from Majestic side has become horrible during week-end afternoon, mainly due to newly opened Mantri Square Mall. The biggest mall in India created the biggest mess in Malleswaram. The planning and approval of such a mall on such a road is highly questionable. I hope the mall collapse itself, after initial euphoria, due to lack of clean entry and exit points and car parking space.

hello happened to read your posts... one can really showcase his editorial prowess via these blogs..

With your experience in the Govt and private sector..dont you have a solution...

Have you read the article in bangalore mirror how some cops put a no parking board in front of Le Meridian...taking a cue, if the traffic dept puts up a few No-Parking sign boards around the mall and ensures all those who have violated the order are fleeced. Public will stop visiting the mall, and the mall has to increase as well find new ways to enter the the parking area. Isnt this unimaginable in our country where everyone wants to be a sycophant (?).

HOW TO TREASURE ENVIRONMENT AND EDUCATE ABOUT TREE GROWTH TO CHILDREN

🌍 What Should We Really Do on World Environment Day? Every year, we celebrate World Environment Day by planting saplings, writing blogs, conducting environmental quizzes, or organizing painting competitions. These activities are important — but are they enough? What do we do for the environment the rest of the year? And more importantly, how do we teach our children the real value of trees and sustainable living ? Watching nature documentaries or listening to lectures may create momentary awareness, but do they leave a lasting impact? 🌱 A Real-Life Environmental Education Example from Bhutan My son recently shared a simple yet eye-opening anecdote his teacher told him — one that made me rethink how we approach environmental education. In Bhutan , young students are each given a tree sapling to plant and care for. This isn’t a one-day activity — students are responsible for the tree’s growth throughout their school years, sometimes up to 10th grade . Their academic performan...

A trip defeating the Inhibitions

🌍   Introduction I’ve been fortunate to travel across the globe—meeting new people, exploring hidden corners of the world, tasting exotic cuisines, and immersing myself in diverse cultures. But nothing compares to this  Panch Kedar Trek,   I under took a few days back, in hinterlands of Uttarakhand state of India. This wasn’t just another adventure; it was a journey that challenged my fears, redefined my limits, and left me transformed.   This was first ever trek in my life. 🛣 ️  Conquering Motion Sickness Since childhood, I’ve battled motion sickness. Even short hill drives to places like Tirupati or Ooty would leave me nauseated. But this time, something changed. Despite the long and winding mountain roads, I felt perfectly fine. It was as if the Himalayas themselves had blessed me. Jai Bholenath! 🏔 ️  Overcoming Fear of Heights I used to avoid heights—terraces of tall buildings made me dizzy, and looking down from a hilltop was unimaginable. But on th...

We Eat What We Sow: A Simple Village Story with a Powerful Message

Image
Are you a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian? Have you ever paused to think why you eat what you eat ? Our food choices are deeply shaped by culture, society, geography — and as one insightful village story reveals — even by what we grow . The Invisible Connection Between Agriculture and Eating Habits Anthropologists have long studied food habits across societies. Food isn't just sustenance — it's identity, tradition, and a reflection of how communities evolve. A friend once shared with me a fascinating observation, sparked by a concern from a villager in a remote hamlet. This villager lamented a change in his community’s food pattern. The roadside tea stalls that once served simple, vegetarian puffed rice snacks , were now replaced with flashy stalls selling chicken kebabs . You could call it the effect of globalization, or maybe a shift in local taste. But his explanation was deeper and more profound: "We eat what we sow." A Village That Once Lived on Paddy ...
