Request to KMF society to reduce use of plastic materials for distributing Milk products Ramesh Menon - 18-SEP-2010
As we climb the Chamundi Hills Banglore, we get to see a warning board requesting us to keep the place free of plastics. I was happy to see it as I drove up. A visit to the temple and then to the exclusive Nandini Shoppe let me down completely. The outlet is selling milk products in plastic sachets which are thrown around by customers after consumption. |

Have you heard!, Bangalore doesn't have ventilators for poisoned children. This is the news in Deccan Herald.

These drains for more than 20 years, carried only storm water when it rained and otherwise were quite dry. On an average, they are about 1 1/2 feet wide and about 1 1/2 feet deep. |

Is Bangalore a city with a soul? cvikash - 27-JUL-2010
“Men did not love Rome because she was great. She was great because they had loved her”. He said “Love must be encrypted into the DNA of urban planning… and transmitted into the artifices, buildings, road systems and hardware, which then tells the people that this is a city that you can love, and one that loves you back.” |

Practical Road standards for manageable Cross Sections psaram42 - 27-JUL-2010
A road is not the mere outer visible surface. It is a volume to be precise. [This “Volume” concept is more attractive than conceiving a road as a 3-D object. Thanks to my visit to CSTEP some time back]. Its underbelly is the home of many services essential for the city / place it serves. |
