A letter to Mr. Brunner

vvr - 6-JUN-2008

I got a little tired of scouring various web sites for pictures of BIAL so decided to drive down to see the Real McCoy. The letter that I am planning to send to Mr. Brunner was triggered by this visit. WARNING: This is long and mindless.

Being an MBA graduate with a PhD, Ravichandran who handles classes for MBA students at Madurai Kamaraj University in Tamil Nadu, says he earns Rs 40,000 per month after 20 years of experience. "But my student who did an MBA course last year, already earns about Rs 10,000 more than me", he says. He said only 5 per cent graduates from these streams opt for teaching.

Traffic police - why stand and deliver?

silkboard - 5-JUN-2008

Was driving my F-I-L's Santro the other day when I was stopped by one of those police parties. 5 of them, settled under a thick tree. Half of them waiting to stop unsuspecting vehicles, the other half busy 'punishing' the 'successful' catches. I never get stopped when driving bigger cars, but the 9 year old santro 'fit' their criteria.

Bengaluru airport compared to other international airports

vivek_shankar153 - 5-JUN-2008

Hi all,

The Bengaluru airport as we know opened recently on May 23 and was long over due.

Anyways that's done better late than never. But I am sure many people on this forum would have travelled to many places and seen many airports round the world.

How Industry can help reduce traffic congestion

Photoyogi - 5-JUN-2008

With the rising cost of fuels and the congestion on the roads one would hate to drive but as work demands we grind our teeth and just pull along. How long is this going to work?

BIAL and RGIA, a comparison

anent - 3-JUN-2008

Two new airports that opened in quick succession, the comparison was inevitable! I thought it was a good idea to set the records straight by doing a comparison between the two and while I am at it, compile some useful information too. I am glad to share it on Praja and look forward for your comments.
