murali772 - 14-NOV-2008
I was born and raised in Bangalore in a traditional old bungalow in the heart of the city in National College Circle in Basavangudi. It was gifted to me by my late aunt with much love over 20 years ago. To my great sorrow, this property will soon be destroyed by the disastrous planning of the 'Namma Metro'. |

BATF model - love it, or hate it? silkboard - 30-AUG-2008
In the midst of reams of paper devoted to potholes and sticky roads (come rains, and newsmedia remembers road quality issues) I caught two tiny paragraphs devoted to things that may deserve Prajagale's attention.

If the middle class lives in
secure communities, then how will things improve?
If the movers and shakers opt
out
of sharing the problem that everyone else is facing, how will things
improve?
When the middle class
evacuates a
sphere, like education, or healthcare, doesn’t it go to the dogs?
These are a set of questions asked in an outlook article on gated communities. I have attached RK Mishra's take on these questions. But, beyond his opinions, what do you think? This by itself is a loaded question, but let us extend this beyond gated communities and ask similar questions about SEZ's and satellite towns. If industry and enterprise go to exclusive enclaves, will not the city go to the dogs? Or is this all so much more theory? Or is it? To be part of the solution, do you have to be part of the problem?   Bangalore Bangalore's Premium Gated Community pics: fabalaTD |

tsubba - 29-JUN-2008
#1. at yesterday's meet, the media reports that while the CM spoke on finances and the big picture, the heads of various departments spoke of issues at a much finer scale, and the members of various RWA's spoke about many nuts and bolts issues[1]. (Added later: After I have written all that I have written, I observed a curiously familiar position on sakrama, property taxes and egovernance by a name very familiar. I am 99.87% sure that our own Silkboard has found mention in that article. which means he was there. So he will defintely post his field notes. You can ignore this post.) |
