“Men did not love Rome because she was great. She was great because they had loved her”.

kaundinya - 19-JUN-2009Similar to BMTC website, I find there is no website of Mysore Transport Department. Ideally we should have a website giving details of timings and route details. Also with the recent addition of 16 volvos as city buses, this is all the more important. We need information about volvo bus route maps. |

Urban development - the skill gap silkboard - 2-DEC-2008
Time for a boring post. A habitual visitor to MoUD website, I was waiting to put up a small summary of a policy paper that showed up recently. Its called "Capacity building scheme for urban ...".

belgaumblog - 20-AUG-2008
I have just found a Belgaum city map of 1894 from the Bombay Gazetteer. The image was in a pdf file & of low resolution and is not very clear. Thanks, Mr.Vilas Patil, a Belgaumite, now working in Pune who has made the present version on the image which is better viewable. See Belgaum in 1894 and now, it has changed. I request all the readers to send in their comments as to what changes they have found in that map and the current Belgaum.
