Bail us out: consume

11/08/08 13:16 - murali772

Well, that recession has, since then, blown up in our faces as companies, banks collapse and governments rush with billions of dollars to their rescue. And myopia seems a global malaise. What should astound us is not the crisis, nor its scale or its devastation, but the response of our financial and political managers.

I got challanned

11/08/08 12:12 - murali772

While I do appreciate the recent drive by the traffic authorities at enforcing rules, their letting off the regular violators like the autos, BMTC buses, call centre vehicles, etc, and for much bigger offences, makes them susceptible to charges of partiality, or other forces at play. Do they want to do something about that?

If you want to imagine how the elevated highway is going to look post completion, start with few month old pictures from foto sun @ flickr (see below). The one on right is my favorite though.

Obama win - whats' in it for Bengaluru

11/05/08 06:41 - mcadambi

The recent win of Senator Barack Obama has certainly changed the core nature of the United States. That an African American could be elected to the Presidency is a far contrast to the time before 1965 when African Americans could not even vote.

Planning in India? What a farce.

11/04/08 04:07 - do-it-yourself

I always wonder why we face so many problems. No sooner is a problem solved, than the solution poses a new problem. Why don't we have long term solutions?
