Business placards and hoardings neglecting/insulting Kannada

04/21/08 08:10 - nijavaada

There are several instances in Bengaluru nowadays wherein placards and huge hoardings put up by business establishments to advertise their product or shop are insulting the local language - Kannada - by printing Kannada characters on a miniscule scale, whereas English (sometimes even Hindi) characters rule the canvas and are larger than life itself.

New e-procurement portal - transparency!?

04/21/08 05:12 - silkboard

I didn't know about this new e-procurement portal launched last year by the state government. Have a look here (site isn't setup right, watch the warnings). What should interest us most is "transparency". There is a section intended for "citizens", cool! But the citizen's page doesn't have much right now. A list of tenders is available, which shows up only two items. There is a news and information link too, but that leads to a third party commercial website.

Signboards in Bengaluru : How useful are they?

04/17/08 15:54 - VishalMaharaj

Signboards in Bangalore: It is very apparent that we are facing a tremendous space crunch in Bangalore, on road or beside it. Now, apart from expanding the city to accomodate the needs of ever increasing population, we can also modify the existing pattern to fit the needs.
