Situation mind boggling. Incoming /outgoing passengers left to negotiate their way with great dexterity. It’s free for all with jostling passengers auto drivers app-based drivers. Politicians , officials boast abt grandiose schemes but such simple issues are allowed to fester
Without any clear signage on the specific PFs the 2 #VandeBharat trains dep frm #Bengaluru Cantt. stn, auto drivers misguide psgrs who alight at main entry that it is far off & loot Rs 150 to go 100m away taking a detour. Psgs who alight @ back entry r fleeced upto Rs 500 to ferry them nr the VB PFs. Rly/RPF/GRP not avbl to help ppl @NewIndianXpress@drmsbc@RailMinIndia
Dear politicians of all parties,
Commuters in #Bengaluru really do not care if the State govt or Central govt is responsible for the fare hike. Just get your heads together for once and work at reducing the hike. 70 percent hike, even for a few stretches, is JUST not acceptable. Just reduce it for now and may be increase it gradually in phases.
Garment workers, vendors, workers on daily wages, clerks and admin staff in offices, 1000s of poor school & college students...all of them use Metro. Wake up. Your assumption that the IT crowd can easily manage the hike is ridiculous. Ppl of all professiona and varying income levels reside in my City

@suchi_a You hit the nail on the head. We need to inculcate the teachings of Dhabolkar, Dawkins, Hitchens so that people become rational and humanistic.
The next time I run my own company, will make it a 4-day working wk for staff & an option of 1-day WFH in it :). 3 days off every wk. Will open 1 branch across L&T Chairman Mr Subrahmanyan's house & 1 acr Infy founder Mr Narayana Murthy's house. Want them to feel upset daily :)
Congratulations and all the best for your constant quest for stories that matter. You are one of the few reporters with boots on the ground. This is a fading tribe in India. Most of them are desktop journalists.
Personal milestone: Completed ten years today at The New Indian Express, Bengaluru.
My longest stint in any organisation :) in my career. Breaking news daily, scrambling to cover multiple beats & working on the odd investigative story when I get time...quite an eventful journey.
Dear friends, some good news!
I won the 2024 ISG-IJG National Prize - Best Paper Award from the Indian Society of Gastroenterology (ISG) and Indian Journal of Gastroenterology (IJG) for our basic science paper published in 2022, on the gut microbiome and its association with clinical events in patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis.
This is the second time my group has won this award.
The first one, given in 2020, was given for our seminal and pathbreaking, foremost work done in 2018, on Ayurvedic medicines and liver injury.
Our DrNB Gastroenterology and Hepatology fellows received the award on my behalf at the 2024 ISG Annual Meeting at Varanasi this week.
I am glad to see our hardwork bear fruit and be recognized, and for the fantastic clinical and research team that I have the pleasure to work with.
My Airpods Pro got stolen from my own house.
Thanks to Vijay Kumar and Narsimhamurthy from Madiwala Police Station @BlrCityPolice@DCPSEBCP for helping me to get the valuable within 20 minutes.
I was skeptical to visit Police station and lost hope of getting it back but thankfully I visited and got back my valuable.

Just completed the lovely book 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama. An eyeopener on American politics. So inspiring. Highly recommend it. Great job @MichelleObama. @BarackObama
Revival of the HAL airport is badly needed. The way air traffic is booming we will need several airports. The only thing is traffic on the Old Airport Road will have to be managed properly. Like everywhere else in the city it’s quite chaotic here.
Mrs Asha Patil, the unassuming wife of Karnataka Industries Minister @MBPatil runs a not for profit organisation to promote Banjara embroidery. She herself is managing a stall at India International Trade Fair (IITF) currently underway in Delhi. Truly an amazing, inspiring and industrious woman!! #IITF2024
S looking for answers. Why was no invoice given? Why did the delivery person dump the truncated items and hurry away without cross checking? Don’t you have a protocol? How can ordered items just vanish? @Lolita_TNIE@jagograhakjago@TataCompanies
@bigbasket_com In the meantime, the local grocer in Ayappa Nagar delivered the items we need without ado. Quite an avuncular cove, much like that character in Malgudi Days. You folks carry on as if an alternate universe doesn’t exist.@Lolita_TNIE@jagograhakjago@TataCompanies
Good morning @bigbasket_com Regret the inconvenience. Hope you folks had a great weekend, brunch and all. Now can you please spare a thought for your customer who is yet to get the ordered items although you have taken the money?@Lolita_TNIE@jagograhakjago@TataCompanies
