Tragic. This can happen to any of us. It is Luck that is protecting us from our Municipal Bodies.
They may think they can escape forever given the entrenched nexus they are part of.
One day they will have to answer to a Higher Authority.
@thekaipullai The population percentage under his rule would be much higher. The belt from Punjab to Delhi to current UP, Bihar, West Bengal and Bangladesh had the highest population.
@sanjeevsanyal Many big teams like Brazil and Germany have lost their aura. I could watch Brazil vs Japan yesterday because of 10:30 kickoff. England vs Congo is 9:30 PM tomorrow.
@ChitrakShivalik We need metro across the entire SG Highway connecting to GIFT. SG Highway is the most busiest stretch and is home to hotels, hospitals, colleges, commercial buildings and party plots.
I’m convinced that the most underrated trait in a romantic partner is that they bring peace into your life. Days are filled with enough chaos and uncertainty. Being able to come home to someone who defaults to emotional consistency, who creates a peace, is massively underrated.
Politicians / Beauracrats should be subject to proper disclosure norms or barred from any asset acquisition which can be influenced by their own action.
Just like a corporate executive or a fund manager
All these govt appeals of asking people to stay back in India, build in India and for India, ease of business, contribute to our growth etc etc is very nice.
But it all falls flat when the people who come back or stay back, read stuff about random RTO inspectors, low level municipal Clerks, Village officers amassing crores of Rs in wealth and having more Gold in their homes than some African Countries have as reserves, while you are stuck in a traffic jam becsuse a road that was laid yesterday has been redug today
It becomes seriously demoralizing when you realize that no matter how hard you work or how innovative you are, you will be out earned by a low level clerk whose only skill is to sign.
@adhirasy Newly built footpaths at Rajpath club road are being used as parking. Authorities don’t even tow the vehicles which are on footpaths. There is no point of building footpaths if there is no enforcement.
Globally, cities are measured by quality of life and liveability, how people experience, move through, and connect with their urban environment.
Sharing bucket list of our cities on basics.
- Clean air and healthy environment
- Reliable, affordable and accessible public transport
- Safe walking and cycling infrastructure
- Well-designed streets and pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods
- Urban placemaking and vibrant public spaces
- Accessible parks, gardens and green corridors
- Comfortable street furniture and shaded spaces
- Mixed-use neighbourhoods with daily needs within reach
- Affordable and inclusive housing
Safe streets for women, children and senior citizens
- Efficient waste management and sanitation systems
- Climate-resilient urban infrastructure
- Preservation of heritage, culture and local identity
- Digital connectivity and smart public services
- Community participation in shaping neighbourhoods and cities.
A great city is not just built for movement and economic activity; it is built for people to live, interact, and thrive.
And I believe influencers like you can play a pivotal role in veering the discussion from just concrete to enabling environment that can really make a city or break the city.
