Footpaths are primarily for pedestrians. There should be space for street vendors, but that should be regulated and controlled.

Also, just wiping out all street vendors (in that 1500km of roads) as Bangalore seems to have done seems like solution either.

Has the government responded or commented the strike?

If the media working closely with the government does not ask…

@krazyLife151 @sanatan_kannada @krishnabgowda @GBAChiefComm So you want people to die from cerebral hematoma?

[Drake Glider @DrakeGlider]

@citizen_kau @Balavigneshtn That explains rash driving. Young blood and the need for thrill and disregard for risks.

[Drake Glider @DrakeGlider]

@citizen_kau Don't forget lack of pedestrian crossings also. Too often pedestrians are forced to take risks. Here someone tried his luck in a curve on a large road.

@PPuzhu She asks me one more time, I tell 'wait' with hand gesture and keep my shopping cart in her way. My mother asks them to not cut line. Nearby people also start saying to go back in the line. They relent, but only went back behind me.

[Drake Glider @DrakeGlider]

@PPuzhu I watch a family trying to cut line in a supermarket. The father goes front and sneaks into the line. I say to my mother 'Look, there's someone trying to cut line'. The father signals his wife. The wife has to come past me, I passive aggressively signal her to wait.

@Psychodoctor06 I'm sorry for your loss.

[Drake Glider @DrakeGlider]

@saurabh_gunjal_ Need better judgement from the pedestrian. But can't blame too much, road isn't pedestrian friendly. Why is the car coming at high speed in a curve? 999 times you can manage, but 1 time it can cause crashes like this.

@thisis_drgsp People grieve in different ways. Some people cry, some people hold back their emotions and put a cherry front, so on.. don't read too much into it. Give people their space. Its not your GM.

Also skeptical of social conventions that demand you wail loudly or grieve certain way.

"Here’s a number that should embarrass a functioning democracy: @newslaundry and @thenewsminute have had over 250 hearings over the years. 250. Read that again. And going to court over and over again is exhausting. It takes money, time, and a lot of emotional energy. For news platforms, you’re not just supporting our #journalism, you’re supporting our right to exist"- @AbhinandanSekhr

@gauravsabnis Ha ha.. my first experience with pedestrian priority crossing in Singapore.

I miss when "The News" was just a guy in a suit telling you what happened, instead of a 24 hour panic machine designed to make you hate your neighbor so you don't notice your rent went up 30%.

@vadakkus Anyone visiting any rural area will find migration crisis. Was reading about how a mayor in a rural town in Sweden says that he has to deal with depression of people who feel they are a failure at not having migrated out of their towns to cities.

@imShriKulkarni @bhaumikgowande Oh nice.

[Drake Glider @DrakeGlider]

@imShriKulkarni @bhaumikgowande Probably like 1/10,000? I have seen only once in my 6 years at Bangalore.

@psankar I guess they live in a realm of abstractions, which misses out many qualitative information that cannot be captured by data.

[Drake Glider @DrakeGlider]

@ShachiGambhir Okay. But being the most vulnerable person and disadvantaged link in transit, I would cut pedestrians of India leeway for now.

[Drake Glider @DrakeGlider]

Having done this many times, I can say its not out of choice. There just isn't enough pedestrian crossings in places I do.

[Shachi @ShachiGambhir]

Pedestrians need to stop jumping into traffic and throwing their hands up to force moving vehicles to stop, just so they can cross.

This isn’t your granddad’s road. Cross watchfully.

At one point, she will have to understand the overbearing behavior. She is valued for her potential as a child bearer. Not as an individual person.

German Lady who married with Indian Hindu Men Becomes Pregnant.

Knowing her Pregnancy, the Mother in law started caring her too much.

Germany wife was surprised with this.

She is appreciating India supporting culture for girls.

Sadly Western media won't show this.

@matkashbakihai Research in basic science (exploring unknown) should not be measured by its useful output like an engineering product company.

@mxtaverse That's now how caste works.
