Up to 95% of the water in some of Bengaluru’s lakes is sewage, not rain. Lakes that once followed the monsoon cycle now remain full year-round, sustained by wastewater.

@nihilismpro I enjoy that when I am driving around, I don't get attacked by stray water balloons or over enthusiastic "coloured" people in the streets. Happy to be called the grumpy old man for this.

Bira 91 didn’t fall because it was bad beer. It fell because of bad paperwork. And the catalyst? A simple name change. Here’s what brought the downfall of India’s coolest beer brand. 👇🧵

@nihilismpro P.S I agree with you, techbros coming in with near zero knowledge of city planning and spending most of their bangalore life within the walled gardens of indiranagar, Koramangala and HSR would hardly care to learn about the evolution of the city.

[Shashank Palur @ShashankPalur]

@nihilismpro The stark difference between planning the outskirts is visible when you look at the difference between two satellite areas, Yelahanka (pic 1) and Hoskote-Whitefield(pic 2)

Rapid urbanisation, encroachment, and poor governance have led to the degradation of Bengaluru’s lakes, once important for water storage and flood control.

Featured | @ShashankPalur was quoted in a @DeccanHerald article on why experts think that the nearly 1,000 recharge wells that the BWSSB dug last summer may not be enough to see an improvement in the city's groundwater levels. Read the article here: https://t.co/zpJhNQ2gd0
