Before we learned to read the world, folktales taught us how to see it. This was the gist of my recent TEDx talk at the Presidency School Bangalore South where I was invited to speak on the theme, "Beneath the Silicon".

Step into IISc’s lush green campus, and you will be greeted by various margs (paths), each named after the magnificent trees that line them. @bitasta8778 explores their rich history and origins.

Bengaluru’s governance should be for the people, by the people. The GBG Bill sidelines the MPC, removes Area Sabhas & concentrates power. We need participatory governance, not control from above! #GBAbeda #NoToGBGB #NoToGBGB @CMofKarnataka @Tejasvi_Surya @DKShivakumar

PLEASE EXEMPT THE NORTHEAST. We do not have any infrastructure, industries, modern amenities to secure ourselves. Our youths have to go out to study, slog to get jobs in mainland and face added racial slurs. Please accommodate your guests in your other premises!!!
