OG BLR boy. Good, bad & ugly side of my city in which I have spent my whole life. No political affiliation. posts and reposts are strictly only opinions.

Bangalore isn’t broken, it’s just… complicated. This is my attempt at keeping score.

@Stuff1nBasement @BlrCityPolice @blrcitytraffic @DCPSouthBCP @BLRsouth01 @BangaloreMirror Horrible junction. Garbage everywhere, no place to walk. The shops acts as though they own all the public property and infra around them and end up dumping garbage on the median which overflows to the road.

@AgentSaffron Who died and made you the torchbearer of Hinduism?

[Unpaid Watchman @capturedinblr]

@ANI What liability is imposed on judges & lawyers who grant bail to accused and they go on to commit further crimes? There more number of cases than dog bites when milords grant bail to the accused and they commit more crimes. Who is liable in that case?

Indian Railways is an extremely complex org to work with, marked by excessive red tape & bureaucracy. Ideally, railways should have driven the development of semi-high-speed rail corridors.

Most states have now realised that working with railways often leads to project delays & are increasingly approaching NCRTC/ @MoHUA_India for RRTS projects. @sureshpprabhu attempted to bring about reforms, but his tenure was short-lived.

@3rdEyeDude The car fellow had it coming. FAFO.

[Unpaid Watchman @capturedinblr]

@ChristinMP_ Why does the K100 water look like sewage water? Wasn’t the whole point of spending Multi crores on that project was to ensure that the storm water drain was rid of sewage?

@karnatakaportf If so much you are worried about culture, get alcohol banned & legalise cannabis and other organic intoxicants. That was a part of our culture & still is in many places. Who dies & made you culture police?

[Unpaid Watchman @capturedinblr]

@karnatakaportf Our culture is also not to wear clothes like we do. Our culture was to walk to places or take bullock cart. Automobiles were not in our culture. Our culture was living in a house made of sustainable materials. Our culture is to respect women, not upload their videos & shame them.

@motordave2 @DriveSmart_IN @dabir @RCBengaluru @InfraEye @sumanthchandar @internetbadguy1 No highways allow this kind of behaviour on tolled highways with speed limit of 100kmph. It should be like the Nelamangala highway with tolls at each entry & exit point where the toll is charged only for the number of kms travelled. Zero enforcement causes loss of lives.

[Unpaid Watchman @capturedinblr]

@Memeghnad The goal is to not punish every single instance of littering, that’s impossible but to create a sense of what you might have to do even if it’s a 1% chance of getting caught that the risk is just not worth it. Even if 50% of the current litter bugs stop then it’s amazing progress

[Unpaid Watchman @capturedinblr]

@Memeghnad Entitled parents teach their kids that someone else must pick up behind them & “they pay tax”. Now throwing trash is a muscle memory. They do it without even thinking about it. Fine for littering must not be monetary. It must be paid in time like 8hr mandatory clean up drive.

[Unpaid Watchman @capturedinblr]

@SatanAtWink The beat cops have lot of time on their hands. We can put them to actual work by turning our cities to function 24/7 which is proven to reduce crime rate and bring in more revenue. Of course with strict noise control enforcement in residential areas.

NDTV 9pm said :

India must teach Muslims a lesson similar to the lesson Israel taught the people of Gaza

No FIR
No arrest
No prosecution

No UAPA !

[Maheshwer Peri @maheshperi]

India protests when Hindus are killed in Bangladesh. But when a student from Tripura is lynched in Dehradun, called “Chinese” and beaten to death, the silence is deafening.

Mob lynching of Muslims, racial abuse of North-East Indians, caste killings at home, within our own country do not get any outrage while we protest a killing outside the country.

A moral compass that works only across borders and only for some lives is not nationalism. It is hypocrisy.

[Unpaid Watchman @capturedinblr]

@ajay43 If only they had that much vigour in keeping our “holy” rivers and places clean. The same idiots would be throwing garbage & plastic into the river & calling it holy. The problem here is the silence from the ruling party. Staying silent is as good as enabling this behaviour.

[Unpaid Watchman @capturedinblr]

@SurajKrBauddh Years down the line when @BJP4India are thrown out of power & does an RCA of where it turned, they will realise that lack of police action & lack of condemnation by central leadership for breaching the peace & social fabric will be attributed as the major causes.

[Suraj Kumar Talreja @suritalreja]

I am genuinely surprised why more people in India aren’t talking about this openly.

If you want clean drinking water, you have to buy a water purifier and then pay 18% GST on it.

If you want clean air, buy an air purifier again, 18% GST.

If you want 24×7 electricity, don’t rely on the grid buy an inverter.

If you want quality education for your child, forget government schools, you have to go private, where fees run into lakhs.

Government schools are not even a serious option for most middle-class families.

If you want good healthcare, you go to a private hospital and once you step inside, your bank balance starts bleeding. Many families literally take loans to survive medical emergencies.

Now leave all this aside.

Even pure food is hard to get.
Paneer is adulterated.
Dal is artificially coloured.

Street food?

Nobody knows what’s being mixed dirty hands, sweat, sometimes worse. We just hope nothing happens.

Try walking outside:
• Footpaths barely exist.
• Vehicles come from all directions.
• People don’t follow lanes.
• Potholes everywhere.

One wrong step and:
you might get hit by a vehicle, or
you might fall and injure yourself

And who takes responsibility?
No one.

Ask questions and suddenly you’re:
• called deshdrohi
• told to “go to Pakistan”

Why should expectations from my own country be compared with Pakistan?

When India plays cricket, do we compare ourselves with Kenya or Zimbabwe?
No.

We compare ourselves with Australia, England, big teams.

Then why, as a country, shouldn’t we compare ourselves with: China, the USA, Japan, Australia other large economies?

People say “India is Vishwaguru.”

If that were true:
• why are so many millionaires leaving India?
• why are top celebrities and athletes settling abroad?
• why do people with money still choose foreign education, healthcare, and passports?

Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent.

Asking questions is not anti-national.

Expecting clean air, safe roads, honest food, affordable healthcare, and quality education is not a crime.

Patriotism is not blind worship.
Patriotism is demanding better because we believe India deserves better.

If this made you uncomfortable, maybe it needed to be said.

Share it.
Talk about it.
Silence won’t fix anything.

@darab_farooqui I’ve been to the holy site where Jesus was baptised. Many Hindus like me go there. Imagine the outrage if any of our citizens would have been harassed there for wearing a Hindu religious symbols. Karma has its way of getting back. Let’s wait. They will repent.

[Unpaid Watchman @capturedinblr]

@queenofcosmos11 @darab_farooqui Lol. Look at the state of Hinduism’s holiest city. Nothing out of the ordinary here. First we need to clean our rivers of garbage & next our population of garbage people like you who justify this non sense. This enables more people to behave and hide behind people like you.
