“You have thousands of moments ahead of you. The important thing isn’t to get them all right; it’s to find a way to keep moving forward.”

Sundar Pichai, MS ’95, CEO of Google and Alphabet, addressed the Class of 2026 at Stanford’s 135th Commencement ceremony.

Completely agree on all the 3 principles for success & happiness in life, with my 25 plus years in public service/academia.

1. Choose to be optimistic. (Pessimism fails you before even you attempt)
2. Take on difficult challenges (you learn a lot if you fail. If you pass you gain enormous satisfaction, confidence and strength to do more)
3. Pursue what excites you (It’s the passion that makes you run the extra mile, not the fruit of it)

BDA and BMRDA aren't institutions that can do much in the short term (22 months to the next election). Instead, it is better to carve out BMTC from the Transport department and bring it under the Bangalore Minister @krishnabgowda

@ChristinMP_ Please share the DPR for Varthur Village & Kodi flyover plan. Unfortunately, it is a closely guarded secret. We need mass transit complaint infra here.

[ChristinMathewPhilip @ChristinMP_]

Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) Chief Commissioner Maheshwar Rao directed officials to ensure timely execution of all major infrastructure projects & prepare detailed schedules with adequate manpower and machinery.

He set Oct 15 deadline for completion of Hope Farm Junction underpass & ordered weekly monitoring of progress. Rao also directed officials to accelerate Wind Tunnel Road, Okalipuram Octagonal Corridor & Ejipura Flyover projects.

Reviewing KRDCL projects, he asked officials to expedite approvals related to TDR & additional funding for the Kadugodi Flyover, Varthur Kodi Flyover & Varthur Village Elevated Corridor to ensure timely completion. Officials said Yelahanka Flyover is targeted for completion by September.

Rao also directed completion of Varthur Kodi Lake Bed Road by July 21 and asked officials to resolve pending issues & commence flyover construction at Big Bazaar Junction at the earliest. He said progress of all major projects will be reviewed every week

@PriyankKharge Perilous moves!

[Whitefield Rising @WFRising]

The upcoming Greater Bengaluru municipal elections will shape the quality of life in our neighbourhoods for years to come.

Whitefield Rising recently met Mahadevapura MLA @MALimbavali and submitted a letter urging:

• Selection of capable, public-spirited candidates for the upcoming ward elections.
• Formation of functional Ward Committees to strengthen citizen participation in local governance.

Municipal elections matter. Councillors influence how ward budgets are spent and have a direct impact on everyday issues such as footpaths, streetlights, garbage collection, roads, parks, and drainage.

As citizens, we must encourage good people to step forward and contest, and vote based on the issues that affect our daily lives.

Strong wards need strong representatives. The choices we make in these elections will help determine the future of our communities.

We will submit similiar letters to other representatives as well.

@lkatheeq Congratulations Sir on your appointment! This is a unique opportunity to resolve the PRR issue affecting thousands for 2 decades. Please adopt the 2013 LARR Act, stop current illegal actions, allow the lapsed scheme to expire, and renotify as per 2013 LARR law. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@ashwinmahesh Mahathma Gandhi portrait was the face of IAC movement, now it’s Dr. BR Ambedkar. Not sure where CJP heading!!

[Sonam Wangchuk @Wangchuk66]

IF NOT US, WHO?
IF NOT NOW, WHEN !
I will be joining the CJP members in Delhi on 6th June if nothing changes by 5th June. Any self respecting Minister should resign if things go so wrong... Not to mention the effect on millions of young lives and in fact the future of India.

जेबकतरों से सावधान - आज वो CBSE के अंदर बैठे हैं। CBSE की गलती से नंबर ग़लत आए तो आपको क्या मिलता है?

एक bill:
Digital scan copy: ₹100/विषय
Re-totalling: ₹100/paper
Re-evaluation: ₹25/सवाल

अपनी ही answer sheet की सही जाँच के लिए एक बच्चे को ₹2000 तक भरने पड़ सकते हैं।

सोचिए, जब 4 लाख बच्चों ने ऐसे आवेदन डालें हैं तो CBSE कितनी कमाई कर रहा है।

जब scanning फ़ोन से हुई हो, ग़लत मार्किंग तय है। और उसे ठीक करवाने की क़ीमत बच्चा भर रहा है।

गलती CBSE की। सज़ा बच्चे की। कमाई सरकार की।

जब शिक्षा को सेवा नहीं, कारोबार बना दिया जाए तब गलती सुधारी नहीं जाती। बढ़ाई जाती है। और इसकी सबसे बड़ी क़ीमत हमारे बच्चे चुका रहे हैं - अपने समय से, अपने आत्मविश्वास से, और अपने भविष्य से।

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

NEET छात्रों से मुलाक़ात में एक बात बिल्कुल साफ़ हो गई - भारत का युवा नरेंद्र मोदी पर भरोसा नहीं करता।

उन्होंने मुझे बताया - पेपर WhatsApp और Telegram पर खुलेआम बिक रहे हैं। किस कीमत पर बिक रहे हैं, कौन ख़रीद रहा है, माफ़िया कैसे काम कर रहे हैं - यह सब इन बच्चों को पता है।

उनका एक ही सवाल था - जो हमें पता है, वो सरकार और संस्थाओं को क्यों नहीं? सच यह है ये बच्चे सरकार से बेहतर जानते हैं कि इस सड़ी हुई व्यवस्था को कैसे ठीक किया जा सकता है।

और दूसरी ओर कितनी शर्मनाक बात है कि जिस सेना का काम दुश्मनों से देश की रक्षा करना है, आज उसे मोदी सरकार के अपने भ्रष्टाचार से बच्चों के पेपर बचाने भेजा जा रहा है।

टुकड़ों के सुधार से अब काम नहीं चलेगा। छात्रों, शिक्षकों और Experts के साथ मिलकर पूरी परीक्षा व्यवस्था नए सिरे से बनानी होगी।

हम और बच्चे नहीं खो सकते। और एक भी पीढ़ी का भविष्य इस भ्रष्ट तंत्र के हवाले नहीं कर सकते।

I worked with Shri Siddaramaiah for four years, sat through 5 budget preparations, learnt a lot and have several fond memories. I chose a difficult one here.

Instead of trying to imitate the scale of infeastructure in other big cities around the world, we could try to replicate the public toilets and safety of Japanese cities. These cost a lot less, will serve many more, and will form part of the foundation for livability which we need.

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

Read this story. Carefully.

CBSE called for OSM tenders thrice. Zero bids the first time. No qualified bidder the second time. And finally, the technical bar was lowered until COEMPT could clear it.

Scanning resolution cut. Robotic scanner requirement dropped. CMMI certification lowered from Level 5 to Level 3. Penalties for errors in answer sheets removed.

TCS, India’s biggest IT services company, qualified in the third round too. TCS lost. COEMPT - a company with a spectacular track record of failure - won.

And what are CBSE students complaining about today? Badly scanned answer sheets. Missing pages. A broken evaluation portal.

Teachers had warned CBSE that the OSM system needed at least a year or two for further preparation before nationwide implementation, yet it was rushed through.

So I ask again - who wanted COEMPT to win? Who lowered the bar, step by step, until this company could clear it?

Pradhan ji and CBSE say “due process was followed.” That is not an answer, that is not accountability. The question is whether the contract was honestly awarded to the best company which could do the job correctly.

The futures of 18.5 lakh children were handed to a company that could only qualify after the rules were bent for it.

To the BJP Ministers attacking me for asking questions - I have, from day one, demanded an independent judicial probe. Expand it from CBSE to every contract awarded to COEMPT. Our youth deserve the truth.

And Modi ji, your silence on the CBSE debacle and inaction against the Education Minister tells the country what you actually care about - not the futures of lakhs of students, only the survival of your own government.

[Ashwin Mahesh @ashwinmahesh]

Even an amateur process designer would have thought about this problem and attempted some solutions. But these agencies have not done that. Why? The most likely explanation is that redressal is an eyewash.

BIDADI - THE NEXT AGITATION?

Acquisition is not really necessary. Simply rezoning the land for a new master plan for the township is enough. At the most, some land is needed for new road infra, and that alone can be managed through land pooling. It is always better for current land-owners to participate in the future of the region rather than be paid off so someone else can benefit.

Land acquisition throughout the metropolitan region has run into trouble because the government has preferred to buy off landowners instead of coopting them into projects. They've come to see that as unfair.
