Wish I could also do my own appraisal

Please do this and allow reporting on BTP app. If you really want change, give the person who reports a fine 20% of the fine when paid by the vehicle owner.

Problem is enforcement, never the lack of laws.

Nice to see progress on the Ejipura Flyover today! Construction looks active with workers on site. Hope the August deadline is met — this has been pending for too long. Bengaluru desperately needs this relief. @GBA_office @ICCCBengaluru @krishnabgowda @GBAChiefComm @DKShivakumar @CMofKarnataka @BBMPofficial @BlrCityPolice

@DKShivakumar Its now July, and after a brief spurt of activity, there is again no work happening on the flyover.

[Kaarthik SR @kaarthik_sr]

Work on 6th Main, Indiranagar has been ongoing since February. This is one of the area's key roads, yet it has remained closed to traffic for months. For most of the day, the site appears to be idle, with little or no visible work.

Then, from April 1, parts of Old Airport Road were also barricaded. BBMP's original notice said the work would take at least two months. Residents have now been informed that it will take another six months.

With two critical roads blocked simultaneously, traffic congestion across Indiranagar has become significantly worse. At the same time, there are reports of a proposed elevated corridor, raising concerns that disruption could continue for years.

If these projects are important enough to shut down major roads, why aren't they being executed in multiple shifts or 24x7 under proper lighting? Every extra day of delay imposes a cost on thousands of commuters.

Bengaluru has broken transport infrastructure, zero public transport, no buses, extortionate auto drivers, massive traffic jams everywhere, water issues, stalled flyovers, a metro that is taking forever and a suburban rail that has not started for 40 years now.

It has bad air quality, rampant corruption, unaffordable housing and a neighbouring state that is taking blue chip projects away from them

It is at the risk of losing its status as a tech hub in the age of AI

There are so many issues that Bengaluru and Karnataka as a state is facing

But for some reason our awesome legislators actually dedicated time in the state assembly to debate how they can score free tickets for a domestic cricket tournament in which teams are owned by private players.

Not only that, they actually followed up and got them

If only they showed such dedication for projects that will benefit us as people

This picture says more than a thousand words.

It captures, in one frame, what our political culture has been reduced to.

A national icon like Venkatesh Prasad, a man who brought pride to India, whose spells against Pakistan are etched permanently in our collective memory, is today standing with folded hands before a Chief Minister.

Why?

Not for any wrongdoing. Not for any failure of duty.

But simply because he did his job.

Because he did not anticipate that the brittle egos of politicians would be bruised. Because he did not bend to a culture that expects free tickets, special treatment, and unquestioned entitlement.

This is the tragedy.

When those who have served the nation with excellence are made to stand in deference, and those in public office demand privilege over accountability, something has gone fundamentally wrong.

This is not just about one incident.

This is about a deeper decay.

A political class that sees power as entitlement, not responsibility should go. A system where excellence bows, and arrogance sits should go.

A new generation of political class is badly needed at all levels.

If this does not disturb us, nothing will.

India deserves better.

For whatever it is worth, I stand with @venkateshprasad. And I know, millions will.

On Scott Adams.

A man finds, to his astonishment, that he exists. After the elation of childhood wears off, he asks, who am I, why am I here, how does this work? These are hard questions, so after a brief struggle, he selects a readymade answer and goes about the motions of life.

Scott Adams was not such a man. He was a live player, ever curious, intent on figuring out this simulation that he found himself in. From first principles, Scott unraveled, understood, and ultimately controlled his own reality. He hacked himself with affirmations, others with persuasion, the world with simultaneous sips. He explained people as moist robots, two movies happening on one screen, his world as Gods’ debris. He carved a personal mission to “be useful,” and made us all better writers, public speakers, and persuaders. He preached the footwear theory of motivation, the Adams Law of slow-moving disasters, the skill stack, systems over goals, and of course, the Dilbert Principle.

Besides cartooning, philosophizing, and teaching, Scott rose to the occasion and displayed, “the one virtue that cannot be faked” - courage. Scott had the courage to speak honestly as he saw it - about Trump, about his nation, and about his time, even though it cost him friends, audience, money, and his ticket to polite society. Scott had true courage, the kind that makes you unpopular, the kind that is always and everywhere in short supply,

At the end, as any hacker of reality, Scott covered all of his bases - he left as a Buddhist, a Christian, and a player in the Simulation.

Scott, we didn’t get enough time with you, but you were a mentor and a marvel. You were useful and you were courageous. You were incompressible and indivisible. One of a kind, and generous with your drawing, writing, and speaking. Unlike your squealing critics in the chattering class, you will be read generations from now.

On this earth there are many long-lived hells but no lasting heaven. Each heaven must be created and nurtured, ex-nihilo, from mind and from mud. Scott, you created a small heaven for us all, and to a larger heaven you go.

A man finds, to his astonishment, that he no longer exists. He asks why, what it was for, and how will the new reality work? When the rest of us get there, we’ll find Scott, ever useful, ready to explain, having figured it all out.

Notes:
• First line paraphrasing Schopenhauer.
• Courage quote via Taleb.

@RevSportzGlobal Rather than saying India is losing, I’d prefer to say South Africa is gaining strength….like Dollar had strengthened to Rs.90 😊

12th Main #Indiranagar tarred. Ramp for #ejipura flyover being built. Great work @DKShivakumar

[Kaarthik SR @kaarthik_sr]

@gunsnrosesgirl3 You're the best account on X. Don't stop.

[DK Shivakumar @DKShivakumar]

Visited the construction site of the Ejipura Flyover and I am happy to see that full-scale work has commenced. This elevated corridor is designed to ease traffic congestion along the Koramangala–Ejipura stretch.

We are committed to completing the project by June 2026 and ensuring this vital link serves our residents without further delay.

@ianmiles If they don't want so many tourists, the most peaceful way to do protest would be to increase prices. Isn't it? Unless they don't want some specific type of tourists.
