@manoj_216 @kppsnain From lunch table discussion : a peon runs a tea shop outside a psu telecom giant, only time he is seen in office is to register attendance :)

@paulg Time to change what to test for? There is push in corporate world to use all available resources including LLMs. Academics should introduce these to education in a controlled manner rather than outright prohibition

@prakdadlani Why does it need to be govt. Can private sector invest in creating these co-work facilities for manufacturing. Seems like a good business proposition.

[Kaushik @kausvija]

@kppsnain @manoj_216 You may be surprised at the side businesses run by govt employees.

@TOIBengaluru @timesofindia @krishnabgowda 👏🙏

@KommawarSwapnil Not only apartments it must be mandatory for every school and other large buildings to have one., this includes large houses too.
There are NGOs building recharge well that are safe and effective.

@BBCNews So Ford fired human engineers before checking if AI testing worked?
Indonesia this reflect pressure to show results from AI adoption?
Glad that Ford prioritized customer safety and rolled back the decision 👍

@TOIBengaluru @timesofindia Honest question- how is lake refilled after draining out? Where does this clean water come from?

[Kaushik @kausvija]

@thebetterindia Inspiring, but hope nobody needs to go through what this 19yr old did to get what is due?

[RICHARD | Fixing Bengaluru @FixingBengaluru]

Electronic City is living proof that Bengaluru doesn’t have a money problem. It has an execution problem.

Requesting @TVMohandasPai and @kiranshaw to personally take Bengaluru Development Minister @krishnabgowda on an early morning drive and walk through @ELCITA_IN’s jurisdiction.

Not at 11 AM.
Come at 6 AM.

Walk the streets before the city wakes up.

Here’s what you’ll see.

🧹 Roads already being swept.
🏃 Smooth, well-maintained roads that give runners and cyclists the confidence to use them every morning.
🚶 Wide, continuous footpaths protected by safety railings—not occupied by two-wheelers.
🌳 Landscaped medians and green spaces that are actually maintained.
🛣️ Clear lane markings and road signs that are visible.
🚦 Better traffic discipline.
🔧 Maintenance teams responding before problems become bigger problems.
✨ An industrial township that feels clean, organised and cared for.

Now keep driving.

The moment you leave ELCITA’s jurisdiction, the difference is impossible to ignore.

Broken footpaths.
Encroachments.
Faded lane markings.
Garbage.
Poor maintenance.
Pedestrians pushed onto the road.
The city changes almost instantly.
That raises an important question.

If Bengaluru can achieve this standard in one part of the city…

Why can’t we achieve it across the rest of Bengaluru?

This isn’t about building something new.

It’s about copying what already works.

Study ELCITA’s operating model.

Understand its maintenance standards.

Measure its response times.

Document its best practices.

Then replicate them—first on the Outer Ring Road, then across every zone of Bengaluru.

Good governance should never depend on your PIN code.

Every Bengalurean deserves the same quality of roads, footpaths and public spaces.

We don’t need another pilot project.

We don’t need another committee.

We already have a working model.

Now we need the will to scale it.

@NewsArenaIndia Much needed move. These are not only eyesore but obstruct flow of traffic.
Add to it the debris lying on road and this can help smoothen traffic.

[Krishna Byre Gowda @krishnabgowda]

It’s a politically risky and unpopular decision. But, necessary for the sake of Bengaluru.
At least some footpaths should be reserved for pedestrians. I request people to respect the fundamental right of public to decent footpath. Pls voluntarily remove encroachments or obstructions. It is the law. It may inconvenience you. But, it is for the larger good.

ಇದು ರಾಜಕೀಯ ರಿಸ್ಕ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಕೆಲವರಿಗೆ ಹಿಡಿಸಿದ ನಿಲುವು. ಆದರೆ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಜನರ ಅವಶ್ಯಕತೆ.

ಕನಿಷ್ಠ ಕೆಲವು ಪಾದಚಾರಿ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳಾದರೂ ನಡೆಯುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಮೀಸಲಾಗಿರಬೇಕು. ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರಿಗೆ ಸುಗಮ ಪಾದಚಾರಿಮಾರ್ಗದ ಮೂಲಭೂತ ಹಕ್ಕನ್ನು ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಗೌರವಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದು ವಿನಂತಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.

ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ಸ್ವಯಂ ಪ್ರೇರಿತರಾಗಿ ಒತ್ತುವರಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಅಡತಡೆಗಳನ್ನು ತೆರವುಗೊಳಿಸಿ, ಇದು ಕಾನೂನಿನ ಅವಶ್ಯಕತೆಯಾಗಿದೆ.

ಇದರಿಂದ ಕೆಲವರಿಗೆ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಅನಾನುಕೂಲ ಉಂಟಾಗಬಹುದು ಆದರೆ ಇದು ನಮ್ಮ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕರ ಹಿತಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವ ಕ್ರಮವಾಗಿದೆ.

@karnatakaportf Spent good part of day on chennai roads, if Chennai can keep the roads clean - why can't we?
BTW this does not require AI or rocket science...

[Kaushik @kausvija]

@_ParikshitTyagi This js crazy.... hope the brokerage os not paid to house owner!!

[Manindra Agrawal @agrawalmanindra]

A unique UG program at @IITKanpur! Meant especially for young ethical hackers. (Some of them are in the news 😊.) Admission through a hackathon. Specialized coursework with two year long internship at security agencies. We aim to produce cyber warriors of the future.

@KommawarSwapnil And what USA does when Indians on ship are attacked by USA...

[Kaushik @kausvija]

@KommawarSwapnil Below is snapshot of closing ranks after round 1 of Josaa(where 2026 process is at), shared by Gemini. My interpretation of the below shows decrease in demand among top bankers for civil engineering in iits. Do you see it differently? Is the data incorrect?

[Kaushik @kausvija]

@Bihar_se_hai Vishisht Seva Medal for the pilot!!!

[Kaushik @kausvija]

@mohitlaws Agreed... this imparts so many hidden costs.
What amuses is, the leading technology institutes too fall for this.
Shouldn't they be the one to take charge to apply technology and solve for this? There is enough data with them to sense demand..

[Kaushik @kausvija]

@ShekharGupta In the end Indian team won quite comfortable. Very professional show. But during innings break it didn't seem as secure.
Pak team did well in field, but batting proved to be in-effective against sharma ji.
