Bengaluru sky after a sudden mini shower. 💙

Congratulations to @DKShivakumar Ji on being sworn in as Karnataka CM. I wish him & his team success.

I would have loved to have seen at least ONE Congress woman in the new Karnataka Cabinet that was sworn in today. Deeply disappointed that there isn’t.

Yet, Cabinet proceeded with the approval

A lot of people have discovered that police are blocking ids and tweets. Pls read up on Sahyog portal. Cops and govts misusing it is REALLY high. We went to court against it but got no relief. Now taken it to Supreme Court. Remember these laws impact everyone, as regimes change

Bloomberg News has won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary for “trAPPed,” a graphic novel depicting the psychological ordeal of a woman in India held under “digital arrest” for eight days, subjected to 24/7 surveillance in a widespread and ruinous scam. https://t.co/4u5ZXmvW4f

Looks like a rajakaluve/ storm water drain. Isn’t it?

But hey, this is the underpass at K R Circle, barely a km from Vidhana Soudha and the High Court, and the Cubbon Park.

One of Bengaluru’s busiest junctions. At the very heart of power, this is what the city looks like!!

Hailstorm in Bengaluru.

Those living in low-lying areas likely require some assistance.

Welcome to the new world order where climate change-driven rains are going to a new normal.

Bengaluru's green cover has fallen from 78% to 6%, its natural cooling systems are gone, and the city is baking.

Memorial seats and silent prayers are not justice. Accountability in a court of law is justice. Do not ask families to swallow a life sentence of grief while the case drags on and the guilty remain unnamed. Superb from @pushkarv

Entitled politicians demanding free tickets, a govt enabling this shameless demand & officials who bend over backwards may forget, but journalists who do their jobs well never forget!

“A key franchisee official who was arrested in connection with the stampede was in the Diamond Box, right above the memorial seats. The chief minister’s close aide, who was sacked for allegedly insisting on large-scale celebration of RCB’s IPL victory, was in the AC lounge just behind the memorial seats. It is hard to look at that and call it closure”

@pushkarv’s piece demands accountability from those who don’t care about anything but free tickets!

@Ananthaforu Thank you sir!

[Anantha-Infinity @Ananthaforu]

From politicians thirst for phot-ops to begging for free tickets, the public conveniently forgot this 11 lives lost. A #Photojournalist, who witnessed the tragedy and presently documenting the present day #IPL euphoria, brings the mood. @pushkarv 👍👌

Professionalism at grassroot sports has been an urgent need for decades. But where talent is abundant, the system is broken. Collateral damage: lives & dreams of children. So much work to do & so little gets done because 'Who cares!'
