Poverty peeks at Prosperity

A poignant picture of a small street girl shivering in the cool monsoon evening watches the more privileged in the city chatting over a coffee at Cafe coffee day.

These are a sign of the times. Poverty and Prosperity are ofter staring at each other in the face...

Cops are busier than ever before

It looks like the policemen are having a casual afternoon walk in city surroundings... Thats what I thought too at first glance... These were photos shot near Yeshwantpur station. Look closer in the next picture...



You will notice the policemen are escorting a criminal they just nabbed. Notice the handcuffs on the man.

If you thought only the IT folks in Bangalore worked crazy hours, change your mind. Bangalore city police have been busier than ever before. Rising due to the economic divide between the haves and the have-nots.

Crime in the city has been on the rise and at staggering levels.

Growth comes with caveats!

Yes, we are growing at break neck speed. So fast that it scares many! There is so much migration to the city in the quest of job opportunities from all over the country and even overseas. This is all great since the city becomes more cosmopolitan.

Along with this growth, comes a bunch of problem that we are not managing well... Inflation, Social divide (the haves and the have nots), Crime and many more issues.... The poster campaign calling for a meeting reflects that very challenge....

We got to do something serious about balanced growth soon. Else we will be caught napping ...

Construction 24x7 - Bangalore is always Work in progress
