STOP PRESS: Superman sighted at Bangalore!!!

No kidding! This "Superman" was sighted in Bangalore! After the recent reports about UFO sightings in the city why not?! The young man with the bull adds to the classic touch!

Ok! Ok! Let me cut the suspense...
Look closer in the picture and this is what you see.... (photo below)


Superman is just a creation of "Classic Fibre works"! The flying cape made it look really authentic didn't it?! The have Vivekananda, Ambedkar and Sai Baba on their roof top!

This is a story NDTV and CNN-IBN would die for! given all the sensational reporting of late... If you report for them catch me offline to find out where? :-)

Hijra trouble at traffic signals becoming common

Hijras have started surfacing in Bangalore city like never before. They have invaded certain city traffic light junctions. What they do is very simple. The come from vehicle to vehicle and harass commuters. They try to touch some people, pretend to bless some, they get aggressive sometimes, sometimes they plead. They have a singleton goal of extracting some money from you.

One find it utterly disgusting when they breach a person's basic rights when they start touching people. Some commuters get hassled, some scared, some simply angry.

Obviously one respects their person right to be what they want to be. It is a personal preference. But they have no business to start bothering public in this manner. They should enact a law to bring to book these Hijras if they are a menace in this fashion.

This burely is beggary in its most sophisticated form. Mumbai is well known for this problem along with many other cities. Growth brings the city best of talent and the imported "trouble" as well.

Its almost "No entry" for the sun

Bangalore is know for its green cover and trees. The green cover on some roads is so dense that the sun hardly gets a chance to get through. Its almost a "no entry" for the sun on those roads. These are things that make Bangalore the wonderful city it is.

This photo was shot at the Madiwala market road near Silk board flyover.

Firefox! You can browse....Cycles not web pages....

The Firefox store! At CMH road in Indiranagar a popular residential area in Bangalore. The shop's name is no coincidence. Surely intends to cash is on the popularity of its namesake browser.

The shop surely gets every passer by to take notice, even pause and browse their bike collection and accessories.... Lets not forget the key target customer is the IT guy!

Beast of burden?

How much can this lady carry? Scene captured near Mayo Hall and Bangalore central mall in downtown Bangalore.

We are growing at a staggering 9% GDP and the world is watching in awe. So are we at the rocketing prices and the social divide. All the rocketing growth in the city has done nothing to better life for this lady.

Growth sadly creates a social divide between the haves and the have nots.

The all new pest swatter hits the streets

You can have missed this! I am talking about the all new pest swatter that's hit town. You can see it everywhere - street vendors, traffic signals, everywhere. Shaped like a Tennis racquet, this gadget let you swat pests. Whats the big deal you may ask? This gadget creates a spark when a pest hit it and instantly kills it. We'll I guess it would also give one a sense of playing a game :). Note the thunder bolt shape on the gadget. Wait till the next big ingenuity!!!
