#bengaluru #cycling #cyclinglane #activemobility

Multiple plans by multiple agencies inevitably adds to the complexity. Unlike in the past, the master plan for #Bengaluru, covering a total area of 1,227.48 sq km will now be prepared by two different agencies - the GBA and the BDA.

My inputs on cartoonists and freedom in this piece in Outlook.
Cartoons of dissent or Cartoons of truth?
P.s: There is a right answer

Numbed by another cowardly, horrific Jihadist attack. This time in Sydney. Inhuman, savage, absolutely wrong on all counts.

Was at this talk designed to drill into everyone's head that the Tunnel Road was best for Bengaluru. At the end of the talk, had to complement the speaker: You Bore Well.
