Bangalore Attack

Quite true that Bangalore is always a hideout for most terrorists after an attack, but attack here is really a shocking news. The worst part is the target. Attacking an educational institute is unbearable, that too of high calibred institute. Atleast from now, the administrative people should provide a reliable security for the reputed institutes. Losing a professor is as bad as losing some good number of engineers.

Can't we live good

Today on my way to office, police blocked a U-turn in the airport road and so I have to travel to next junction where I can take a U-turn. There people taking U-turn started to amass at left side blocking people going straight. I decided to move only in the lane supposed to used for right or U-turn as I want to be an example for corrective traffic. I had a fellowship here. But finally I end up in waiting for nearly 25 minutes before taking the U-turn.

During this I realised that most of the two-wheelers behind us waiting patiently and they are ready to do when someone doing so. The one who started to hurry up to the left where mostly of the cab drivers and the autowalas. I think we need to educate them more in the traffic sense.

Is there any way to educate them?.

Aaru - An unwanted movie for Surya

Yesterday we went for the movie 'Aaru' (tamil movie). The lead role was done by Surya (known for his good acting skills). The movie was really a violent movie with known twists and incidents. Not sure why Surya accepted to act in such a kind of movie. Not so good movie to watch.

The act of renaming the cities

Recently the politicians of India are down with the fever of renaming the city. They claim its because they want to preserve the culture of the people living there. If you go back to see when and why these renaming started, it all happened to fit into the tougue flexing capabilities of the people in power during the colonial rule.
Yes I do agree that the culture needs to be preserved but does the name change help that. There are lot other ways to preserve it by providing proper monetary backup, support for the people who get involved in literature and culture.
I don't see any people of the cities getting neurotic on calling Calcutta or Madras or Bombay.
Recently the name change for Bangalore hits the newspaper headlines. They may point out Mumbai and other cities as example and are they ready to take those cities as examples in other fields too?.

A few good men

Last night I was very much impressed with the Bangalore police. We were returning home from the night show (1:30 am) and were waiting near the Tavarakere junction for a friend. Going some months back, lot of robbery incidents occurred there. But the situations now there was really very good. We saw around 2 patrol vehicles (2 wheeler) within 3 minutes span and those policemen asked us about the reason for waiting. Once informed they left the scene. Once started off from there, we were again encountered by another pair of policemen who check-out for our vehicle documents.

The most important notable thing is, all the policemen were very polite and very friendly in the manner they enquired us.

I won't say its not possible for a robbery in that place, but the frequency will be less and people can travel without any fear.

Hope to see these kind of activity from the police in all places of Bangalore to make it a safe place to live.
