The challenges we face are complex. They cannot be solved without hard work, or without the public participation of informed, problem-solving citizens. (RHO)

First there was a big uproar from citizens fed up with the poor infrastructure. Then a few corporates joined in. Then there was a deadline to fix the potholes. Then the deadline was moved back. Meanwhile the corporates started thanking the government. Then the deadline was…
This November was the driest in nearly a decade. And yet, even without the rains, this is what is happening. Roads can't be fixed at the surface, they have to be laid right from the foundation up.
Union government proposes app to be installed on all phones by default, which will allow the sarkar to observe messages and other communication that people send to each other. Government says this will enhance security. Opposition calls it snooping into people's private life.…
How to spot a newly laid road in Bangalore? Look for someone who's digging! Lots of people say this when you talk to them about road maintenance. There is one way to stop it, but there are two kinds of people who can do that. The first is GBA / UDD / etc. who should be…
Driest November in 9 years in the city. When stuff like that happens, BWSSB should have a communication program in place to nudge people to be more conservative in how we use water. And the effectiveness of such a program should be constantly measured. @zenrainman this could be…
Web users of messaging apps to be logged out every six hours, according to new government rules. A lot of people using the web are doing so because they are not comfortable with small fonts and difficulty of interacting with a mobile interface. Many of them are older people, some…
Coordination by GBA has to be more than merely summoning all the different agency heads to a common meetings. The work on the ground has to be coordinated, and that is only possible if there is a system of every agency seeking permission to commence its work with the knowledge of…
STATE OF THE CITY December 2025 - HOUSING Over the years, depending on which departments and agencies I was working closely with, I made notes to myself about the overall state of things in the city in the relevant topic. At some point I started publishing those on my website,…
Article in The Ken today - pointing to an avoidable error in the way we imagine and foster incubation and different centres. At the heart of the matter is the mistaken view that if all the pieces of a jigsaw are brought together, then it's not that difficult to slot them into…
In three weeks, ZP elections will be held in Goa. Despite its high literacy and economic development, "Goa is the only State which till date has not devolved a single power to local bodies in the entire country." according to a column in O Heraldo today. Proof that belief in…
The multi storeyed parking lots need a complete solution, not just a building. People are parking on roads right in front of the shops they go to, or nearby. If we expect them to park in an MLCP instead, the footpath from the shops to the parking space must also be good. While…
We have a shortage of buildings - especially for housing, but also for commerce. We can't build 6 buildings wherever 10 are needed and then complain about over-construction and parking problems and traffic and choked water and sewage lines. The problem starts with the built form…
There are lots of imaginations of placemaking, but the most important part is asking the people whose place it is what they think. An input-gathering weekend along the streets surrounding the Marundeeswarar temple in Chennai elicited lots of responses and interest. This is the…
Two Supreme Court judges that the recent trend of government asking for recent judgments to be overturned quickly is worrying. And right on cue, the Union files a petition asking for a 9 judge order to be overturned!
Throughout India, state cricket associations are more like political outfits than people stewarding the sport. Karnataka is no exception - indeed, it is one of the state associations contributing to that reputation. In one conversation a few years ago, a senior cricketer frankly…
