Rahul’s Kiss & our Kismat

August 19, 2023

Every time there is kissing, someone is bound to start pressing charges and last week, the women MPs of the BJP did just that. They gave a written complaint to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had made an ‘inappropriate gesture’ by giving a ‘flying kiss.’ They demanded ‘stringent action’…

Veggie Politics

July 29, 2023

Since last month the cost of vegetables, especially in North India, has been spiralling and, as expected, has become an election issue. Veggies are not only good for health but also politics. While tomato is now in the news, the onion is the most politically-nutritious veggie. One can say that the state of our Union…

First, build on the ground, then underground

June 24, 2023

It was reported yesterday that Karnataka Dy.CM and a team of senior officials would visit Singapore to get a first-hand experience of tunnel roads so they can build similar underground roads to decongest Bengaluru. Ambitious much?  A few years ago, Bengaluru got an underpass system called ‘Magic Box’, where they created box-shaped passages under existing…

Anti-conversion bill, we may need it still

June 17, 2023

On Thursday, the Karnataka Cabinet decided to repeal the stringent law regulating religious conversion introduced by the previous BJP Government. Is this Anti-Conversion Bill draconian? Yes, but why can’t we have an Anti-Conversion Bill with specific changes? Why reject the Bill outright? While the Congress party in Karnataka has repealed the Bill, didn’t the same…

Expressway Deaths: RTO problem, not the Road

June 10, 2023

Last year, Zoomcar, India’s biggest self-drive rental car company, surveyed 22 cities using its proprietary drive scoring system and declared Mysuru had the worst drivers in the country!  Based on yesterday’s SOM report, the survey’s assessment seems right. The report stated that in just five months of the Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway opening, there have been 570…

Break in India !

June 3, 2023

We are a nation of vandals — wilful destroyers of what is beautiful or venerable. Be it painting love quotes on rocks, etching perverse rhymes on elevator doors, breaking art installations, slashing bus seats, stealing street lights or cutting fences on the new Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway, we are constantly defacing, stealing or destroying public property. Mysuru-Kodagu…

Hollow Oaths

May 27, 2023

Every time there is an oath-taking ceremony, MLAs do not follow the rules, which is to take the oath either in the name of God or the Constitution. Instead, they take the oath in the name of whomsoever they want. This time was no different, the MLAs began their stint as rule-makers by breaking the…

King Cong

May 20, 2023

Soon after Congress got an overwhelming mandate, an otherwise stern and emotionless D.K. Shivakumar (DKS) shed tears of joy before the media. Now, he is probably shedding tears of disappointment as he did not get the Chief Minister’s chair. Unfortunate for a man who has been a Congress workhorse all his life. While many may…
