Why can’t we celebrate like rest of the world Yesterday I was at MG Road and it felt like going in a queue line for Tirupati Balaji darshan. Except for some street lighting, there is nothing much done. City could have lit up iconic buildings and managed some firework or drone show. All these make the city and public spaces more fun. Came across this news report from Indian express https://indianexpress.com/photos/world-news/new-year-celebration-2025-live-9753950/ Look at how creative cities do it abroad. Don't say population. New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong are equally or more populated. Don't say it's a western concept.... 5 10 replies

Folks strolling in straight from bed in pajamas, looking like they skipped basic hygiene. Coughing fits that sound straight out of a TB ward no masks, no effort to cover their mouths. Kids running around like they’ve been unleashed on a playground, touching everything, and... 2 10 replies

Infrastructure needs to step up I’ve visited multiple Indian cities and towns across states, over multiple years. Honestly, after my time in bangalore I’d say the infrastructure is more akin to a small town than any of the large cities. Mumbai has the local which is a great way to quickly get across the city. New Delhi has the metro and its connectivity is world class. Kolkata has older public transport that serves it decently well. Bangalore has buses but after having tried them I wouldn’t say they compare to the previous options due... 5 0 replies
