www.changeindia.info - I will make a Difference

"Great...!"

That was my first reaction to see this website. Eagerly, I read the articles in the website. And hmm... discovered a lot of opinions, reactions, suggestions which were mostly related to Banglore Airport Issue. Started wondering... is it thats it?!

With obviously thought it couldn't restrict to only one place, I read the "Your Opinion" section. Well, it was the Bangalore Aiport again. Hmm...

Just then, I was a bit happy to see the section "National Issues in your city". Clicked on the dropped down box & found:

10 urban cities (didn't include 1 metropolitan city)

Wish they could target the rural issues of poverty, education, basic amenities and many more, rathen than targeting audiences for issues on Urban Cities affecting the Higher Society (keeping in mind the much coverage of the Bangalore Airport Issue)

My hope, my faith still remains stoned.

Letz Change INDIA

Negligent Driving

The creative mind keeps finding different ways to convey a message, like this one. If one knows the story of Lord Ganesha on how & why he has an elephant face, this ad will make a perfect sense. But, whats the % of its affect on our commute. I don't know, so I assume its "0" effective. For the past 3 days, while travelling to office, I have seen accidents. Firstly, an Indica bumped into a side biker who was carrying a small kid. Secondly, during early morning hours, a biker was casually crossing the signal (a RED one) without even bothered to look for vehicles approaching from the Green signal side - The result - another indica bumped into this biker too. Strange or rather good coincedence, both the time, both the bikers just gotup from the road without any signs of pain; anger; and fear. They just were back on their bikes as if nothing happened. You really don't get to see this behaviour for a road accident... especially in chennai, were commuters would go to the extent of verbal abuse targeting family. Though negligent driving would prevail, has the commuters mentality changed ?
