This is a great new initiative by Times of India and Janaagraha. We recently had BBMP elections in Bangalore, and the results have come in too. Bangaloreans have a lot of expectations from their Corporators, and they have heard many promises during the elections. We always feel that these people…

Yesterday, we went to pick up Sid’s report card at school. He goes to 3rd Grade. It was a mundane affair, he got A+ in all. That was expected. His teacher even commented that we should not have come personally, and she could have emailed the report to us; the…
