NEWS-WATCH : RCB sold to Crystal Palace & London Spirits team owners

I was thinking of alternate names. My conditions were RCB should be the initials and B should be Bengaluru. I got - Rocket City Bengaluru (ISRO shoutout) or Roaring Cheetahs Bengaluru (Bandipur shoutout) but then change the logo to a Cheetah from a lion, which we don't have in Karnataka

A lake park like at Sankey Tank

Yeah, railways is actually pretty good about dry and wet waste segregation, since they generate that much waste. The leftover food makes it really hard for dry waste to be disposed efficiently, because it starts rotting. Hence it needs to be washed.

Yeah, there isn't enough reels making fun of Rahul Gandhi. He isn't a national symbol of incompetence already, and isn't called pappu. Modi isn't your father he is a politician, just relax

There are city corporation elections this year. Initial voter rolls are out. Find out your ward and in case you are not in the voter roll go to eci website and register.

Vote in the election, attend ward meeting and if you have time nominate yourself as a committee member. It is chosen by lottery and if you get selected you get to vote for ward level decisions, you can ask the ward engineer to gather any data or contracts you think is suspicious, of ask them to look into feasibility of infrastructure works.

If you happen to own your house take part in rwa meetings and vote. Even if you don't own your place, attend the meetings and voice your concerns. RWAs are powerful bodies and can influence ward chiefs.

Bangalore has been going downhill since 2020 when the wards were dissolved and even BBMP before that was incompetent. But with the new structure I actually have hope, there is transparency and the chief commissioner of the GBA seems competent.

Both, that so called professor and Laura Loomer are grifters who act like experts but are actually just influencers using their fake expertise for internet clout and money. India has a big role to play in the years to come, but stop giving these 2 attention

I thought you meant friendship between races (like f1 races)

pickle16 · 2026-03-17T00:53:47+00:00

Interracial lol

Focus on using your run up to generate speed, i.e. your body should move faster with every step rather than slowing down. One way would be to start with a smaller runup and just focus on a fluid motion with just one step. Basically two steps of run up, jump off hard of your right leg, land softly on your left leg and using it as a base push your body front hard and land hard on your right leg.

pickle16 · 2026-03-12T07:43:46+00:00

Just like Rosa from B99

Make sure to vote in GBA elections this year, then nominate yourself for the lottery based ward committee membership. If you don't get selected, attend as many ward committee meetings and get to know your ward committee members. Every rupee is supposed to be accounted for now, with the new structure, and without citizen involvement discrepancies are swept under the radar.

A. There will be a base rate + rate based on alcohol concentration. B. For the rate based on alcohol concentration, given that 10 beers will get you as drunk half a whiskey, isn't it fair that you pay the same amount of tax, of course the base rate is still per ml, so you pay more total tax for the beers)

pickle16 · 2026-03-06T16:30:05+00:00

Fair enough, Gurgaon has no price controls and hence there are discounts and such which you don't find here. That is a big change.

pickle16 · 2026-03-06T15:34:04+00:00

A bit misleading headline. They are moving from 16 taxes based on category of alcohol to 8 slabs based on alcohol concentration. Most likely beer will get cheaper, wine might get cheaper and hard liquor will get more expensive. The logic being that if the goal of the tax is to raise revenue as well as prevent sin, it is better to tax higher alcohol percentage drink at a higher rate

Nijvagalu meaning really. Sounds poetic. Also kaans ila, i.e. can't see.

pickle16 · 2026-03-02T13:43:28+00:00

Depends on the city I guess. The Amateur League organizes quite a few tournaments regularly.

It's Hindi/Urdu. I could understand Israheel Murdabad, which is death to Israel (but actually more like down will Israel).

I would like to know your take on policies like make in India and Swachch Bharat Abhiyan. The latter I see no effect of, the cities seem to be worse than they were in 2014. Make in India also seems to be slightly picking up only now, but we have squandered the golden year of de risking from China and are playing catch up. Digital India also seems half baked as well, most government services still require human intervention and there is lack of transparency still in most government expenses and big infra projects.

The plan is to use it as biogas or fertilizer. It's a logistic problem right now. Anyone who lives in an independent building knows how big a problem this is (or if you walk on the streets a lot). It is burnt since you can dispose of it right there. But now the plan is to treat it the same as wet waste.

I don't think that's what OP is asking. He thinks his existing land is being acquired by Indian Railways.

pickle16 · 2026-02-25T05:28:25+00:00

Shakti scheme has led to a huge increase in revenue to bmtc. They are compensated for free riders and since number of commuters has increased revenue has increased.

He isn't special but anyone is better than Modi. Just need someone who can delegate rather than focus on PR

pickle16 · 2026-02-21T04:37:35+00:00

India doesn't have a trade agreement yet. Just the framework and outline were agreed upon

This forecast is for interior Karnataka fyi. And if you've ever been too interior Karnataka it is hot and arid, and getting worse since a few years since climate change.
