Dear @osd_cmkarnataka @ICCCBengaluru @CMofKarnataka, Please give us road in Bengaluru. Looks at the pathetic condition of Bannerghatta Rd near IIMB @IIM_Bangalore @iimb_official @TVMohandasPai @Tejasvi_Surya @krishnabgowda @RahulGandhi @narendramodi @IncomeTaxIndia @DKShivakumar

Terminal 2 at Bangalore Airport is one of the best airports that I travel regularly.

This can happen also in India. We are building world class roads, selling thousands of vehicles every month, but more than everything people who use these infrastructure and vehicles should be taught to be declined, follow the rules.

A truck driver on his phone rear-ended our car (A Hyundai Tucson) on a NH44. My 4-year-old was in the car. We walked away. Barely! This isn’t just our story. This is every Indian highway, every single day. And nobody in power seems to care enough to fix it. Here’s what’s killing people on our national highways and what we demand changes: [LLMs have been used to for better phrasing] 📵 CELLPHONE DISTRACTION Phone use while driving = driving drunk. Same reaction time, same lane drift, same inability to brake. The fine is a joke — paid, forgotten, back on the phone. This needs criminal-level deterrence, not a challan. 🚛 TRUCKS IN THE FAST LANE Every highway trip, a truck crawling in the rightmost lane, forcing everyone to overtake dangerously from the left. Keeping left is LAW under the Motor Vehicles Act. Not a suggestion. Where is the enforcement? 🔀 LANE CHANGES WITHOUT INDICATORS No signal. No mirror check. Just a sudden swerve at speed. This causes side-impact crashes and pile-ups that nobody sees coming. Fine and suspend. No exceptions. ⛔ WRONG-SIDE DRIVING Tractors. Autos. Trucks. Even cars — driving on the wrong side of a 4-lane highway because turning around is “too far.” This is not a traffic violation. This is attempted murder. Head-on collisions at highway speeds are almost always fatal. 🚶 JAYWALKING ON HIGHWAYS Pedestrians crossing 6-lane highways on foot because there are no underpasses, no footbridges, no lighting. My anger isn’t at them. It’s at a system that collects toll at every plaza and still can’t build basic pedestrian infrastructure. Very common on ORR in Hyderabad. 🛠️ WORKERS ON LIVE LANES WITH ZERO PROTECTION Road repair / landscaping with no cones, no barriers, no advance warning signs, no reflective gear. Workers crouching in a live lane with vehicles flying past at 100 kmph. This is institutional recklessness with human lives. 🚚 UNFIT TRUCKS ON HIGHWAYS Overloaded. Bald tyres. Broken tail lights. No reflective tape. Invisible at night until it’s too late. Vehicle fitness certification is a rubber stamp. Bribes are cheaper than compliance. We need automated testing with zero human interface. 🌑 ZERO ENFORCEMENT AFTER DARK Every highway driver knows the truth - after dark, the rules don’t exist. No patrol. No cameras. No consequences. Highway patrol must be 24x7. Non-negotiable. ━━━━━━━━━━ What can save you: ✅ 5-star safety rated car: crumple zones held, cabin stayed intact ✅ Toddler car seat: IsoFix is better. ✅ Seatbelts - every passenger including rear seats ✅ A good 2-channel dashcam — rear footage is now our key evidence. Front-only would have been of little help. Before buying a car, check its safety ratings. Use a car seat. Belt up. Get a 2-channel dashcam. Thanks to @HyundaiIndia @Hyundai_Global for making a car which saved us. ━━━━━━━━━━ A special thank you to @AnantapurPolice for filing the FIR promptly and treating this with the seriousness it deserved. This is what accountability looks like. Also tagging @arun_bathula who has been doing some great work in #hyderabad to bring awareness and educate drivers in the city to thank him for his efforts in making the city roads safer. @nitin_gadkari @ncbn @AndhraPradeshCM @revanth_anumula @TelanganaCMO @NHAI_Official @MORTHIndia @APTrafficPolice @APPOLICE100 @TelanganaCOPs enough talk. Fix this. #RoadSafety #IndianHighways #DistractedDriving #PutThePhoneDown #HighwaySafety

Seconds From Disaster: Lorry Flips on Mysore–Bangalore Highway After Tyre Burst While we were driving on the Mysore–Bangalore highway, a lorry suddenly lost control after its front tyre burst and flipped right in front of the road. It all happened within seconds one moment everything was normal, and the next, it turned into a life-threatening situation. By sheer luck, the people driving on the road managed to escape without any injuries. It was a terrifying experience and a stark reminder of how unpredictable our roads can be. No matter how carefully you drive, some situations are simply beyond your control.This incident highlights the importance of staying alert at all times, maintaining a safe distance from heavy vehicles, and ensuring proper vehicle maintenance especially tyre condition, which can make all the difference between safety and disaster. Road safety is not just about following rules; it’s about being constantly aware and prepared for the unexpected. A single second can change everything. Stay cautious, stay alert, and most importantly, stay safe 🙏 #bangalore #bengaluru #mysuru #bangaloremysoreexpressway #accident

Cheers, the free airport lounge using cards are really helpful. Only thing is we need to keep spending using the card.

Terminal 2 - Bangalore AirPort

If I go now, it’s too hot and raining in between, so let’s hold on.

Best time for a road trip in Kerala Best time: September to February 🌴 That’s Kerala’s post-monsoon and winter window. Roads are clear, humidity drops, and the greenery from monsoon is still lush. Breakdown: October - February: Peak time - Cool, dry, 24°C to 30°C - Perfect for hill stations like Munnar, Wayanad, Thekkady - Backwaters, beaches, and wildlife safaris are at their best - This is peak tourist season, so book hotels early and expect more crowds September - October: Shoulder season - Monsoon has just ended, landscapes are super green - Fewer crowds than winter, prices slightly lower - Roads are mostly fine but check for occasional landslides in ghat sections June - August: Monsoon - Heavy rain makes driving tricky: slippery roads, reduced visibility, landslide risk - Looks magical and lush though - Only do it if you’re experienced with hill driving and okay with slow travel March - May: Summer - Hot and humid in coastal areas, 32°C to 36°C - Hill stations like Munnar stay pleasant - Fewer crowds and cheaper stays Pro tips for Kerala road trips: Start drives early to avoid traffic and heat Keep FASTag active for tolls Check local weather + road updates before heading into Western Ghats Don’t miss the Munnar to Thekkady stretch for tea plantations and mountain views

Corruption in Karnataka is at its peak and the current government is responsible for this. Every government department you go, they openly demand money for doing their job. youtube.com/shorts/A12dkfo…
