Bangalore getting hot

It's just February. And afternoons are so hot. Yesterday I was on my way to my friend's house around 3 and I could feel the air so hot. Today evening there is no breeze either: hot or cold. April May will be really bad this way. I dread how places like Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi etc will be.

Bangalore was, I am told, once upon a time an air conditioned city. Greenery is gone, so many buildings have come up. Blaming urbanisation makes no sense. It's hypocrytical also. Since a good number of people of Bangalore are immigrants, not just from outside Karnataka but outside Bangalore itself.

The only way is to retain and promote greenery in the city as much as possible.

Enjoy your heart out on Valentine's Day

This year's Valentine's Day in Bangalore will be unique. People never knew about, now know; boys and girls struck by love are going to curiously excited about mushing around specially on this particular day.

The guys who are opposing beautiful expressions of pure love, aren't humans. They could only be something worse than even animals. When the world is bing threatened by hatred and violence, what better than pure love.

The fringe right-wing groups like 8ajrang Dal and the new Ram Sene have people who are insensitive, cynical and personification of everything negative and retrograde in this world.

The forces of good are far stronger, that's the big hope we have.
