    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    We don't believe in such trivial things as sewer lines, storm water drains, footpaths, etc. People don't give votes for these things. People give votes when you re-lay the roads (with poor quality bitumen) every time before the elections... ... Not making sewers/footpaths, etc, also gives a...

    Lol.. The reason why our cities still rot is because we are either busy blinding proclaiming ourselves as the best, or busy blaming it on our past karma. We'll never acknowledge a problem exists and ask for good basic infrastructure in our cities. Even in 30 years if our cities manage to come...

    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    Lol. I always find it so amusing how we are quick to draw comparisons with tier 1 cities of the world, even though our cities are rotting in terms of public infrastructure. A few fancy roads, a big airport and a few kms of metro lines haven't increased the quality of life of majority of...

    Unfortunately, some of the cities can massively overhaul their bus network in the same cost that is being spent on short stretches of metro. Jaipur Metro is a glaring example which sees very low ridership and hasn't contributed to the reduction in traffic or eased commute of the city folks. Our...

    Guys let's not be so arrogant and self-obsessed that we can't even appreciate others for what they've done well. It is a fact that Pakistan had better Motorway system that ours for decades. It is only in the last 10 years that India has aggressively started focusing on highways... and we are...

    Modi's trip on Delhi Metro surprises many passengers...! (Modi was on his way to inaugurate the 13 km extension to Faridabad)

    Most such plans get implemented over a period of decades, not just in a 3-4 years. Unless there is a real need for tall buildings or large scale accommodations, there is no point constructing them. A more realistic picture can be received if we compare Amravathi with Chandigarh, New Raipur or...

    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    I am an Indian and I for one, don't mind seeing some pictures from outside India on this forum. These give us a sense of how others are doing and where we stand in our development journey. These should also help us to stay grounded and appreciate how much further we need to go... I'd prefer an...

    Agreed. Many of us get an inferior feeling when we wear traditional dresses instead of the western trouser-shirt. Kurta, pyjama, dhoti, pagdi, lungi, etc. are very much south asian dresses and there's nothing wrong in wearing them at a public place. Mumbai attackers were wearing denim and...

    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    I absolutely love maps... and am always pained to see the shabby maps of Indian cities and commuter routes. Even the official Delhi Metro map lacks the quality expected from a system of that level. It is really heartening to see the well-designed map of Mumbai transport, that use incorporated...

    This Is Why I Love My Pakistan.

    Guys, a lot of subcontinent food has been brought from Persia (Iran) and Turkey. Mughals brought a lot of it and perfected it through their skilled chefs. The main locations from where The rulers were at included Delhi Agra Lucknow Hyderabad. If any present day people can really take credit for...
