A pothole in Bengaluru is easy to notice. A damaged road can shake a car, throw a two-wheeler off balance, damage a tyre or force a driver into another lane. What is much harder for an ordinary commuter is figuring out what happens after the pothole is noticed. Who built the road? Which contract covered that stretch? Is the road still under a maintenance or defect-liability period? Which contract…

I was already in…

Today, I want to share one such experience, because I am sure many people who travel to airports regularly will understand exactly what I am talking about. I had an 8:40 AM flight from Bengaluru to my hometown. I live quite far from the airport, on the southern side of Bengaluru, so I knew I could not take any chances wit…
This morning, I did something that I usually try to do but somehow keep postponing. I got ready on time and decided that I would leave early for office. The plan was simple. If I reached early, I could finish my work on time and leave on time too. No last-minute rushing, no unnecessary waiting and hopefully a slightly less stressful day. I was ready, I opened Rapido and started looking for an aut…
