Major crisis in the city

There is an extreme water crisis headed for Bangalore and the authorities are literally pushing us further towards this impending doom.

Bangalore is situated at a height of 920m above mean sea level, with no perennial rivers flowing through the city and hundreds of miles away from either easy coast or west coast.

In order to get ground water here, you have to dig borewells 1-1.5kms depth. Bangalore used to be dependent on cauvery water supply for all its needs. Now with extreme level of urbanisation in this part, the water crisis is worsening. What is more alarming is the fact that...even after knowing about such an impending crisis, the authorities here are leasing more and more land to companies. Just recently 140acres of land was given to Applied Materials company. One company implies 20-30 new pgs coming in. On top of that new flats and housing complexes to house the senior level management. Why are the authorities allowing this?

One more big company in Bangalore implies huge water shortage in the next few summers. The government should stop allowing companies to come here anymore. If this continues then in addition to the traffic we will have an unprecedented water crisis in the city.

Can we do something about this?

So I wanted to talk about the ending of GOT, how Dany became the last villain and Bran eventually the ruler of the kingdoms.

Before I even begin obviously the ending was crap with 3 seasons worth of content condensed into 2 episodes.

But the thing is....idea wise I felt the ending is perfect. I think Dany ending up as the mad queen is perfect. Not because of lineage and all ...but how she has been treated all her life...the one who brought back dragons, the one who freed all slaves ...abolished slavery everywhere. It was only her trusted counsellors Jorah and Missandei who kept her grounded. Dany must have started to feel like God....I think more evident by the fact of her chain of titles....which she carried around everywhere.

I found Dany to be somewhat similar to Paul atreidis of the Dune series ....a people's messiah turned evil.

Now people can argue that Jon will be the rightful heir to the thrones and for an extended period of time on the show, Tyrion and Varys seem to be convinced of it. But if you consider critically, Jon is a knight and not a king. People believe in him but will he able to rule them...because as a matter of fact he has never ruled...the north was controlled by Sansa mostly...Jon was always away on war.

The thing that they did with Jon... bundling him off to the night's watch is similar to things we see politically...(Open to debate on this)

So before going to Bran...if you look at GOT and all the kings portrayed in the series ...you can say that the realm was the most peaceful, when Robert Baratheon was king. Though Robert did not like to be the ruler but he had a trusted small council which handled everything while he was away on his own.

Now coming to Bran the broken.

I think by the end Tyrion realised that in order to achieve peace they should go back to a similar arrangement. So he chose Bran, he will never interfere in the matters of state, cuz he just didn't have any interest. So the realm will technically be ruled by the small council with Bran being just a figurehead. Also the problem with Robert was his supposed kids...which won't be arrising with Bran. So basically Tyrion will be ruling the realm.

What do you all think about this?

Agreed that the plot was too rushed but I think idea wise the ending of GOT is perfect
