Are we really Independant? 🖖

I joined KMC and its been a littile over 3.5 years already. Seeing my mother institute grow and build capacity and quality while I pursue my MBBS is a virtue.

I was shocked to see that our college was in the top #20 in SOUTH INDIA!! That being almost competitive with institutions like kmc manipal and states like Kerala!!!!!.

And I wasn't expecting a top 100 rank for kmc at all. We really underestimate the capability we have on campus.

This is a college that stood strong despite consistent neglect from governments from decades. Really proud to be a kmcian today and everyday.

This is such a downgrade man. 8000.jobs to just under 800. Thats awful. 3 years ago, govt. records said there were 20 odd IT&ITES companies in the SEZ. (Mostly startups but around 5 big companies like tech mahindra, cyient, etc.) But now its just 3?? Thats awful progress. Thats not even progress. Why is there somuch neglect?

Did anyone work here earlier/or is anyone working? If yes, how true are these claims and are these companies leaving warangal IT SEZ?

At this point i feel like im sending all my cards to USA and Germany. But my recieved is very diverse from Singapore China USA and Netherlands.

We at r/kmcwarangal wrote to the Education Minister from our campus post office demanding for his resignation.

Started it in february and living it already.

Took the video from r/transitindia

We all know how busy JPN road, amrutha theatre area, chowrasthas, adalath get in the evening. And the rush wont stop and we all will live in a traffic hellhole. The rtc is the one thats supposed to solve for it but we all know what a sloth that is.

Niti ayog proposed an RRTS from hyd to wgl in the semi highspeed rail category. With delhi meerut rrts already operational along with meerut metro on shared tracks, it looks like a verymuch plausible solution for an impending problem we all will face atleast 5 to 10 years down the line. Revanth reddy will not start anything right now because he knows that if he touches anything, the govt that comes next will get the credit.

What do yall say.. if it happens will it work out well?

I joined postcrossing in late jan/feb. I live in a rural town. In South India. I am sending postxards and they are fetting recieved these days. But I dont recieve anything. I know its all a game if patience but.. People are receiving my cards, but I am not. Is this fine? Will I ever recieve anything?

Alot of you guys said the state govt aint taking initiative and thats why the cgov isnt doing anything. Ffs last year cgov told the state to acquire metro ph1 from l&t and we will give approval for ph2. Now this new circus. What have these 8 MPs done? BULLSHIT.

So, This year i took a resolution that I will use public transportation atleast once a month just for the love of it. (All my everywhere feed is how beautiful public transit systems are in Japan and Europe). After that, it kinda changed how i look at this city. Growing up in warangal, it was always private transportation everywhere. A school teacher told us in our class that, buses are the best mode of transportation when i was in 6th grade (2015-16). The govt just launched the JnNurm buses back. Then, i told my mom and took my first ever bus ride from fatimanagar to hanumakonda chowrasta. It was so cool to see those lights digital dislpay boards, comfortable seats. They phased em out eventually, so did my interest in public transport. We went back to using our own vehicles.

Then, since 2 years, ive been fascinated about metro rail, urban transit and oublic transportation again. (Due to my massive content consumption on yt). In that madness i ended up drawing a metro map for warangal, which is on my profile if you scroll down enough.

This year, I thought, instead of fantasizing about things so far away, why not use the public transport that is literally infront of me. So i took the resolution that i did.

Here is my experience now,

WARANGAL RTC IS GOATED, if you have all day to yourself. If you need to go somewhere on time. You are fucked. Sometimes, three buses go on the same route right next to each other, and then for 45mins you wont see a bus on your route. They are that irregular.

Now to the good part,

1. I reached home quicker than while driving (if i catch the bus immediately after reaching busstop - which is most of the times).

2. I reach home more relaxed instead of getting stressed over the assholes driving in warangal do.

3. Most of all, its cheap and stressfree.

Again, there have been a few instances where i felt wierd, because.. route 3 is always overcrowded till.

peddammagadda. So.. that made me feel nauseous once. But its almost empty with barely 10 passengers beyond KU X Road.

So yea. I got a lot of judgement from my friends for using buses instead of booking a rapido bike. But i use the RTC buses occasionally more than once.

Here is a quick idea for someone who wants to build something im warangal. - you can develop a bus tracking / predictability system where you track all buses and at each busstand a sma screen will show how long it will take the next bus to arrive. (Its not something new, this tech already exists elsewhere but, you can build and pilot it with warangal buses and later scale it at hyd level) .

Idk if it works or not. Govts themselves have developed such infrastructure elsewhere but RTC works for a lot kf different reasons. Try it out if you find it reasonable.

Ik there will be a lot of friction fom RTCs end, but once such citizen infrastructure exists, we can slowly decongest our traffic.

Hope you use the buses too 👉👈 if youre someone who already uses the buses.. lmk, i have something planned.
