An ode the Namma Bengaluru

It's TERRIBLE. The govt has done NOTHING last several years.

My art stall is at jayamahal palace exhibition from August 20-23. It's the first stall.

A Lokayukta raid involving KAS officer B. Mallikarjuna has raised serious questions about alleged disproportionate assets.

According to reports, authorities reportedly uncovered around ₹2.53 crore in cash and details of nearly 100 acres of land, with the total assets under scrutiny reportedly exceeding ₹13 crore.

What makes the case even more striking is the reported claim that the officer had not even drawn his salary, raising questions about the source of such wealth.

This is currently an investigation/allegation, not a conviction. The authorities will have to establish how the assets were acquired and whether they are disproportionate to legitimate income.

What do you think? how should Karnataka deal with cases of alleged corruption involving senior government officials?

I got an auto through another app but this guy pissed me off so much that I decided to not cancel my ride request. Why should auto guys have all the fun?

Just sharing this because many people may not know this.

As per the Bengaluru RTA fare revision, the auto fare is ₹36 for the first 2 km and ₹18 for every km after that. The revised fare came into effect from August 1, 2025.

Also, the Bengaluru Traffic Police Spot Fines list says:

“Demanding Excess Fare & refusal to come for hire etc., by Autorickshaw Driver or Taxi Driver”

• 1st offence – ₹500
• 2nd & subsequent offences – ₹1,000

This is listed under Rule 13(U) of the KMV Rules read with Section 177 of the MV Act.

So if an auto driver refuses to put the meter and says “meter haakalla”, don't fight with him.

If it is safe:

• Record the auto number
• Record the refusal/video
• Note the time and location
• Report it to Bengaluru Traffic Police/Transport Department with the evidence.

The fine is not automatically ₹5,000. The BTP spot-fine list specifically shows ₹500 first time and ₹1,000 for subsequent offences for excess fare/refusal to come for hire.

and if u need your district RTA auto fare price you can check the respective DISTRICT RTA website if nothing shown related to auto fare price then u can go for RTI

This is at Mahalakshmi layout opposite Ibaco. The house belongs to a congress MLA, same party as KBG. The clearance drive happened here but they conveniently left this out.

Dear Women, please put children before illicit relationships — One of the most horrifying things i read about in this news.. Sadly, such incidents seem to be becoming increasingly common.

If a marriage is no longer working, people should choose separation or divorce rather than committing such a terrible crime. There are many single mothers and fathers who raise their children responsibly.

Marriage should be built on trust, commitment and loyalty. Both men and women should respect their partners and, above all, put their children’s well-being first. If Marriage Fails, Walk Away—Don’t Destroy Lives.

Quote 2:A woman's beauty is a wonderful thing, but if she uses that same beauty as a weapon, how is that fair, my friend?

I’ve been creating art mostly in solitude for years, so seeing my paintings displayed together and watching people actually stop, look at them, talk about them and spend time with them was such a special experience.

So many kids came by and told me that they wanted to become artists when they grew up or that they loved painting too. Those little interactions honestly made my heart so full.

The stall was part of Rotary Kanakpura's Kalavana initiative, where the stall fees go towards funding dialysis machines.

Still processing the whole experience, but I wanted to share a few pictures of my little corner at the flower show.
