The main culprits are the politicians who sleep over the future plans that are produced. Even if a project begins, they do their utmost to create hurdles in the path. <br /><br />Its time people vote wisely and kick the fellows who dont perform once they come to power.liju philiphttp://philip9876.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-47718472360211288342010-06-26T16:24:49.038+01:002010-06-26T16:24:49.038+01:00@ Sreejith, that &#39;sculpture&#39; is probably r/t the Water Authority works but it will be surfaced pretty soon. :) <br /><br />@ Praveen, may be slow n steady is our motto ;-)<br /><br />@ Chowlaji, oh sure, please. You&#39;re most welcome to my hometown! Anytime.. <br /><br />@ Mahesh, exactly. When it comes to development, even the opposition parties have been pragmatic and supportive sans Kerala, especially when the commies are in the void side of power. <br /><br />@ Nona, NICE may just be the odd case in Bangalore but it is an everyday tale back home. <br /><br />@ Jayadeep, no, I&#39;m not heralding the Bangalore model of urban development but just pointing out how enterprising and expeditious when it comes to project implementation. That&#39;s the whole point. We have good projects like the CRIP but its anyones guess when the project will be finished. <br /><br />@ Navas, yes, and we deserve better, alledey? What you think? Don&#39;t you think it will help you as well as your patients when you can reach Medical College in 10 min from Sreekaryam instead of the 1hour you take now? :)))scorpiogeniuswww.scorpiogenius.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-27083500828305570262010-06-25T09:12:10.262+01:002010-06-25T09:12:10.262+01:00Anish! I love the way you study and present facts! Truly worth mention! I flew over the Bakery junction in both directions. The flyover is decently built, but you can&#39;t use it. The road on the other side (towards Thampanoor) is miserable. It has some &#39;sculptures&#39; in the middle of the road, which nearly capsized my vehicle in the rain. I am ready to offer Rs 1000 to those that can show me some tar on the road!Sreejith Kumarhttp://www.sreejith.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-12062095412324617632010-06-23T18:52:09.684+01:002010-06-23T18:52:09.684+01:00true...watching the scale of development here in Bangalore and on my visits to chennai...its a little depressing to compare the slow moevemnt in our own native place...crusadertvmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-13115271518959726102010-06-22T12:39:29.000+01:002010-06-22T12:39:29.000+01:00There seems to be a lot of excitement.<br />I have never been to Travanderum--may be some day I will visit this beautiful citybkchowlahttp://www.indiaoftomorrow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-81904540715532604642010-06-22T04:22:58.576+01:002010-06-22T04:22:58.576+01:00The curse with us is that we spend more time playing politics over development and the boon for other cities are, irrespective of which govt rules, they try for the development of their city and the state. Sometimes the result may not be 100% as expected, but their will to do good for the state need to be appreciated. When will we ever learn.mahesh nairhttp://twitter.com/mahesh8090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-25213795650621918102010-06-21T07:28:22.640+01:002010-06-21T07:28:22.640+01:00I don&#39;t know why the development work moves at snail pace in our state! Everywhere else, the buildings come down in months paving way for road projects. Of course, there are special cases! These are indeed &quot;special&quot; case. For eg: NICE road in Bengaluru. Still stuck in land dispute. There are many conspiracy theories regarding it!Nonahttp://nonaspensieve.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-545228820153256902010-06-21T04:22:51.004+01:002010-06-21T04:22:51.004+01:00Please do not base the progress of any city based on the number of flyovers, that doesn&#39;t tell you the real story. Bangalore(which seems to be the hallmark for many)&#39;s flyovers have only helped in moving the bottlenecks around. And the mega 800cr e-city one is a mega waste, you don&#39;t gain much when all the other parts of the city are bottle necked to have a freeway at the end. And the real fact is that people don&#39;t use it because it is a toll road! The Bangalore way of &quot;development&quot; is not something that Trivandrum or any other town in Kerala should look at. It is very easy to acquire fertile agriculture land, kill the lakes, build slums which is not the case in Kerala. Kerala needs to look at a distributed development and that can be achieved without mega flyovers and definitely the &quot;development&quot; will be slower, but more sustainable one.Jayadeep Purushothamannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-30345307276387295812010-06-20T18:52:51.965+01:002010-06-20T18:52:51.965+01:00well ... we get what we deservenavasnoreply@blogger.com
