A Tale of Two Cities: How People Move

Bengaluru #traffic is notorious. Its #PublicTransport, under-resourced.

London is 2x larger, yet extremely walkable and lets people commute in 30-60 mins.
Are there lessons here? 🚍🚇🚆

With 900+ mn voters and 600+ parties, #IndianElections are in a league of their own. USA at 158mn, is a distant second.

Traditional maps or aggregate stats simply don't capture the sheer scale and complexity.

Here's an interactive viz to illustrate this

#LanguageLearning is hard and the fear of mispronouncing words doesn't make it easier.

But if we #transliterate English, French, or German into an Indic script like #Devanagiri (हिंदी) which is rich and phonetic, perhaps there's a way out.

I wrote #saras, a webapp to do just that.

The cause of using Kannada more is just, but such vandalism and threats can't be condoned; they only do more harm to the cause.

Positive campaigns, creative peaceful activism need to become mainstream. In extreme use courts if needed but not such violence.

The #emissions debate often ignores a country's population, its wealth, and crucially... trade.

Countries need to do some soul-searching. Are our lifestyles too extravagant vs the rest of the world? Is that fair?
