Political battles can be fought by the politicians, but the civil service must never be seen, even by imputation, as assisting these battles.

All we see is congestion on our roads, widespread slums and chawls, poor and inadequate waste management facilities and insufficient civic management.

A Draupadi’s moment of mirth can still cause a whole kingdom to perish.

For decades now, we have not been able to decide whether a city can go vertical or not.

Ease of doing business needs facilitation, but only legal ones, otherwise ease of living becomes hogwash.

Statistics tell a dismal story of the state of civic services across all states in our country.

Applause dies as do illusions built by fame.

Governments must learn to tell the truth and not hype the lies.

If all citizens get is a concentration camp akin to living by drains and sewers, it is an unforgivable failure of state duty, besides increasing health and crime hazards.

Facts are up for dispute, even if they are represented through camera actions or eyewitness accounts.
