Water supply will be cut in several areas as a major supply line in Cauvery IV Stage, drawing water from T K Halli, will be re-aligned as per a directive of the high court.
The supply line, which cuts across the Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor at Channasandra on Uttarahalli-Kengeri Road, is scheduled to be shifted as per an approved corridor alignment. The litigation has been on for some time and the HC has directed BWSSB to re-align the supply line.
The shifting will require linking of new lines to the existing ones. For this purpose, pumps will be switched off for three days and water supply will be affected. BWSSB has advised the public to store sufficient water. Regular supply will be restored on July 20.
The affected areas include:
West division: Nagarbhavi (all stages), Chandra Layout, Vijayanagar, Hampinagar, RR Nagar, Kengeri, WCR 2nd Stage, Mahalakshmi Layout, Magadi Road.

Tips while filling Petrol/Diesel
Some tips for filling petrol and diesel:-
Only buy or fill up your car or bike during early morning, when the groundtemperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have theirstorage tanks underground.. The colder the ground, the more dense the fuel.When it gets warmer, petrol expands. So, buying in the afternoon or in theevening, your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum business, thespecific gravity and the temperature play an important role. 1 degree risein temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations donot have temperature compensation at the pumps.
Another most important tip is to fill up when your tank is HALF FULL. Thereason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank the less is the airoccupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine.
Another useful information is to avoid filling up if there is a fuel truckpumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy. Most likely, thepetrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and youmight pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.
Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.
DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS - IT IS IMPORTANT FOR AS MANY PEOPLE TO KNOWABOUT THIS, ESPECIALLY IN THE WAKE OF RISING PETROL PRICES.

'A Leader Should Know How to Manage Failure' - APJ Abdul Kalam
Former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam : 'A Leader Should Know How to Manage Failure'
India Knowledge@Wharton: Could you give an example, from your own experience, of how leaders should manage failure?
Kalam: Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India's satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India's "Rohini" satellite into orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources -- but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. Thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal.
By 1979 -- I think the month was August -- we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. My experts -- I had four or five of them with me -- told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first stage, everything worked fine. In the second stage, a problem developed. Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system plunged into the Bay of Bengal. It was a big failure.
That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof. Satish Dhawan, had called a press conference. The launch was at 7:00 am, and the press conference -- where journalists from around the world were present -- was at 7:45 am at ISRO's satellite launch range in Sriharikota [in Andhra Pradesh in southern India]. Prof. Dhawan, the leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He took responsibility for the failure -- he said that the team had worked very hard, but that it needed more technological support. He assured the media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed. Now, I was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization.
The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite -- and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, "You conduct the press conference today."
I learned a very important lesson that day. When failure occurred, the leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he gave it to his team. The best management lesson I have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.
Quotes about Sachin....pleasure to read
"Destined to be a great" -Barry Richards.
"He is 99.5 percent perfect. I'd pay to see him" - Viv Richards.
"Don't bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours" - Michael Kasprowicz.
"It's scary, where the hell do we bowl to him" -Allan Border.
"There is no shame being beaten by such a great player. We didn't lose to Team India. We Lost to Sachin Tendulkar" -Steve Waugh.
"If I've to bowl to Sachin, I'll bowl with my helmet on. He hits the ball so hard" - Dennis Lillee.
"I'd like to see him go out and bat one day with a stump. I tell you he'd do okay" -Greg Chappell.
"Cricketers like Sachin come once in a lifetime and I am privileged he played in my time" - Wasim Akram.
"The pressure on me is nothing as compared to Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin, like God, must never fail. The crowd always expects him to succeed and it is too much pressure on him" -Mark Waugh.
"Everybody gets 15 minutes of fame. But if there's one person I've admired over a 15-year of period, it's definitely Sachin." - Brain Lara
"I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player" -Shane Warne.
"I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity betweenthe two... his compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel" -Sir Donald Bradman.
"In an over I can bowl six different balls. But then Sachin looks at me with a sort of gentle arrogance down the pitch as if to say 'Can you bowl
me another one?'" - Adam Hollioke
"Sachin is cricket's God" Barry Richards. "You might pitch a ball on the off stump and think you have bowled a good ball and he walks across and hits it for two behind midwicket. His bat looks so heavy but he just waves it around like it's a toothpick" -Brett Lee
"You have to decide for yourself whether you're bowling well or not. He's going to hit you for fours and sixes anyway" -Micheal Kasprowicz
"Technically, you can't fault Sachin. Seam or spin, fast or slow? Nothing is a problem" -Geoffrey Boycott.
"His life seems to be stillness in a frantic world... [When he goes out to bat], it is beyond chaos - it is a frantic appeal by a nation to one man. The people see him as a God... "Mathew Hayden, on Sachin Tendulkar.
"I (Embarrassed laugh) am a normal person who plays cricket. I am nothing more than that" Sachin Tendulkar, on being told of above quote.
"The fact of the matter is that India still needs Sachin in a big way. All this talk of the youngsters taking over is very foolish. The reason why Tendulkar is so important for the team is because of his ability to inspire others and make them perform under pressure" -
Some day on "Times of India".
Cricket is the religion and Sachin is the God. Team India without Sachin is like Temple without God.
And, this is the best!!! (A True fan of Sachin carried this Banner in a match...)

Public Grievance in India
Government of India has an online Grievance forum at http://darpg-grievance.nic.in.
Can you imagine this is happening in INDIA?
The govt. wants people to use this tool to highlight the problems they faced while dealing with Government officials or departments like Passport Office, Electricity board, BSNL/MTNL, Railways etc.
I know many people will say that these things don't work in India, but this actually works as one of our colleague in CSC found. The guy I'm talking about lives in Faridabad. Couple of months back, the Faridabad Municipal Corporation laid new roads in his area and the residents were very happy about it. But 2 weeks later, BSNL dug up the newly laid roads to install new cables which annoyed all the residents including this guy. But it was only this guy! Who used the above listed grievance forum to highlight his concern. And to his surprise, BSNL and Municipal Corporation of Faridabad were served a show because notice and the guy received a copy of the notice in one week. Government has asked the MC and BSNL about the goof up as it's clear that both the government departments were not in sync at all.
So use this grievance forum and educate others who don't know about this facility. This way we can at least raise our concerns instead of just talking about the ' System ' in India.
Invite your friends to contribute for many such happenings.
PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE IF U WANT OUR INDIA TO HAVE A BETTER ToMORROW & FORWARD THIS MAIL TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.

To avoid Traffic in Bangalore (Chennai, Mumbai, kolkatha, Delhi, Cochi, Coimbatore, salem, Mysore, Rajastan, Agra, Hyderabad, Madurai, Trichy)
To control the traffic in Bangalore or in any other City in India or china(Chennai, Mumbai, kolkatha, Delhi, Cochi, Coimbatore, salem, Mysore, Rajastan, Agra, Hyderabad, Madurai, Trichy, Sri nagar, Jammu, Nagpur ) car pool is the best way fro employees in a company.
In an Organaisation 10,000 employees might be working , out this strength more than 50% of the people will have their own vehicle (Car, motor cycle). If every employee of that organaisation uses his own vehcle and starts from the different parts of the city, finally it will end up with the Traffic in the one Road. It will increase the polution , Traffic, Noise on the Road and more fuel consumption which is not the main reason for Indian economy, but it could be the one reason for this.
To avoid this situation, people who are starting from the same place or nearby place can club and can come by one's car or bike. those people can share the expense among them. From the they save their money as well as India.
Jaihind.

Corruption in Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC)
Everyone knows that in Bangalore transportation cost is very high when compared to the neighbour states like Tamilnadu, Kerala. I strongly believe it could be because of the Bangalorians only. Most of the people who travel by Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) bus are not buying tickets. Even if they decided to buy the ticket, they pay only partial amount to Conductors. BMTC Bus Conductors also accepts that partial amount and are not giving any tickets i.e., say Rs.2 against the Ticket cost RS.5. People think that they are getting benefit of Rs.3 from this. But really they are loosing their cost indirectly. This is one of the main reasons to increase the Ticket cost in Bangalore.
As of my knowledge BMTC conductors and Drivers earn more than Rs.25, 000 per month and they own at least one good apartment in Bangalore, especially in hot of the City.
None of the Bangalorians bother about this. Somebody should involve in this matter and take action on this.
My suggestion to control this corruption is, BMTC should form a separate team for this anti corruption operation. Let’s say BMTC anti-corruption Squad. (BACS). Allocate specific person to a particular route and ask them to check the passengers Tickets regularly. It’s similar to Ticket Checker. I believe BMTC has some people for this job. But I am not sure how active they are. If passenger didn’t buy a ticket fine them, If Conductors didn’t provide the ticket suspend them for a month. We should spread this message through news paper and make people aware of this anti corruption in BMTC buses.
If we implement this project we can control at least 50% of corruption in BMTC busses. Then there will be no chance for increasing the ticket cost very often. As a Bangalorian we should involve in this anti- corruption.
As of my knowledge BMTC conductors and Drivers earn more than Rs.25, 000 per month and they own at least one good apartment in Bangalore, especially in hot of the City.

Bommanahalli - (Bangalore - Karnataka - India)
Bommanahalli is located in the Hosur Road, about one kilometer from Silk Board Junction (Towards electronics City). Bommanahalli junction is famous for Traffic Jam in the Hosur Road. Bommanahalli junction has a branch road which leads to Begur. We could see the traffic Jam in this junction by 24/7.
Begur is well developed resedential area and has several apartments, Garment companies and Ceramic Industries. For more information about Begur please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begur%2C_Bangalore%2C_India
Traffic Jam in Bommanahalli is not latest news. It has been ages now. But none of the Kannada Politicians or Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) is bother about this.
Recently they have started a bridge construction which covers Silk Board to Electronics City, which they have started just before the Bommanahalli junction. They didn't give any relief to this junction. At least they should make a subway or at least a branch from that bridge, something they has to do. I don't know what they are going to do in this junction to reduce the Traffic.
If they are not giving any solution to this junction though this bridge construction, at least they should implement the traffic Signal system which is automated instead placing the Traffic Police. Hence it is huge Junction Traffic Police men can not control the people. Nowadays nobody follows the Traffic Rules in the City.
And one more thing what I am worrying about is the Bus Stop near the Bommanahalli Junction. At least BMTC bus stops couple of minutes in the bus Stop, but the Private buses which runs from Attibelle to KR Market they stops at least 10 minutes in a Bus Stops. A police man does not bother about the private buses.
Let’s wait and see, till the bridge completion. Hopefully they might do some arrangements for this Junction also.

Bangalore Traffic
I travel Electronics city to Bommanahalli everyday to reach my office. The distance between the two places is around 4 to 5 kms. I spend at least half an hour to reach the destination. If I go by bike on day time (without traffic), I can reach the destination within 10 mins.
Today morning there were a huge traffic in HOSA Road, I thought some accident would have happened. In front of my vehicle there were hundreds of vehicles standing on the road. After 10 minutes, somehow I managed to cross that particular HOSA Road junction.
(HOSA Road is a place available on the HOSUR road, next to Electronics City Phase -1 towards Madivala. It has a small junction which leads to Sarjapur. There are two Police men appointed on this signal, to control the traffic.)
After crossing the signal, I happened to see a shocking situation. Next to signal there were no vehicles on the road. Finally I noticed one thing the traffic occurs because of the Private Buses which runs from Attibele to K.R.Market and BMTC brown buses which has a driver who act as driver and as well as Conductor. These two vehicles were blocking the road and were busy in filling their bus seats. Traffic Police man also standing near by that bus, but unfortunately he didn’t try to clear the traffic or regulate the traffic.
The problem because of the “BUS Stop”, either the Bus stop should be inext to the signal (after 100 to 200 meters) or before the Signal (100 to 200 meters). But in HOSA road the Bus Stop is situated exactly in the Signal.
Somebody has to act on this issue and has to take action, either Traffic Police or respective BDA authority.
Share you, another experience in next post.

Bangalore/Bengalooru
I have been living in Bangalore for more than 3 years. I am proud to say “I am a Bangalorian”, I like Bangalore and I want to spend rest my life in Bangalore. I like Kannada people’s culture and Kannada language more.
The best thing about Bangalore is, it’s Greenery. Wherever you go, you could find variety of flowers, plants in Gardens. Bangalore is well known as “Garden City”. Its climate is another advantage for the Garden City. Bangalore is a well known Tourist places in South India.
Bangalore has huge number of Industries in Software, Electrical, Electronics, Bio-Chemical and Mechanical. Bangalore has Head Quarters for India’s second and third largest software companies Infosys and Wipro. Other than this Bangalore is the capital for more than 3000 software firms which includes few MNC’s.
In Mechanical field it has large number of small and big firms who are the main spare part suppliers for India’s largest motor vehicles producing companies like Ashok Leyland and TVS.
