Some of the recent news brief from my state:
- Deve Gowda sheds crocodile tears because Ashok Kheny built NICE road around Bangalore. His futile efforts to empathize with the farmers who supposedly lost their land looked funny.
- Reddy brothers got arrested. CBI raided Janardhan Reddy's palace in Bellary that had few dozens of diamond studded gold bangles, Rs. 40 crore cash, gold plated phone, 18 crore worth chopper, 10 crore worth DC designed Volvo bus, 8 crore worth Rolce Royce, golden throne and whole bunch of other golden sundries at his place. He's leading a humble life now sleeping on straw-mat and eating prison's uppittu for breakfast.
- Yeddy got arrested too. Surprisingly Yeddy, who is usually good at crying, didn't cry but bore a smiling face while surrendering to police.
- Actor Darshan beats up his wife and holds his son at gunpoint for which he was put behind the bars. Since he couldn't promote his movie "Sarathi" at the time of release (for he was in the prison), he blocked traffic in Majestic area today to get blessings of God and his fans as a part of promotion. News channels broadcasted his arrest drama so long that it outran all his movie length put together.
- HD Kumaraswamy was the only smart-ass to save his head from Lokayuktha/CBI despite owning the whole of Kumaraswamy layout. Kudos to you Mr. KS!
- Corporators are shit scared in Bangalore these days after a couple of them were assassinated in the city.
- A new trend is observed in the state - the moment a VIP gets arrested all his hidden diseases surface and he is immediately moved from prison to infirmary.
- The most lucrative business in the state currently is to start a news channel which telecasts 24/7 sensational drama and entertainment.
- Namma metro inauguration is on 20th October, the very first line from MG Road to Bayyappanana Halli. Finally it happened! People are requested not to throw trash and spit inside the train.
- BBMP is the most animal friendly organizations on this planet and has put PETA, PFA to shame by their animal friendly decision they took in the light of metro inauguration. They net all the stray dogs in MG road area for a smooth inaugural ceremony on 19th October and they're gonna let them free on MG road on 21st October!
- Raichur is in a pathetic state. 2 of the 4 thermal towers have stopped functioning which has resulted in unscheduled power cuts and load shedding in the city.
- Kids in Raichur district are dying out of malnutrition almost on the scale of underdeveloped African countries. Nobody has bothered about it yet.
- Average number of pot holes in Bangalore still remains a constant. Old ones are filled and new ones have just sprouted out.
- Metro work in the rest of the city has disrupted the lives of everyday commuters with everyday traffic jams in the city.
- The increased fuel prices has resulted in increase in pollution levels in Bangalore. Auto drivers who used to mix petrol to kerosene in 75-25 ratio have just swapped it and almost all autos spit out venomous white smoke.
- Homestays around Bangalore are making quite a business since the oblivious IT crowd's weekend is pretty much spent there.
- The traffic police just won't give a damn to control the traffic, he's just waiting at the signal constantly praying that someone makes a mistake and he can pocket his quick buck.
