Courting Courtesy: The noob traffic cop intern at Koramangala 1st block!
http://courtingcourtesy.blogspot.com/2007/04/noob-traffic-cop-intern-at-koramangala.html
Getting politeness, patience and civic sense back on Bangalore roads. Tuesday, April 24, 2007. The noob traffic cop intern at Koramangala 1st block! The first time I saw him, he seemed pretty scared with the traffic in that junction! He's kinda gotten over it nowadays - or so it seems. His latest prop seems to be some kind of neon baton with which he exudes some extra authority but to no effect. I'm just wondering.is there any one who's checking this fella's progress?

Courting Courtesy: The missing divider on Agara Tank Road!
http://courtingcourtesy.blogspot.com/2007/04/missing-divider-on-agara-tank-road.html
Getting politeness, patience and civic sense back on Bangalore roads. Tuesday, April 24, 2007. The missing divider on Agara Tank Road! Wonder what happened to this one! It was laid just about a month or two back and despite causing some initial problems - in terms of stagnating rain water, slightly slow moving traffic and so on - I found it quite useful in organizing the traffic in that road. The lorries have started using this road - again - as permanent parking spots, essentially reducing one lane.

Bangalore and Bangaloreans: The bull and the bullock-cart
http://responsible-bangalorean.blogspot.com/2007/04/bull-and-bullock-cart.html
Tuesday, April 17, 2007. The bull and the bullock-cart. The other day I was going back home from my Work, and I found this hilarious sight. A bullock-cart is being used as a garbage career, and clicked them. Three thoughts run though my mind. It is funny to see such thing in India’s HI-Tech city, Bangalore. Where is this garbage being dumped? Obviously not far off, at the designated place, the dumping yard. So, where? If they dump this some place nearby, it can be big health hazards for the locality.

Getting politeness, patience and civic sense back on Bangalore roads. Tuesday, June 26, 2007. Right of way, for heaven's sake! A biker with a lady in the pillion on Sonakshi Sharma's side jumped the gun first and turned right into the Raheja Residency road. At the same damn time, a red Maruti Zen decided it was time to move straight - he was moving from Wipro side towards the Sonakshi Sharmas'. The Zen driver who had been patient till then got pissed and came out of his car to inspect his side of the dam...

Courting Courtesy: The good cop!
http://courtingcourtesy.blogspot.com/2007/04/good-cop.html
Getting politeness, patience and civic sense back on Bangalore roads. Tuesday, April 10, 2007. Being good on road has its rewards. Trust me. It happened to me today morning! Just as I was hurrying to cross the Agara junction to get to the road on the right of Agara lake (the one that starts with the Aiyappa Temple), I saw this poor chap in his cycle with a huge load of grass (real, Indian green grass, not the naughty, American one! He was actually smiling and asking me to move fast! Posted by Karthik S.

Courting Courtesy: March 2008
http://courtingcourtesy.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Getting politeness, patience and civic sense back on Bangalore roads. Wednesday, March 19, 2008. Times of India's Unlock Bangalore campaign! This is a fantastic initiative and is long overdue in this city. Came across this site called Smiling Drivers as part of a write-up in this campaign. Check out smilingdrivers.org. Seems like a take off on Caveat no. 8 of Courting Courtesy's 9 point charter. But without getting into who thought of it first (does it really matter? Great job, Ravi. Posted by Karthik S.
