Another year ending

December it is and 2009 is going away. Its rather going away very quickly i feel

Most of us would have made pledges for the new year and its now time to walk the talk backwards to understand, if we really did adhere to those pledges we made. It’s important we do this because, the next year is already on us and we will need to approach it with a newer perspective and newer pledges

Its also a good time to remember of positives. God has kept me safe and i am sure you the reader too are alive and safe. More often than not, we tend to forget the goodness of God’s mercy. Its new every morning as the Bible says.

 

What was our influence on this society… a good question to ask ourselves. Shouldn’t we be doing some good for other people rather than be inwardly focused?

Tech savvy in Bangalore

 

When in Rome, be a Roman… ! hmm that seems to be the mantra off late adopted by civic bodies in Bangalore is what i must believe

Bangalore as a city has been the fore-runner with all IT & ITES, this means that there are all sort of tech & non tech solutions that are either designed, implemented or manufactured here. This definitely meant that its all here !

That said, any Bangalorean will only grimace, about his experience with a civic body here. You could almost get nothing at any of these departments done from home either on phone or computer. To even understand a policy, we would need to visit an office and then get it clarified

Its 2010… well the year 2009 is over… ! The change is here for us to see and believe. You may say its not entirely done.. but an optimistic person would agree that its all happening

 

BBMP – Complaints Registration

Spandana – This is a novel scheme started by the Bruhat Bangalore City Corporation.  Commissioner BL Meena should be lauded for bringing this eternally un-reachable service closer home. I was going through the site and found a link ‘ Grievance Redressal ‘, this i thought would be some contact details and procedures galore or at the best another web form to capture some complaint details. Well, it took me by surprise when i actually went through it. Yes, it was a form but with more customization. The app wanted your ward details, address, Dept to which the complaint would relate to and finally the actual complaint / issue. The best and the most sophisticated part was, this portal generates a security tag to avoid any auto-logging cases possibly, which i felt was too much… anyways aspirational.

Here comes the most interesting part… On clicking finish, my mobile phone buzzed receipt of a SMS, it was the Unique Reference number of the complaint that i logged with BBMP. All in all – isn’t that something fantastic. At-least give it that the start is fabulous, lets hope BL Meena & Co keep it rolling with actions after the Unique Ref No.. !
