  No matter where and how, some people will make business opportunities where one would think none exist....here's a sign on the compound wall of a house near Adiga's, off Bannerghatta Road:  I wonder what the house owner has to say about that...or whether the house owner is the person who's advertised the space! ⊕

We often live in worlds that are completely sealed off from others in the same city. Most of my friends are not aware of how other people, such as gays or eunuchs, live, and do not want to know, either. Their reaction to seeing such people is only disgust and fear.

Most buses have only the pictures of fetching starlets on them...so once in a while, it's good to see someone that we can all look up to! What a pleasant surprise it was, to see this!⊕
