A campaign by Bangalorean students, who have decided that they’ve had enough of potholes, smoke in their faces, militant auto-drivers and traffic pile-ups, and that its time to go green on wheels. We’re kick-starting Eco-Pool by attempting to reform our college-mates, but for all we know, it could catch on quicker than we think possible. So here’s what you can do: write in and flood the inbox of greenonwheels@gmail.com with your Bangalore road experiences. We’ll post it under your name, and maybe eventually, Eco-pooling could pave the way for a greener and less-clogged-up Bangalore.

The rat race

Clogged roads of Bangalore often make me wonder whether the roads are for the vehicles, pedestrians or the cows and dogs because all of them seem to be part of a rat race. Taking an auto to college has become a routine for the lot of us staying together even though its’ just a 15 minutes walk but I end up taking an auto to reach early and to get 5 minutes of extra sleep. But soon I realised its’ better to wake up early and walk rather than take an auto and get stuck in the jam for half an hour.
