Blogging from Bengaluru ...




International Airport.

I am flying out of here on the second full day of operation.

-- Drive to airport was smooth, on Sunday early morning
-- Airport looks pretty good ! They have a nice shade between blue and green (don't know the name) as their signature color, which is pretty good.
-- Don't plan on peeing at BIA. The bathrooms are tiny considering the kind of usage they are going to get. On Sunday morning they felt crowded.
-- On Sunday morning the departure lounge feels crowded. This is a *SMALL* airport, for the kind of usage its going to have, and nowhere as large as even a small city airport in the US.
-- There are tiny sparrows inside the building and flying around the ceiling and chirping. The effect of the chirping is incredible, feels so good. I hope they keep them.
-- I passed a bus (or rather my taxi was passed by the bus), one of the special services to the airport. Looked pretty smooth and comfortable, travelling in it.
-- The logo looks a little raw/unfinished. Yes ?

God! that does look incredibly crowded.
Does not make sense why they went ahead and made this huge investment and did not have more foresight and build planning for future growth?

It makes a lot of sense Sajini, the government is a monopoly and cares very little about providing good service. They are happy burning peoples resources that could have been far better utilized.

the government, if it is a monopoly, at least changes with a certain frequency. corporations collectively form an entrenched monopoly. it is much harder to deal with the illusion of choice created by corporations than the lack of choice presented by the government.
