Some days you demand answers, some days you uncover truths. Either way, India grows stronger.

Some people: ‘Here’s a 3ft crater in the road, please fix it.’ Others: ‘Here’s my cat, pls approve.’ Severity level: LOW (but cute). Please upload potholes, not pawholes🐱 #PotholeOrPawhole

Devs keep asking: “How can I work on projects that actually matter?” I’ve built Empowered-Indian & IndianPotholes, both are open-source, live & ready. But I can’t build this alone. This is a request to all of the developer community: if you like React, Node.js, civic-tech, or

From Lalit Mehta in 2008 to Raghvendra Bajpai in Sitapur this year - strangled, shot, buried, forgotten. RTI activists are targets, not protected. The system that calls itself a democracy protects the corrupt while silencing truth-tellers. Shame on a system that rewards killers

Every submission doesn’t sit in isolation. They will be compiled & shared with the Indian Potholes Project (Roshan Singh), creating a consolidated dataset that civic bodies & partners can’t ignore!

Mumbai is indeed blessed by Aai MumbaDevi, but please we need to stop living in the delusion that we are doing better compared to other countries or hell even if we are there's always room for improvement. P.S. Here's me trying to reach office, left home at 09:30 am, and it's

So here goes v0.1 ie very incomplete, a mere shell of the thing it's going to become but it's a start. mumbai-communities.svs.io and the code at github.com/svs/mumbai-com…. Of course, this is very raw and buggy and incomplete. I would love if you could try and log in and try to map

Today, I spent 4–5 hours stuck on a single problem. No fancy breakthrough, no sudden spark of genius. Just me, circling the same wall over and over, trying different doors until one finally opened. It’s draining when time slips away like that. You feel unproductive, even a

My father ran away from home against my grandfather’s wishes, who wanted him to study. He pulled rickshaws, worked in factories, and step by step entered corporate life. He still recalls how, in joy at his first salary, he unknowingly tore the note itself. I still remember

Incredible news: apparently there exists something called civil administration. Sadly, in Bengaluru it lives only in files and tenders, never on the actual roads.

Everywhere in Mumbai it’s the same scene: dug-up roads, barricades that stay for years, half-finished bridges, metro lines that never seem to end. And yet, every ribbon cutting is portrayed as if it’s an upkaar. Do we really deserve this? It’s our money, our taxes, our city.

Filed an RTI in Maharashtra asking for details of MLA fund spending. Govt reply: “We got your application, but we don’t maintain a consolidated record. Please file separate RTIs with every single district.” Absolute joke. Other states have consolidated databases, dashboards,

For those asking what it means if consolidated figures are not available, here is a striking number to reflect on. Thanks to my friend CitizenRebel, I discovered that the Government of Maharashtra has allocated ₹2200 crores for this scheme. But if no centralised database

We recently filed an RTI in Maharashtra about MLALADS. The reply we got said there’s no central data and that we should contact each district separately. We are still in the process of doing that. But here’s an example from Uttarakhand. Even the district office there said they

Bare me the theatrics. At this point I’ve heard “we’re cooked” so often in the past three months I’m starting to wonder if I should open a diner instead.

What a pathetic take. A CEO exposes that officials are extorting bribes, and your first reaction is to hurl playground insults at him? That’s not defending the system, that’s licking the boots of corruption. The Prevention of Corruption Act doesn’t just target those who pay

So let me get this straight. A decorated Army Chief who has spent decades guarding the nation’s borders, leading men into battle, and carrying the weight of national security on his shoulders is now supposed to seek approval from Twitter warriors before speaking his mind? Spare

Wanted to know how our elected representatives spent public money. Filed an RTI. The reply? Pay ₹9,248 to see how your own money was used. The cost of transparency in India - ₹9,248.
