I
believe that one person can make a difference. In my two decades as a journalist, which included working with MiD Day and Rupert Murdoch-powered Explocity, I have seen several examples of this. The latest happened just last month when I teamed up with KHHSP Residents Welfare Association in Somasunderpalya to organise a massive protest against the Karnataka Compost Development Corporation. I played the role of a catalyst and organiser of the event. My unabated 24/7 social media activism infected enough people in the SPNIT/HSRxFed Whatsapp group that a fortnight later, we saw over 1000 people not only turn up on October 31 for the protest but also take part in our ‘signature campaign’. Historical! The moral of the story? Don’t judge your present or future by the past. If you want change, be the change. I am not trying to pat myself on the back. Rather, I am trying to motivate you to become like me. And you can be. Just remain focused on your goal, ignore the naysayers and believe in yourself. Have the will and you can indeed move mountains. Ofcourse, the KCDC waste processing plant is still contaminating the air and ground water. It is still being managed unscientifically and it is still accepting waste beyond its installed capacity. But the real purpose of the protest was served. To get the people on to the streets and fight it out in higher courts. Our protest inspired the villagers in Doddaballapur to protest against a similar KCDC-like unit in their midst. And this has prompted the government to take the issue of garbage disposal much more seriously. Be the change you want to see. And in case you can’t, then you have no right to complain against the system. Because you are the system. ‘Like’ us on Facebook to stay updated on HSR Layout: https://www.facebook.com/ResidentsWatch

NEIGHBOURHOOD NEWS AGARA LAKE CLEANUP
Simplilearn did something great last month. It cleaned up the mini forest of Agara Lake. That’s what Corporate Social Responsibility is all about. We wish many more came up and ensured cleaner surroundings in and around HSR Layout. The Somasunderpalya Lake is one lake waiting to be revived. And Agara Lake needs Rs 16 crore to revive it.
BOREWELL DIGGING
If you are upset with people sinking borewells in your vicinity in the wee hours of the day or late at night, you can call the cops. Another option is to go and tell them to stop. Borewell digging should only be allowed from 9am to 6pm. “It is being enforced in RMV Layout, so why not HSR?” asks Sector 2 resident Girish Reddy.
BBMP PARKING LOT
Seriously, the BBMP needs to make a depot for all garbage trucks to park. But then, most trucks are private. So no depot. Right now, there are a number of garbage trucks parked almost every night on 17th Main leading towards Yellukunte School in Sector 3.
GARBAGE PROBLEM IN SECTOR 3?
Manju is the contractor responsible for garbage in Sector 3. If garbage is not picked-up for 2 to 3 days in your area, call him at 99861-79690.
AZIM PREMJI SHOPS IN HSR
Wipro chief Azim Premji was seen shopping at Planet Fashion on 27th Main. He even tried on a shirt and a
suit. He patiently waited his turn; none of the other shoppers in the store recognised him, except franchise store owner Rajesh Kumar who was bowled over by Premji’s humble presence.
TRAFFIC HELPLINE
If you find a traffic violation, the traffic police promises to rush to your rescue if you report the violation through their smartphone app by Janaagraha called Public Eye. Download it now. Since it has only just begun, expect responses to be slow. But soon, the police should catch up when more resources are at their command. Another method is to email the top cops: addlcptrafficbcp@gmail.com.

Wassup HSR? HSR CYCLE DAY
Last month, thanks to bad weather and indiscriminate road digging works, there was no Cycle Day. Hopefully, it should happen this month on Sunday, December 20th from 630am to 930am. The permanent venue every third Sunday of the month happens to be 18th Main, the service road of 19th Main opposite Aishwarya Supermarket. Be there and get fit.
HOW TO MAKE MONEY FROM GARBAGE
Sector 3 resident Shanthi Tummala had a workshop last month on garbage segregation, composting and gardening. Meaning, how to grow your own vegetables and stop eating pesticide-laded food items from the open market. “Coco peat with microbes is working wonders without the pain of stirring or stink,” she says. “If you don’t want to spend money on coco peat, there are options like buttermilk, cow dung slurry and panchagavya with dry leaves. Composting can be fun and satisfactory.” Apartment dwellers need to visit the other apartments that employ different composting techniques and choose the ones that work for them. There’s Daily Dump, Sudh Labh, Eco Bin, GreenTechLife and so on. If you would like to learn composting in lush surroundings, Shanthi’s team of volunteers conducts sessions every first Sunday of the month at Lalbagh (December 6th) and every third Sunday (December 30th) at Cubbon Park. It’s time you tackled the issue of garbage by
yourself. Either get a Sewage Treatment Plant up and running, dig a compost pit and process it or buy a compost bin for your individual homes and flats. The HSR Federation invited civic expert Ravichander to talk about the issue of garbage at Sector 1 park. And Shanthi is planning to invite Vani Murthy who recently gave a Tedx talk on garbage, segregation and composting. “Composting is easy. Once you get into the habit of it, you will never throw away any of your wet waste. And dry waste will be sold and recycled,” says Sector 2 resident Shashidhara K.
RESTAURANTS SHOULD ADOPT COMPOSTING
“The best microbes are in curds. It can do wonders and stops even the smell,” says national award-winning scientist and Sector 2 resident RS Hiremath. “The bacillus in the curds colonise and do their job.” He is talking to small eateries to have a cooperative composting unit and a farm to grow their own vegetables from their food waste. “For an organisation called ACTS, we produced electricity from their food waste and powered their campus lights.” If we make all big hotels to have in-house composting machines, much of the garbage problem can be solved. Dr Jayamma of Sector 3 suggests taking the help of ragpickers for segregation, collection and recycling plastics, paper and wood. “Each house can pay the minimum towards the service,” she said. “It is already being done,” said Hiremath. “There is a group of 300 guys from Bangladesh who are clearing a huge quantity of garbage on small three-wheelers and excellently recycling it. The ITC runs a 500-crore business on waste collection (paper and paper products) and converting it to craft paper.” Another resident Balasubramaniam had his experience to share: “When I tried kamba for processing my kitchen waste, 80% of the garbage flow outside my home was reduced. And it takes max 10 min per day plus Rs 1200 one time investment for a family of 4 and you maintain kamba at negligible cost. Arathi of Sector 2 had the last word: “If each one of us spend a few minutes to segregate and compost our waste, garbage composting and processing units like KCDC will not have any work and will automatically shut down.”

T
he KCDC protest organised by Residents Watch and KHHSP RWA on October 31 was a historical success. The purpose of the protest was to get the people out on to the streets and protest for their ‘right to breathe’. The purpose was also to collect Rs 5 lakh donations from them to fight it at the National Green Tribunal in Delhi. However, a day before the protest, MLA Satish Reddy offered to fund it. On D Day, no funds were accepted, but over 1000 signatures were collected from people visiting the protest site adjacent to Somasunderpalya Lake. Many residents even uploaded 17 videos describing their experiences (https:// tinyurl.com/podktrf). A dedicated page was created to make people more aware of the issue (https://tinyurl.com/

q9rgtkq). However, a permanent solution to the problem is still way ahead. This was expected as the real issue can only be resolved in the higher courts. Thanks to the garbage truck mafia, the issue of the KCDC stench continues till this day. One good positive move though is that four garbage trucks from the Bommanahalli ward are being sent to the KCDC every day unlike before when none went from this ward. A spinoff of this protest was the protest by Doddaballapur residents against the smell caused by another garbage processing plant. It was a similar case of taking garbage beyond its capacity. The result of this is that the government is forced to look for alternatives when the easiest bet is decentralisation. Have compost pits in every ward and ensure proper maintenance with zero smell like it’s happening in Avalahalli off Kanakpura Road. They not only engage in door-to-door garbage segregation but also in processing wet waste into high quality manure. Win-win both ways.

Glass World enthralls with its affordable collection By our feature writer
S
pread over 3500 square feet with 2750 of wooden flooring, Glass World is truly an affordable oasis of luxury you could do with in HSR Layout. Opened a year ago by MLA Satish Reddy, the store is run by Arun Garg (54), a veteran in the glass manufacturing industry. Garg is from Suhag Nagar in Ferozabad, Uttar Pradesh. It is the only place in the world where hand-cutting is done on glass. And it’s precisely this work that is on sale here in HSR Layout.
18| December 2015
Step inside this spacious showroom and you will find the rarest of rare items like gold and platinum plated glasses with hand-made cutting. There are photo frames engraved with 22 carat gold designs. Not to mention, over 500 varieties of vases that are only available in Italy, Czechoslovakia, France and Germany, among others. Their crockery section has over 300 designs and every one of them is hand-made – they have just one piece of each. The most unique is their Japanese creations - comparatively less breakable than the others.

The lighting equipment runs the whole gamut of Indian, Chinese, Italian, Japanese and Belgium creations. They have LED display lights in the most imaginative avatars and one of their chandeliers even has an mp3 player. There are glass chandeliers for anything between Rs 3,500 and Rs 9 lakh. Their seep chandeliers are unique. The LED chandeliers are a new trend because they consume less power. If you shop for LED bulbs and tubelights before January 15, 2016, you will get 25-30% discount on their entire range. Their vases deserve a place in every home. Not to mention, Turkish carpets (Rs 1000-18000) ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
and bathroom ware (soap dispensers, toothbrush stands, shower curtains, shower mats). It’s a showroom that suits all pockets. For a little over Rs 95, you could buy a basic glass set. And if you have money to burn, the sky is the limit. Operating under their business entity, Ansul Enterprises, Glass World is their first retail outing. And they plan to open seven more in Bangalore within the next two years. Their next retail outlet could either be on Sarjapur Road or Electronics City. The next time you want to home in on all things home dÊcor, you know where to head. December 2015 |19

‘It’s time we adopted rainwater harvesting and solar power’ Sector 6 resident MG Mulakur on sustainability and naturopathy
By Zahid H Javali
M The solar panels should face the south for maximum solar power production. But we placed it in the north and got 5% less sunlight. That was a mistake others can learn from.
22| December 2015
G Mulakur (62) is one of the first few people to install rainwater harvesting system and solar panels at the same time in HSR Layout. Not only is he self sufficient in electricity, but also supplies excess power to the state power grid for use elsewhere. If everyone adopts this, much of the power crisis can be alleviated. He is also heavily into naturopathy. Here are a few extracts from an interview with him… RAINWATER HARVESTING Four months ago, I invested Rs 10,000 on rainwater harvesting and Rs 5 lakh on generating 5 KWp where 4KWp goes to the power grid. Today, I am independent of Bescom and only 50% dependent on Cauvery water. I use the rainwater for drinking. We have an 8000 litre storage capacity. We plan to build another sump in six months to increase the capacity. SOLAR POWER Through a third party contractor, we built the metal roof for about Rs 75,000 on a 20x30 feet space. There are 20 solar panels placed on metal sheets that are 6x4 feet. We still have some space for an additional 1 KWp; but not planned anything about it right now. My investment on solar could reach break-even in 10-15 years. I opted for it because I wanted to become independent of electricity and not rely on ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout

Bescom. When I went to a European country, I saw people keeping cars in their basement and solar panels on their roof tops. I got inspired by them. LEARNINGS The solar panels should face the south for maximum solar power production. But we placed it in the north and got 5% less sunlight. That was a mistake. We employed an engineer certified by Bescom to install solar power. We paid Rs 2 lakh advance and the rest in two installments. The solar equipment have to be from a government-approved supplier, like metre and inverter. I didn’t buy the inverter, but with frequent power cuts recently, I am planning to buy one. Since I use less than 1KWp, the inverter will cost me about Rs 25,000. That should keep four lights working for four hours. NO MAJOR CONSUMERS We use less than 200 units every month and our monthly bill earlier was just Rs 300-400. We don’t have a heater, fridge or washing machine. We practice naturopathy and therefore take only cold water baths. A hotwater bath is never good because it lowers your immunity and makes you lazy. Studies have even shown people having epilepsy attacks because of hotwater. Cold water baths make you resistant, which is why when my grand kids turned 3 months old, I started giving them cold water baths. Now, they have no cold, nothing. They are healthy. NATUROPATHY I must have taken 50 classes on naturopathy at Vidhana Soudha. Thousands of people have become their own doctors in this 21-days course of one hour a day. We have an exam centre for a diploma course in Naturopathy from Nagaland University. We established District Naturopathy Parishad in Mysore and Chamarajnagar. Thousands of persons have become self sufficient in their health issues. Some of my students have become famous Naturopathy practitioners like Poojya Basavananda Swamiji (Upavasa Swamy) from Dharwad. He has treated and guided lakhs of people so far. Shyam, with an allopathic background, quit his practice to open a naturopathy clinic. Naturopathy promotes self medication without any ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
surgery. Those who were insulin dependent are now on tablets. And those on tablets have quit them to lead a normal life. We also promote ‘fireless cooking’ and conduct camps often in HSR Layout and elsewhere. We even had an All India Naturopathy conference in 1998 and 2010. We also promote oil-less cooking and chilli-less cooking by saying that food can be used as medicine.

DID YOU KNOW? Exactly a century ago, an engineer of the British government discovered an Iron Age megalithic site near Bellandur tank. When Mysore State Archaeology Department excavated the site in 1916, they discovered a burial ground where the dead were buried with utensils such as pots and iron implements — a practice similar to that known from the Pyramid culture of Egypt. During this ancient period, the area was known as Veppur Nadu or Bempuru Nadu, which included many villages such as Begur, Ibbalur, Jakkasandra and Bellandur.

Know your health
‘Dengue and chikungunya can easily be eradicated’
Entomologist Dr KT Babu says science has the answer to every problem, including landfills
By Zahid H Javali
FAST FACTS • Dr KT Babu • Entomologist and cell specialist • Consultant for nicotine and alcohol at Victoria and St Johns hospital • Has worked as a scientist in Korea, Japan and China • Phone: 90369-00674 • Email: greatguns2013@ gmail.com
32| December 2015
D
r K Thiyagarajan Babu Shetty (49) is a resident of HSR Sector 1. An entomologist and scientist for 22 years, his latest invention is an anti-carbon dioxide 6-metre double layered ACMC door curtain to ward off mosquitoes. Fix this double curtain at your front and back door and you are free from mosquitoes, both during the day and at night. And it’s low cost tech. Here is what he has to say on all things science. ON DENGUE AND CHIKUNGUNYA The BBMP has no entomologists; all are zoologists. They spend crores of rupees every year on disinfectants in Bangalore. But there is no need to spray everywhere. I have identified potential areas and submitted my project report to the BBMP, but no action has been taken yet. You only need Rs 50000 to Rs 1 lakh. In Bangalore, much of the problems are in KR Market and Shivajinagar. Similarly, in HSR Layout, it’s around the SBI area on 27th Main Road. We just have to focus on those areas and eradicate the mosquitoes. The ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
TO ADVERTISE, CALL 98805-85748
mosquito season is twice a year: February and September. Start disinfection from Jan and you will find no mosquitoes in February. For the second season, do it in July and Aug. In HSR, we can eradicate mosquitoes in 2-3 years. I can conduct a survey of breeding areas in the neighbourhood and disinfect them before the mosquito breeding season. And it will cost you less than Rs 25,000 every year. PLACES TO AVOID Avoid going to places like Shivajinagar, KR Market and Richmond Circle near the corporation. Avoid localities where water stagnation is more like the area between State Bank of India on HSR 27th Main and Bescom power station. SAFETY TIPS • Keep the wash basins, bathrooms and toilets very clean. These are the hiding places for mosquitoes to lay their eggs. • Cut lemon by half and keep 5-6 fried cloves in it. You can keep this anywhere inside your house to repel mosquitoes. • Keep two mosquito coils outside your house, on both sides of your door entrance. • Avoid water stagnation in and around the house. Regularly check the drains around your house. Don’t water your gardens too much. • Apply bleaching powder wherever there is water stagnation. EVERYTHING IS BIO-DEGRADABLE There are pathogens that eat plastic, metal, glass, paper, polythene, petrol and diesel, among other things. Why do you want landfills? I can process three tonnes of waste in a borewell-like truck and turn it into manure on one end and gardening water on the other. How can an elephant digest big blocks of wood? It has bacteria that breaks down 1 tonnes of wood within 24 hours. The same goes for tigers and lions. We suffer from indigestion because we lack good bacteria. People take 10-15 supplements every day abroad, because their food doesn’t have it. You also need to take 10-15 vitamins every day if you want to remain normal. These give ResidentsWATCH - HSR Layout
Our politicians and bureaucrats are scientifically illiterate and are only after money. If they listen to scientists like me, dengue, chikungunya and landfills can be eradicated. the extra electrons and balance your bodily system. If you can cure a cell, you can cure any disease. GENERAL HEALTH TIPS * Rigorous exercise is not required for good health, because oxygen is both a healer and a killer. Just do enough to refresh your body, but nothing rigorous. * Don’t eat according to time. Eat whenever you feel hungry. If your body is starved, your brain triggers you to eat anyway. • Take amino acid supplements containing Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan and Valine after consulting your doctor. Vitamins B6 and B12 are largely found in non vegetarian food. So vegetarians have to go in for supplements to ward off ailments like diabetes, BP and pancreatic failure, among other things. • The first sign that you are unhealthy is constipation. When you get it, become aware of your body, identify it or consult a doctor. If you wake up feeling tired in the morning, it could mean that you are deficient in vitamins and minerals. • Fruits are largely acidic. So eat fruits irregularly but consume leafy vegetables regularly because they are alkaline food. • Our body gets new cells every 42 days. That’s when you have to supplement your diet with vitamins and minerals. • There’s no such thing as good and bad cholesterol. Both fat and cholesterol are good for you. Our brain is made up of 90% cholesterol. When your brain shrinks due to lack of it, your thinking and metabolic activity is disturbed. December 2015|33
