Bittoo: Bapu!
Bapu: Yes Bittoo.
Bittoo: I am getting disillusioned with the kind of works and their quality, going on under the ambitious Smart City Project. I doubt if our city will get desired facelift to look like a smart city indeed. The governments have committed but will it happen or remain a rosy picture Bapu?
Bapu: I don’t know Bittoo.
Bittoo: And, our city councilors are back home from their study tour to Shimla Bapu?
Bapu: Yes. They are deeply concerned towards development of their city.
Bittoo: So, they will transform Belagavi into Shimla Bapu?
Bapu: I don’t know Bittoo.
This is a citizen-centric new column, wherein the author(Bitto) is an ordinary, politically unaffiliated common man of the city who in his/her inimitable approach takes up various issues with the Bapu’s soul! Apparently, the interaction between them portrays ironies of sorts encountered by the common man and others in the city in a lighter vein. The author’s name will not be disclosed to the readers as he/she represents the common man of the society. This column aims at creating awareness and sensitising cross sections of our city on various issues of public concern only but in a lighter vein without holding any contempt against any institution or individual.
