Pique Your Peeve
Cities do not seem to have a unified code of conduct for public behaviour. It’s not difficult to get away with any sort of errant behaviour. Jumping the traffic light? Er... It’s not only me! Spewing out saliva, Titanic style? Not new to us either. Dumping garbage in your neighbour’s garden? Approaching hoodlums for a black ticket at the
cinema hall? And … the ultimate passion….. letting your tongue loose for a juicy piece of gossip or to lash out invectives… our city has witnessed it all. Here your favourite personalities will disclose misdemeanour that piques their senses! You too can have your say.

Perky and vivacious, Swarnamalya’s sunshine smile gives way to a frown when she encounters insensitive civic behaviour. She discloses about the demeanor that irks her the most:
According to me, the greatest civic problem in our city today is noise pollution. It seems like a small issue but if you return from another country you realize the real magnitude of noise pollution. The main source seems to be blaring horns on the roads. People use horns even when it is not necessary. It is high time citizens decided to something about curbing the decibel levels, unless of course, we would like to groom a silent future generation with shattered eardrums!
