I Can Spotfix! - @Raheja Residency, Koramangala.

Location - Raheja Residency, 3rd block, Koramangala

Here is another TUI inspired spotfix. 
75 residents of all ages come together to clean up their surroundings in Raheja residency, Koramangala.


The Inside Story from the Raheja Residency SpotFix (as provided by one of the fixers on Facebook):
1. Make a street map
2. Check with BBMP Waste Collector which houses don't give him waste
3. Observe thru the day who actually dumps and confirm waste collector info
4. Plan the Fix
5. Go house to house inviting all for the Fix (those who throw and those who dont) - even if they dont turn up, they know something... is a foot
6. Get construction and heavy debris cleared
7. Get masonry work done
8. Do the SpotFix
9. Go house to house and tell them not to throw waste but leave it for morning pick-up
10. Accompany morning pick-up, ring the bell and ask for waste
11. Keep doing till habit formed..work in progress yet..time will tell. but can be done





Update : Some residents come together again the following weekend to further improve on the previous spotfix. Take a look and hope this inspires you to do something similar in your neighborhood!

Spotfix 11 - Before and After (Spot Quiz 11)

Location - Opposite St Patrick's Complex (near Indiana Fast foods), and opposite the War Memorial Park / BMTC Bus Terminus at the end of Brigade Road.


This majestic rain tree opposite St Patrick's Complex (opposite the War Memorial park at the end of Brigade Road, Bangalore) has borne the brunt of its neighbours' poor civic sense for decades. Resigned to being a garbage dump, and braving the occasional fire & smoke from burning, this tree symbolises how our city has changed over the past 30 years

It needed a few Ugly Indians to restore respect and dignity to the tree. Magically, the garbage has stopped coming (those dumping here everyday took the trouble to dump at the official points), and this tree has been smiling now. And the nearby shopowners too, who tend to the new garden where once there were garbage & rats.


This is the only surviving rain tree from a large avenue of trees that lined the entrance to the 19th century St Patrick's Church and the World War I memorial. Surely, it deserves better. Till last week, it was a daily pick-up point on the route of the BBMP Garbage lorry- thankfully, the lorry doesn't need to stop here anymore. ~ TUI

Spotfix 1 - Before & After ( Spot Quiz 1 )

Location - The Spot is the Bowring Club wall on Lavelle Road, opp Desmond's. 

The original Spot. Has been like this for years.Notice the filthy wall, the unprotected tree base, and of course, the pile of garbage.

This was a really ugly wall. It hadn't been cleaned in recent memory and the tree a garbage dump for years.
Now after the TUI Spotfix, look at the Transfomation!

Doesn't that look nice!
