You of course know about Bangalore, dont you?
Bangalore is the Silicon Valley of India, where all Indian software engineers come home to roost. It used to be a great little pensioner's paradise once, before they invented the PC. You could walk its tree lined avenues then while marvelling at the fresh cool air, and not worry about getting run over by aggresive drivers.
But the times have changed. Wealth has brought in a new lifestyle of glitzy malls, conspicuous consumption, latest cars and gadgets. It has brought in its own problems also in the wake: overcrowded streets, pollution, perpetual shortages of water, electricity, infrastructure. And a looming large social problem, that of great disparities in income.
Bangalore has its problems no doubt, but it remains a vibrant city. It also remains, like most of India, a place full of contradictions. yesterday's small town has given way to teeming metropolis, but deep in its heart, Bangalore is still looking for its old town soul.
