IT Gardens

Hi to all those guys who frequented my blog( I know there arent many). Anyway it s good to be back............leaving behind all the crap that I was through for last 6 months.
In this post I will write about my new home the garden city. Yah guys I am at present in Bangalore the IT capital of India. I still remember my 1st visit here in 1994. I was in 4th then and Infosys & Wipro were just glitters in the eyes of Narayan Murthy & Premji. So was Bangalore, then a favorite domestic holiday location(there were no foriegn tourists then in India). Bangalore was famous for its gorgeous climate then, a gift bestowed uniquely to it by the altitude and surprisingly the by the absence of the great nuetralising agent: the sea. But exactly this was its boon too. Absence of sea made bangalore humidity free & pleasent through out the year. So everybody visiting the rich heritage architecture of Mysore visited B'lore for its pleasentness & cheap goods. Once the favoured locations in Bangalore were the Lal Bagh and Tipu's palace but now they are Forum and Garuda malls. The paradigm shift is not shocking the culture of banglore have chaged a lot in last 10 years. No wonder it is no longer the Air conditioned city..........it now the IT city, the beautiful gardens are long gone and have been replaced by dirty streets and concrete grooves.........now people working in busy bangalore go to hill stations nearby in the weekends.What an Irony ???????
