I am surprised at rediff's editorial staff for allowing any tom dick and harry to post articles. What are the credentials of mr Rishi to credit any city with best or worst tags. For that matter If I say a particular city is the best will it hold water? No way. So dear rediff editors please follow at least a semblance of editorial sense before posting any articles

Everything in the article was fine and I guess its the authors right to express himself.
I for instance... dint think favourably about beef and pork being off the menu... coz I dig them... but I respect his opinion.
However, in my opinion I wud prefer to see Secular and pluralistic Bangalore continue the way it has without the needless grafting in of religious begotism... and fundamentalism.
all said and done... the beauty of Bangalore is in its tolerance.
I for one am among the several boys of all communities who played cricket everyday on Bangalore's needlessly curfewed streets as the North burned courtesy the Babri Masjid demolition or the Mandal commission.

The Author is simply trying to post his opinion.I don't see anything wrong in the article above. In fact it is a well written, well balanced article.
As far as any tom-dick-harry writing for rediff is concerned, I urge you to write an article yourself and send it across to rediff.com. If its worthy enough, you will sure find it published.

I agree with aditya. To write an article a person need not have any credentials, if his thought is good and his writitng is clean anybody can wrtie and post articles. Thats why any news papers would publish common mans views and articles . Just becaus readers are biased they may not like the article, I dont see anything wrong in Girish's article.thanks rediff for publishing..

Mr. Bhagwat, TamilNadu and the rest of south are way ahead of the North. We know how developed North is. Instead of blaming a particular state or region, together we can make India a better place and to make India a better place we could do very well without such comments and without people with attitude like yours. People who were as chauvinistic and parochial as you are , were the ones who have been hampering India's growth.
Have you been to the Mahatma Gandhi Road in Bangalore. It is not any different from the Mahatma Gandhi Roads in Calcutta and Bombay. Same squalor, crowd, fith, uncleaned garbage, all the same. Take a taxi from Mahatma Gandhi Road Bangalore, you cannot miss a slum.
I suppose the author has seen only the latest parts of Bangalore, IFOSYS office etc, and nothing much else.
aajao...let us give the stupid Indians some divide and confuse pills. we don't have any websites of ours anyway.let us Invade the indian websites. lol rediff says thank you for the hits.we are getting more money from ads because of hits from karachi.

Anuji, why this Karachi phobi. Did any Karachiwala shove his up ur derrier?
Some crackpot who's written this. Probably he's been there for a while living in 5 stars and having a dinner with billionaires. Except for pleasant weather, Bangalore can only boast of shit. One of the most polluted cities in the country, zero infrastructure, honking vehicles, one hour 30 min to traverse 10 KM, like hell in rains, unclean, unhygienic food joints dime a dozen, people lifting dhotis and peeing on road side, cheats, pick pockets, overcharging looters in form of auto rickshaws, haggler cabbies, construction and jams everywhere. . . Don't know what the author found livable.
It was a garden city once - its godammed city now. So what if there are beautiful buildings, the Intels, the Ciscos, Wipros, Infosys and so on . .The average human being is SICK in the city.

What you have written is the story of any city or town in India.
May be the author has seen less of theses in Bangalore :-)
Even I lived in Bangalore for sometime. Except traffic, the city is fine.

Did you ever seen the bang Slems and the people behaviour? Racism, cheating and looting.....
No infrastructure impruement, No culture Traffic is not a big issue, that will become normal later, But people mentality.
But one think, I spend months in Bang in 1995, then 1998, then 2000 and then last 2005, I seen a lot of difference,

Yes kakoli... lets get Bangalore back t what it was before... let get U northies out???
Howzzat for a suggestion?? Sure...Bangalore was better without the northern influx and Bangalore can do without you.

Rightly said Kakoli, we I being a Bangalorean, admit to the fact that it is no longer a city to live in. It was indeed a pleasure 5 years back to have seen such a wonderful city now totally lost its charms.
I see people criticizing and making racism comments, well, why dont we stop complaning and think of getting back the lost glory of Bangalore. Your inputs would be really usable for the readers.

Mr, Baneerjee I hope its better than your Kolkotta !!!!!!!!
Bangalore was nice until the Tamils, Gultis and Mallus started coming in to join the useless Kannads. Only a sustained migration of people from the north can save Bangalore and restore it back to the glory of the olden days.

wat best to illustrate the northies ...in recent hundustan times leadership summit. Mayawati was given the topic ' North India is bring the countries progress down ' , she did not event turned to the summit to say on this.Well its a fact that north india is clustered with currupt netas, Gondas and NO culture. All so called educated Norties left or leave north india and settle in b'lore , chennai etc...Its time guys go back to ur place and make ur place a better place ( at least to talk abt).
