Way to go Bangalore
by Preeti Vikram on Sep 25, 2007 08:48 PM

Alas!!My favourite city Bangalore is dying. I still remember my younger days when I lived and studied in Bangalore with my home in Basavangudi. I used to walk to my school and college on the Ramakrishna Mission road. Those days we never had to use a motor vehicles since the air was very clean and pure and we breathed fresh air.Bangloreans preffered to walk OR cycling.Bangalore everywhere was a clean and green city and envy of other cities.

BLR has been spoilt totally by the IT industry. BLR had big manufacturing industries but there was never any pollution since the big industries had their own transport system and people seldom used their own vehicles.Nowadays it is an insult to travel by public transport OR company buses and staff travel in their own vehicles.This has added to vehicular pollution.

I also remember the drive from Hosur to Bangalore where we used to visit our relatives.It was a beautiful drive.

Als!! I weep for Banglore.My heart bleeds whenever I visit them during it India visits.

With the present set of city planners, I do not see much hope for BLR.God bless BLR and its citizens OR should I say netizens.
