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,

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.
