Stumbled upon DesiPundit, a great site for quick news related to India. One of the more recent posts were about Bangalore’s bag of woes and it really looks like the situation is getting really out of hand.

Kamala’s blog rants about the infrastructure problems and of course we know of Azim Premji declaring Bangalore a national calamity and threatening to pull out of there if things didn’t improve.

Some tech bigwigs decided to pull out of BangaloreIT.com (or BangaloreIT.in as it is called now). Seems like a lot of the companies are p-eed off at the promises that were made to them and have not been fulfilled. Damn those politicians - so typical of them to say something to push things out for a while. I am sure that now that a ruckus has been created again, they will come up with some strange 2-year plan and hope that the companies will forget about it.

But the Silicon Valley of India needs to really wake up because it is not only the city’s pride at stake, but the entire country’s reputation of providing a great place to work that is being threatened.

Buckle up, Bangalore. Improve now or regret forever. The China threat is looming and the one place that India does not need to give in to overdevelopment and underplanning is your city. Stand up!!
