Thinking somewhere between B’lore and Mumbai
Welcome back!
At a time when all the states are trying to lure as much foreign investments as possible, the Bangalore riots indeed would have proven detrimental to the Bangalore’s efforts, atleast for a short time.An interesting article from Business Line on how Bangalore became what it is today….traces the history of the IT Capital of India to times when TI landed there.
Today happened to be another bad day in Mumbai. Another,’coz day before yesterday(Wednesday) there was a strike by all the restaurent owners, that made ppl like me end up not having a proper dinner.One grave mistake that I do every day is not going through the sleazy and third rate sheets of newsprint that come as the Times of India brand.They think they are smart enough to give Mumbai Mirror for free with TOI, so that “readership” of MM is atleast that of TOI.Cheap trick, but works.I get to see(not read) the same news, the same rape,molestations,robbery,credit card fraud,bad roads,dance bar stories in both the bundles(TOI and MM).They have a decent section called international..and a business page which gives you ET “samkshipt roop mein”(thats me talking Hindi:))
Mumbai Times, is trash….every day they have,”Ashmal, Akbar and Afzal” or “Natasha and Manisha”…or some names that you have never head of…whoz seeing whom…..who partied when…who met whom in which party…who is interestd in all these crap..I feelthis daily….but then “Somebody must be there reading this crap, else why should they print these stories”……Oh ya, digressed a lot from what I was trying to say,so end up knowing no local news…
Today morining, Dadar TT bus top..I saw no one there, I was wondering if I were late? After a couple of minutes, I found that BEST is striking today. So after Anti VAT strike by restaurent owners, what happened to the BEST employees??Same old issues, salary, increment etc…any HR managers listening???
So came to office by a cab:(
Now I know one thing, the strikes,bandh, hartal image of Kerala that has been created is jus bad publicity by the anti Kerala lobby….these things are everywhere….be in Blore or Mumbai….
Edited Later:Here is a must read for all those guys who say B’lore has lost, people are mad…
Wrote this in the morning, posting in the evening as Blogger was down…beat that!!!
PS:I have got 15300 pixels at Indian Million Dollar Page and I have given links to many blogs I know. All the grey pixels are owned by me!!!
I do not mind linking some of the pixels to blogs,orkut profiles etc (for free), but would like to rake in some good moolah by placing some company ads…anybody listening??

@BDosti
Just pissed , still loving…..
Boy, BEST strike continues…..
hey…another crap that mumbai offers is its local trains…though they do have their utility…but somehow…failed to impress me..specially after the experiences I had in my recent few visits. Only positive outcome was that I managed to scrape 3 posts for mah blog, outta my tirade with the mumbai locals;-)
yeah..TOI and it’s yellow journalism; i’m sick of it too but there are millions of people who read the trash with interest.the problem is, it’s a democracy-so anybody can publish anything they want but i’m sure there must be a way to stop such publications…waiting to find one
Oh I wouldnt completely agree. Kerala is particularly crazy wrt bandh and hartal [excluding extreme places like Bihar], that doesnt mean that the rest of our country isnt crazy. Its just that our state is relatively more paranoid wrt strikes and hartals
Mumbai has its share of other bigger problems, that Kerala as of now cannot fathom… IMHO
@Pooja
But the media gives enough publicity to the “hartal creators”….thats pumps in more blood into them….damn the media!
