Bangalore Beckoning

After a stint in the US, we decided to move to India and chose Bangalore. This was the city we wanted to move few years back but somehow did not get to. Was excited to move to Bangalore and still am - but few things took us by surprise though we were prepared enough and had friends and heard a lot of the goods and bad.

Being the global captial of the offshored IT services world, it shows all over in the way the city has evolved - or rather the denizens of the city -- the city will hopefully evolve and grow the infrastructure which has not been able to keep pace with the growth in the IT services industry.

All over the city, people around seem to be all working for the IT industry. In areas like Whitefield and Electronics City, you can take a roll call of all major outsourcing companies and some large corporations who have chosen a captive out of Bangalore.
