it seems that the last post was ages back.there seemed so much to share and tell that as it often happens in such cases that i did not do anything about it at all.meanwhile,there has been a change of place from madras to bangalore for the industrial training thats mandatory to earn the undergrad degree.the past few days in bangalore have been a bit like following a swinging pendulum.very interesting sometimes yet suddenly boring.

the best thing about bangalore so far was the more merciful summer as compared to its madras couterpart but looks like that particular luck is currently running out.the past few days have been hot.what strikes me so much about the city is its changing and delightfully mixed demography and a young population willing to spend and freak out rather than be good and save.a trend that must be sweet music to the ears for the many western brands and outlets who have always complained that the asians have a tendency to save for the future rather than spend and enjoy.

its sometimes interesting to observe the young guys and girls barely out of college walking briskly towards their office in the Diamond District(i stay very near that place) with an id card casually swung around their necks.they teem like an army -everywhere on the roads,in the shops,cafeterias,road side pani puri shops or in short wherever you go around here.sometimes i wonder for howmany of those young people its been a dream come true and for how many others a willingly made compromise.

whatever be the answer comprising the many contrapulations that come with the software industry,these youg people seem so different as compared to a generation before them and more confident and better equipped that you finally realise what immense power we talk of when we say 75% of the population of this nation are young.understandably most of them are a far cry from the sophisticated techie but then you cant help take pride at this new and young india.
