Bangalore - the most lovable city in India

Bangalore or Bengaluru - no doubt whatsoever you say, the taste remains same. Bangalore, the IT-BT hub of India, still remains the hot-spot for job hunters and students. Every year, many people from other parts of India, specially from North East, move to this city with a untold dream - a dream for a better livelihood, a dream for a better professional career. As per latest population-based surveys, Bangalore is the third most populous city in India.

The question that might be asked by some people are: "why national and international corporate houses still prefer Bangalore as an investment hub?" - "why Bangalore still remains a preferred destination for Indian and international students?"

Answer is very simple. There are multiple reasons, such as: A. Good climate; B. Clean city (of-course, not like 10 years back; however, this still remains as one among the less polluted cities in India); C. Very gentle, helpful and friendly local people; D. Less crime or rather no crime compared to other tier-1 cities in India. E. Supportive measures taken up by the state government for creating special economic zones and IT-BT parks. F. A mix of serene South Indian Vedic environment and a cosmopolitan lifestyle. 

But......................

The recent sms or mms havoc had created a mistrust among the people of North-East and surprisingly it spread like an epidemic. I do not want to comment on who had started this or who should be held responsible for creating such a situation. But, we must admire the the way how Karnataka Government had handled the whole situation. This is really commendable that the state Dy. CM/home minister went to the railway station to appeal people from North East not to leave the city. Even the Karnataka government had sent a special delegation to Assam to bring the people back to Bangalore who had left the city with a fear to loose their lives. No state government in the recent past had taken up such prompt steps as a part of confidence building measure between two communities. This will remain as an example for other state governments.

Today, we people from North East can proudly say that we were part of building the Bangalore the way it is now and we will contribute the same way as we did before.

Love you Bengaluru..........
