Yesterday evening was good TV watching experience. Some good talent on American Idol (i've placed my bets!) and Sanjeev walking around at the Infosys campus in B'lore.
If you haven't seen it - you should. It's on Discover T&L - something NDTV good times are trying hard to imitate.
Anyways, so Bhaskar is roaming in the Infy campus and comes to this magnificent modern glass building where he is told that Dow Jones' market data is managed.
Bhaskaar goes on to say two things:
"When people think about India, the still think about Snake charmers and elephants..."
He's right - India has changed.
"....what they don't realize is that THIS is what India has become."
Sorry dude - that's what living in Hounslow does to you - you lose touch of what you really are. India is not like that glass walled Infy building you saw at B;lore. India is far from that. She's a spring lodged between mainstream politics and regionalism. She is trying to breathe and there are people who won't let her. Unfortunately for many of us, it's the country we live in and moving away from the metros - this become all too much apparent.
