The above slogan was stolen from some Slashdot (I think that's where
I saw it) article on outsourcing to India. It sounds just
about right -- many tech jobs have been outsourced to
India, and Bangalore is one of the hotspots for the Indian IT boom (check
out the Yahoo building below). Satish mamaji (one of mom's
brothers) and his family live in
Bangalore and were wonderful hosts during our visit. We
also went on a little trip around the south with Nikhil
(Puneet's cousin) and mamaji (see next few blogs for details).
Some shots
taken around Mamaji's place.
The picture above is as follows (from left to right): in the back are Mamaji
and Nikhil. In the front are
Neha, Daria, Meera Mamiji, Meena
and Valentina. Mamaji has a beautiful
garden, which made for a nice
picture spot. The cute, harmless
geckos shown above are quite
common in Indian homes and
are called chipkali in
Hindi.
Other things seen in Bangalore.
