Finally...

It all boils down to where you take your body for an outing. On a hot sunny day, you tend to harbour thoughts of spending the evening near a water body. And in some landlocked cities like ours, the lake is mostly the best option to get out of the concrete jungle. Now, that's an option one can think of without heading to the nearest sea shore. Isn't it. Well, that's the kind of feeling you get when you have spent a few hours near the lake, your probing eyes well set on the rowing competitors. You let your eyes wander, while your mind goes surfing.

The Future

Transformation

Transformation beckons every Bangalore street. So, this change on Church Street shouldn't have really made a big difference. Yet, the difference is stark. For someone who returns after a five year break from the City, Bangalore ought to shock him / her.

Its kind of sweeping, this consumerist overdrive. Brands, they are aplenty on this chic street, changing everyday with a new restaurant. With no Church in sight, the road is bound to be renamed Food Street soon. Or the Gourmet's drive. The change is that stark.

Indian railways is one of the world''s largest organisations. Reason enough, you would think, to upgrade itself consistently to standards closer to world class. But reality leaves you with a bad aftertaste.
One trip by any of the trains would convince anyone about the lack of innovation in its design, passenger comforts, technology and much more.
IR had decades to improve its image, and emerge as a truly world class service. In four decades, the interiors of the compartment has remained more or less unchanged, the cosmetic changes not giving any add on value. This is very apparently a critical reason for the way things are today.
