Too many things happening leading to tiredness

In the May blog (Transitioning India – a general public perspective) what I did not touch upon was whether the speed of transitioning is good or bad. Like in all such discussion there are people who will have their views good and bad. In this blog I give my perspective with reference to the place I live which is Bangalore.
Bangalore tires me out. Having lived in Bangalore for the last 35 years is sometimes called silicon city. God knows why it is called silicon city at best one may call it software city. The city reminds of World War 2 situation (I say this by seeing some war movies of World War 2 period) because of all the constructions- private, public, political, legal and illegal; Bangalore has a nice weather. It is a city where the opportunity to become asthmatic is very high. It has still some greenery left. It has the power of magic to transition lakes to ponds to barren land to areas of residence. It takes 1.5 hours to travel 20 kilometers. Working hours are from 8 am to 5.30 pm, means actually leaving home at 6.30 in the morning and returning at 8.30 pm. Welcome to the fast growing city of India and the quality of life you can possibly live.
