Oh dear Bangalore

as usual on my tour of internet today, i found it hard to digest what rains have done to Bangalore city. peaceful and silent was the place during those wonderful days ( 5-7 years back ), with the boom in IT and education industry, Bangalore started attracting morons from all over india, which today is a disaster.

on my recent visit to bangalore i could not find a parking space for my two wheeler. the amount of people in the city have increased beyond imagination. Added to that is our very near and dear politician. what the fuck are they upto?? i dont understand the problem these bastards have with the IT industry, who have been begging the govt for better infrastructure.

but i suppose bangalore is still going ahead with IT.com, thanks to infosys and Mr Murthy. and this time FOSS.IN is big. they are expecting about five thousand odd participants. Alan Cox is one of key speakers, unfortunately i am gonna be missing it. the others are Jonathan Corbet,Andrew cowie, harald welte, jeremy zawodny,dave phillips....

these are some of the things that i found, i pity the garden city.....

Politicians including Governor T N Chaturvedi, Chief Minister N Dharam Singh and Mayor Narayana Swamy, made a beeline to the affected areas. After the inspection at the Silk Board Junction, where knee-deep water has accumulated, the bus carrying the chief minister did not start. It had to be pushed to some distance before it got on the wheels.
