Journey
I was going home (Delhi) this holi by train and I had many apprehension of how I will be spending my 38 hours (which ultimately got extended by another 2 hrs) on the train with no one to accompany me. But all my apprehension were proved wrong once a spent my first few hours in the train.
I met people from the same background( Software engineers), who were going home on holi .They were also working in some or other company in Bangalore and earning there living from this city which had become synonymous to silicon valley of India. One person became a very good friend of mine during the journey and he had come from a small town near jaipur, Rajasthan. He came around the same time when I came to Bangalore. He had no job then. He slogged for 3 months and gave interview for some 10 odd companies and was ultimately selected. Some others also had similar stories to tell.
One person had come to Bangalore to enroll his son in a dental college. He was from a small town near Delhi. With IISc and other world class institute already here, Bangalore is not only a job hub but is soon becoming an education hub as well.
No wonder it has become one of the most important cities in India and henceforth is going to need a lot of attention form the government to allocate funds for improving its infrastructure and getting back its past glory.
