Majority of us have arrived in the hustle bustle of our careers and are wanting to make a buck, savor the little pleasures and move on. We have little time to learn the nuances of history of a place and even lesser to appreciate it. I too am a part of the problem, chances are you are too.<br />The core issue IMHO is not my apathy towards the culture of these cities. It is the fact that development needs to be centered around cities and large towns because of uncertainties of safety, security, transportation etc. in other smaller places. The other places are much cheaper to set up factories in, have cheaper labour costs, lower overheads and everything.. but we stick to cities as centers for development.. that is a major point of concern.. and a overhaul or trashing of industrial policy might be called for..<br />Second problem is the nature of careers we are in, the nature of the fast growing market which requires you to be updated, quite hard working and cut-throat.. giving us little time to pay attention to where we are.. most of us create a little world of our own and it would make superficial difference to us if we were in Bangalore or in Surat.. we have no connection or interest in the local aspects and do not feel like making it worth the while to travel all the way to Bangalore or Hyderabad or Ahmedabad by learning a bit about the place and the people.. I will leave this one to individual introspection as the reasons could be them or their careers..<br />Btw pensioners paradise is Bangalore, Pune is just another nice city now home to half of India's pubs.. :PRahulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16717246464999023711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302700606414729797.post-49701657640955156252010-04-20T14:51:09.825+05:302010-04-20T14:51:09.825+05:30@chu: ya, the next im in blore, i'll only spen...@chu: ya, the next im in blore, i'll only spend half my time in purple haze. we'll spend the rest in exploring the unexplored.<br /><br />@niks: thanks babai.

Charminar stands today as nothing more than a traffic island in Old City. No one even remembers what historic event it represented in past.

And I dont think you know about the really beautiful girls who throng my street during the utsavs. But sadly in my street also they ve started demolishing the old houses and building huge apartments. Even the temple doesnt seem to mind sacrificing heritage for utilization of the space above these small houses.
