"We
are a lot more connected to Bangalore than people realize. If
you lose your luggage on British Airways or Swissair, the person
who answers the phone to track it down is in Bangalore. If you
have got a problem with your Dell computer, the person on the
other end of the phone you’re talking to is an Indian in
Bangalore." |

| "Bangalore
is intellectually vibrant, a multitude of institutions of higher
learning and research providing homes for scientists and other
specialists in a variety of fields. A perusal of the lists of
seminars, talks, discussions, plays, musical and other performances,
exhibitions and religious events in the daily newspapers, will
provide the curious reader with an idea of the city's deep interest
in cultural and intellectual aspects of life." |
