Bangalore...

We had a quick one day pit stop in the Indian city of engineering: Bangalore.

Wow! What a shock and disappointment!

It is funny because back on Hampi we had met three young students from Bangalore, to whom we had asked a few tips/suggestions about places to see and things to do for a day in Bangalore. All three of them were absolutely clueless as to what to suggest to us. All they could tell us was that there was nothing to see or do in Bangalore....and well, we spent the whole day walking around and taking buses to get a glimpse of the city, could only confirm what the three students had told us.

Our impression though, is that by far, Bangalore is the dirtiest city we both had seen in India. Surprising that for a city of engineers, no one has yet invested any resources or brain power to tackle this issue.

Very glad to leave Bangalore when we did.

(For myself, I still have to follow up with a friend of Roop who had king offered !e to volunteer with his microfinance organization in Bangalore.)
