Thought you would want to know that the WSJ has an article today about Bangalore and its computer industry. It is titled "Bangalore takes on tasks a world away" and talks about how a number of American companies are setting up shop in Bangalore. It is nice to see India get good press for a change.

Bisibelebaath bagge bareyuvaaga kopa, bejaaru idakkella avakaashave illa! 
Thinno vishayadalloo kopa, bejaaru maadkondre 'Mechchanaa Paramaathmanu'.

U made me feel homesick by writing about Sankraanthi eve at B'lore. Whether
it is Malleshawaram or Gandhi Bazar, it is the same. I enjoyed the different 
aspects of Sankraanthi as I grew up. 
When we were in school, I remember making sakkare acchu at home . 
Myself, my brother and sister used to put the sakkare paaka in to the achchina
mane. Anything is sufficient to fight - 'My peacock has come better, 
Your elephant's leg is broken YEEE,.....'.  Making brindavanam was really 
fun in sakkare acchhu. 

Till I was in 5th standard, all three of us used to go for 
'Ellu beeruvudu' . After some time when I realised that I am a boy and only 
girls are supposed to go, I had to stop. Only my sister was going for 
all that. but we had a nice time eating the incoming ellu and sakkare acchus. 
Kabbu andare , I remember my school days playing 'Meese ' with kabbu.
I hope some of U also have played it. 

Once the school days are over, these things become outdated. The only fun
was to walk in the busy streets of Gandhi Bazar with friends. That too on
the festive eve, It was beautiful with colourful skirts, froks, langa,
langa-daavani, seere,..... "Kannige Habba". We used to start from Tagore Circle,
go till almost Ramakrishnaashrama, come back in the same road and turn to
DVG Road and end up in Nettakallappa circle over a by2 halu. 
Unfortunately 'Upahara Darshini' was not there in those days.
I was telling amma-  
   "Ninagyaakamma thondare, Naane hogi hoovu, hannu ella thagondu bartheeni".  
  "Dinaa, edurugade shettara angadige hogo andare aagolla anthiddavanu, 
   ivatthu gandhibazarge hogthananthe!!" was the reply.

As U said, eve of an event is always more enjoyable than the event itself.

More postive press for Indian software...

For those of you who might be interested, the latest issue of Business Week -
January 18, 1993, has a full-page article on the growing software industry in
India. It is titled "Software from India? Yes, it is for real". 

It talks about the success of software packages from the companies like TCS,
and the growth of the domestic market. It is a fairly decent article although 
it is not as comprehensive as the articles that appeared in San Jose Mercury 
News last month.

Bzzzt. North Carolina. That one really pissed me off. The non-NYC portions

At a minimum, it would be realistic.

On the subject of movies, Has anyone seen "The Beer Drinkers Guide to
Fitness and Health"? It has nothing to do with beer drinking, fitness or
health, but is about the the trials and tribulations of a Saranac Lake
film maker trying to juggle the demands of producing "the great American
movie" and help to raise his family at the same time. A hilarious,
tongue-in-cheek movie. I saw it on video a few years back. Filmed entirely
on location in the 'Dacks.

   It is obvious that the forts appearing or referred to in the movie
   were close to Albany, but where exactly?  Is that where the movie
   was filmed, or did they film somewhere else?

I didn't see the movie, but did read to book (years ago). Fort William
Henry was at the southern tip of Lake George, Fort Ticonderoga (does anyone
know what Ticonderoga means?) at the southern end of Lake Champlain,
strategically situated on the main water access to Canada, hence it's
importance.

Perhaps the track is still in use but scheduled to be abandoned real soon
now (and they wanted to spend the $ while they could or something)

They have done this before.  I once lived a few miles from (allegedly)
the only grade level RR crossing of an interstate highway.  I-87 (the
Northway) just south of the Mohawk river bridge in Colonie.  The track was
almost never used when the Northway was built and scheduled to be abandoned
soon, so they made a grade level crossing.  BTW, the trains had right-of-way!

They've since removed the track and you can't tell it ever was there now.

I'm pretty sure that the last scenes, with the panoramic mountain
views, were shot in North Carolina:  there aren't too many views
like that left in the Eastern US north of the Mason-Dixon line that
haven't been raped by mining or speckled with houses and power plants.

Actually, the HOG is in its second Titus Ave. location.  It used to be on the
same side of the street as it is now, but in that little plaza directly
across from Cooper Rd., the same plaza as the Irondequoit Town Lounge.
 
And before Titus Ave. they were on the east side of Lake Ave. down
in Charlotte, about 1/4 mile north of the Stutson St. Bridge in a little
plaza that has (or used to have) a pizzaria in it.
But you'd have had to have been a teenager in the 60's to remember that
one.  I recall they leaned the guitars against nails pounded into a
horizontal 2x4 that ran around the sides of the little showroom.

You gotta be kidding. I've lived in both places. I think it depends on where
you're looking. Go poke around in kodak's back yard. You also evidently
haven't compared lakes Erie and Ontario. Although Erie got a bad rap in the
70's and got some notariety on SNL, that was mainly algae and plant growth
spurred by phosphates, which are now outlawed. The lake is exceptionally
clean and has at times passed EPA purity requirements for some communities
without ANY filtering or purification needed. Can't say that about Ontario.
Ontario's biggest problems are probably just the geographic fact that it's
down stream from chemical plants in in the city of Niagara Falls, which
is not Buffalo. I've heard the arguments though that Niagara Falls and
Rochester are just Buffalo suburbs, but that's another story...

Has anyone got any recommendations for decent wines from the Finger Lakes

Yowza!  I used to love the House of Guitars.  We used to make monthly
trips up from the University of Rochester.  Aren't the people who work
there the best?  I'd ask for a record and they'd end up making a
general announcement over the loudspeaker ("Anybody know if we have
Earl Garner By the Sea") and end up calling people from the front (the
music store part) to the back (the record part) to look for it.  If
you show up there with long hair and a leather jacket, people start
asking you questions because they think you work there :-).

In a related sideline, Schlitz is now being brewed in Canada (for Canadians),
rather than imported into Canada. One of it's selling points (I listen to a
Toronto station here in Bflo) is the higher alcohol content (6%). The ad says
something like (totally deadpan voice), "don't tell people from Milwaukee. You
wouldn't want to see them unloading from their buses in their white pants and
patent leather shoes... it's not a pretty sight."

I think it's hysterical 8-), but I'm not sure where the stereotype (if such 
a one exists) comes from.

Looking at Eastern Michigan University recently, I noticed that they have
in-state tuition for both Michigan and Ohio residents. It doesn't seem unlikely
that there would be such a reciprocal agreement. If the Long Islanders at SUNYA
suddenly had to start paying twice as much tuition, they might start looking
elsewhere.

I should check some numbers on this, but the Capital District is getting to be
quite a sprawl. It currently covers three counties (Albany, Schenectady,
Rensselaer), three major cities (Albany, Schenectady, Troy), the Town of
Colonie which seems to fill most of the gaps in between, and outlying areas
like Saratoga Springs (Saratoga county). You want highways; we've got highways;
three plus a spur and a loop (I-87,I-90,I-88,I-787,I-890). One major airport
currently undergoing renovations. A major rail hub (Boston-Chicago,NYC-Toronto,
NYC-Montreal). Okay, enough bragging. I would really like to see the boundaries
of what is considered the Capital District in ten years.
