There can be no doubt about the fact that Bangalore has changed a lot from what it once was. With the high tech boom, India's Silicon Valley has grown rapidly. The technology fever has brought development to the Garden City as also traffic, pollution and infrastructural problems. Bangalore has not merely boomed in size. With the arrival of new companies and new people, a lot has changed in terms of the city's culture and outlook.
People are busy now.
While technology companies prosper, many Bangalore residents are struggling to maintain the city's charm. More than four centuries ago, the monarch, Kempe Gowda, tried to control the city's growth building four towers to mark the eventual boundaries in Bangalore, but his efforts were in vain. The towers were overtaken shortly. Bangalore's residents miss the space and the tranquility of the old times while the city's administration is working towards transforming Bangalore into India's best city by 2004. We want to preserve our city as well.
