Odd ad this one
There is this odd ad for a new housing project on the front pge of today's The Hindu. The ad features an artist's impression of the construction, which is all of 20 floors, (see exact same picturehere ) with the copy "Do your part in making Bangalore a green place to live in"; "The property that comes with 87% greenery". Huh!? Pardon me, do any of you see 87% of greenery in that picture? If you do, I must have gone colourblind.

Point to Ponder
- What do you call a congenial, captivating, cosmopolitan confluence of software and shopping malls, electronics and environment friendliness, salubrious climate and cleanliness, modern outlook and old worldliness, precision engineering and pubs? You call it India's best city for business. It is also called Bangalore.
Opening lines of Business Today's survey on India's best cities for business, December 1998.
Does Bangalore resemble any of this today?
Thought for the Times
- "We neglect our cities at our peril. For, in neglecting them, we neglect the nation."
