Rains lash city
Thundershowers, which decided to give my locality a miss, accompanied by gusty winds lashed the city last night bringing some much needed relief from the summer heat. 120 trees came down and roads were inundated with water throwing traffic into disarray and exposing the city's fragile infrastructure yet again. The rain also brought down some stalls at the ICE Exhibition at Palace Grounds. 300 people who were visting at that time had a close call.

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."
