Roti,kapda, makhan was the slogan of grand old party in 70-80s. The salubrious city of Bangalore then transformed into a technology hub with PSUs like HAL,BEL,HMT, ISRO and Roti,kapda & makhan happened.  In the 90s when we made forays into software, the Founding President of NASSCOM Dewang Mehta added “bandwidth” to the slogan. The pensioner’s paradise became Silicon City. More roti, kapda and makhan happened.

When bandwidth became seriously fast and huge, we transformed to sillycon city. Bits in fiber blitz underground,  vehicles crawl overground, software knows more about you, not your neighbour. 

Every thing became seriously excess
Pushing the city to limits of distress
Sadly tis the price to rapid progress
But namma Bengaluru is about dreams and hope 
So don’t mope, yes, it maybe a bit of tightrope
As we ride up the slope creating a new envelope
But when it rains in Bangalore, becoming cool and lazy, aah it is heaven!
