Well, I just came back home after having dinner at Taco Bell. The food was good but they still have a long way to go. I think this is the first Taco Bell in India located in a brand new Mall called Mantri Greens in Bangalore.

And is this what you caused ?

Mall-eswaram rues its fate Bangalore, Mar 20, DHNS
Residents of Malleswaram, Seshadripuram and surrounding areas who once proud of the peace and tranquillity in their areas now rue their fate as they are caught in traffic snarls lasting up to three hours.

No thanks to two malls that opened recently, residents are finding it hard to reach homes as traffic comes to a standstill between 6 pm and 10 pm.

Chaotic scenes are witnessed as vehicles piles up on Margosa Road, MKK Road, Sampige Road, Velipuram junction and a few artillery roads in and around Sampige theatre and Malleswaram Circle, that leave even the traffic policemen exasperated. “The authorities issue licenses and clearances for big malls without thinking of the load that is placed on roads, making the residents suffer for no fault of theirs,” Ramakrishna of Seshadripuram 1st Main Road, complained to Deccan Herald.

The traffic chaos is complicated by the incoming vehicular flow from other areas, with Platform Road is usually choked and the Margosa Road not in a position to take the additional density of the traffic, said Ramakrishna.

Senior police officers are contemplating posting more traffic policemen in the affected area but residents find that solution laughable.

Ravi of Malleswaram 4th Main said barring the closure of both the malls, the only solution was widening Margosa Road.

I have been approached by a Popular Japanese Media company. They want to interview "Indian Silicon Valley professionals" who are about to leave the USA to pursue business and/or job opportunities in India. I hope just like everybody else they want to get to the bottom of "Reverse Brain Drain".

What do you guys think? Pl Let me know.

FYI: I was interviewed by a japanese newspaper sometime back in 2009 here in Bangalore.

Another Year passed by silently. So it is 5 years now since we R2I'ed..... which means 5 more years I will be planning for R2A......or should I?

(BTW: "Miller High Life" debuted in India today I had a bottle from the first batch. Felt Great. Can't wait until MGD comes to India)

pdev11, just a newbie here on this forum. In Canada/US for the past 22 years and hoping to make the move back "home". Many of your posts resonate with me; I would be writing similar things I think had I taken the plunge and returned. It is great to read your posts, keep up the good work. Wishing you all the best..
