Bangalore To Hyderabad - A Tale of 2 Cities

Alrighty then, with due apologies to the Pet Detective. I had blogged about a similar topic on my personal blog, but I digress.
To those not in the know, Bangalore had until recently been known as the Silicon Valley, Tech city, blah blah, of India for a long time. The city of Hyderabad is now upping the ante.

So without further ado, Ladies and Gentlemen(drum roll please), I present
In this corner the reigning Tech City of India, weighing in at 500 pounds of flab, BANGALORE! (Cheers, catcalls, boos etc.)
And in this corner the challenger, weighing in at a lean 250 pounds(some muscle, some flab), HYDERABAD! (Lot of cheers primarily from authors on this blog)
And thus it begins. A lot of hits from the smaller challenger to the reigning champion, but he’ s unable to penetrate that extra layer of blubber. The champion indulges the young kid on the block by taking the time to pick his teeth, but there are lines of worry on his forehead.
What’s this? The challenger having been rendered ineffectual, now pulls out his trump card(pls. excuse the mixed metaphor), his ace, his haymaker if you will, and it is……yes, Fab City!!!!
It works. The champion reels, groans and I can see he has been deeply hurt.

To cut a long story short, Hyderabad is growing fast and contrary to Bangalore, the infrastructure of the city is more or less keeping in pace with the development. City authorities are hungry for foreign investment and this can be seen by the sky rocketing real estate rates.
But what does it mean for a person who has lived in both the cities? More on that in a later post.
