|  | Progress and innovation
I am sitting in an apartment in Bangalore India, typing this out with my thumbs on an OQO UMPC. Someone's pet parrot on the balcony is incesently chirping in the background and the constant sounds of traffic can be heard, including horns, which are used ad-nauseum, but understandably, considering roads marked with two lanes are utilised as four lane roads: the three wheel tuks, scooters, cars, buses and trucks all vying for space to get to their destination ahead of the crowd.
I took a walk down a side street yesterday. It's a fascinating mix of tiny shops selling groceries, SIM cards, medicine and misc. There was even a Vodafone branded store selling live chickens. Other buildings were a mix of dilapidated homes and well cared for apartments behind heavy iron gates. Most things are built in a makeshift way and I can't help but feel that this is partly because it's temporary: there is more progress and innovation to come. |
