Well being born and brought up in this city and seeing the city grow before my eyes sometimes makes me feel good and creates a satisfication in me for being with the city to make a life out of it. Bangalore has becoming a most happening place in India and earned a name for itself on the world map. Bangalore also called the ''Garden City of India'' and ''Silicon Valley of India'' is fast becoming a futuristic city, a technological city, a city with difference.
In recent times Bangalore has created a flutter in the IT industry with its contribution to the exports kitty. I would like to mention a place or two where IT is happening and is visitable on Weekdays to the public and as and when things keep happen I will add on to this review to make you know all what is happening in Bangalore.
The first place to be mentioned which has assumed importance is The International Tech Park - ITPL is a place which has 57 companies occupying the premises. The building is one of the first of its kind in the country, its imposing structure is a befitting testimony to the fact the city is changing with the technology. Tourist visiting the city had quite an itinerary of places to visit and once such place is Whitefield, a suburb of Bangalore more famours for its Satya Sai Baba Ashram, where people flock in hundreds on every weekend. However, in the recent times, Whitefield has got for itself Crown in the Jewel which is making it's presence felt in the IT industry of India and that is International Tech Park. Ask any locals at Park and you'd probably get a blank stare, and asked him where is the ''Singapore Park'' and they would be delighted to tell you where it is.
Another place which made to the news all over the world in recent times if Infosys City, which is an kingdom of its own. Infosys which has made a IT World sit and watch has built for itself a workplace on the grounds of solid foundation of technolgy. The city built in an area of 45 acres is mostly probably the best in the city. The architecture of the buildings in the campus has is magnificent, you would be able to see most of the building from outside, I made a visit to the campus as an client. I don't think any public would be allowed in the premises. If Infosys decides to allow the visitors on Sunday or so, then there won't be anything better than that for the company which has been already a India's pride and Jewel in the Crown for Karnataka State.
And finally this being a review place for visitors I would like to make a purposeful contribution which would help all, which in process I would like to mentioned some of the other visiting place for the other common people too and here there are...
