Expect to see lots of notebook toting, well-dressed
confident young men and women on the streets of Bangalore,
particularly in the vicinity of its numerous pubs and restaurants.
Bangalore, residents will tell you, has schanged in the past
decade. One thing remains - ask a Bangalorean what they think
about their city, and the answer will be "the best in
the world". There will be some gripes about the quality
of air and crowded roads, but the pride is obvious.
Located in South India, Bangalore is not called the "air-conditioned
city" without reason. Flanked by hill ranges
on the east and west, the gentle breezes ensure the weather
is pleasant all year round. The capital of the state of Karnataka,
sometimes referred to as the "garden city", Bangalore
has recently acquired other aliases like the "Silicon
Valley of India" and fastest growing city in Asia".
The unique metro, though a small town at heart, is a mixture
of booking business and a racy lifestyle.
A business capital, some of the most prestigious
names in the IT (information technology) industry, Bangalore
is more than an active member of the dot-com boom sweeping
India, giving tough competition to Hyderabad for the title
of "IT capital of India". As a result of its cosmopolitan
nature, it attracts people from all over the globe.
The convention and conference organisers can choose from
a long list of excellent venues in Bangalore.
Bangalore stats:
Climate - One can visit the city anytime
of the year and enjoy the salubrious climate but it is advisable
to avoid the rainy season between July and September.
Getting there - The airport, primarily domestic,
is about 15 km from MG Road.
