Bangalore has some inherent advantages in the field of Information and Technology having moved early on the path of speedy progress. Until others could recognize the potential of the IT sector Bangalore was already miles ahead. This makes it an obvious priority for any entrepreneur wanting to make it big in the field of IT.

I have no clues about the bearings of the political state on the IT sector both in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. But when I hear all such things happening as very important persons visiting Bangalore from around the world and delegates from all over the globe have the name of Bangalore in their itinerary whenever they are to pay a visit to India. All such things give clear indications to everyone including me as to where the city stands today in terms of reputation vis-a vis the IT sector.

But to sustain all these things in the future as well, Bangalore needs to refurbish itself. It needs to give special focus to airports. See flying today is no more a luxury which is why good airports have become a necessity. For these simple reasons you need to have very good airports as part of essential infrastructure.

Hyderabad is doing very well, no second thoughts about that. But to say that it is going to write off Bangalore in near future sounds something fancy. The pace at which things happened in Bangalore is something which does not happen in other second city.

Whatever the restraints which the city of Bangalore has as challenges in the present times could be done away with an active participation of the dwellers of Bangalore. Unless the common citizens rise against the ills of the city nothing much could really happen. Moreover the authorities on their part need to shed their complacency and show more accountability and responsibility to restore the faith and general goodwill of the people.
