Thanks for the info. Very interesting stuff to know, especially your point about Bangalore being an expensive city.

  ", especially your point about Bangalore being an expensive city." I think I should have been clearer. As far as I know Bangalore is either the most expensive or second most expensive city In India. (reliable statistics are hard to come by). To clarify. Bangalore is expensive in terms of real estate / housing. I've been looking to buy a house and I was quoted close to 2000 $ per square foot for a good apartment ! Insane! Hotel rooms are booked months in advance and very expensive. Food /clothing etc is cheaper than in the USA , (though more expensive than almost anywhere else in India (excluding Bombay, perhaps). Traffic is a total snarl up at peak hours and power and water supplies are creaking (but holding up, barely, so far). The more urban parts of Bangalore have good internet connectivity (about35 $ a month for an always on , unlimited download connection). All that said, I wouldn't live anywhere else (in India). Bangalore is no Silicon Valley , but what genuine technical talent exists in India is right here (though submerged in the crowd of those who barely know how to write "hello world" , but get "Senior Architect" type jobs in the large outsourcing firms!!).
