Why are our cities suffering?

12/12/08 19:41 - mcadambi

My take on why local level governance in cities like Bangalore and Mumbai are suffering while thriving in cities like New Delhi and to a lesser extent, Chennai.

Any good city needs local governance. This means having a strong mayor council in place and using revenues generated by the city to a substantial extent for the city's needs.

Private Banks - How safe are our money

12/12/08 08:34 - Vasanth

I was surprised to see one of my bank account at HDFC bank which was 4,500 two years back has become only  Rs.175 without any transactions. I use Citibank for regular transaction (salary account). Same is with ICICI, which was my salary account bank 2 years back and which has become 100 rupees or so from 14,000.
