apologies for the long gap in posting. was in powerpoint-land for a few weeks. that’s over now, it’s back to execution.
returned from the US last night. a year or so after relocating to the US, i got a new perspective on the country i lived in for the last 14 years. here’s what i wish i had in bangalore – in a true product-manager fashion, organized into a bulleted list.
- lungful of fresh air
- quiet when you need it
- warm bagel with butter spread, starbucks to go with it
- shopping without the attendant stalking you
- gliding through the road in my ford expedition
- latest gadgets and tech – hot off the press, as it happens. why don’t damn netflix allow me to access their download service from india?
most of all, i miss the horizontal visibility – in bay area, you get to see a good 50-60 yards distance from anywhere. office, road, home, you name it. you actually get to see the sunset over the horizon on your drive home. you see a good mile down the road. you see the other end of the park. here in bangalore, you see gazillion people, buildings, an impending accident, an ugly pile of junk, a big hoarding.
quick – think of a time when you actually noticed something beyond about 50 ft?
