Satish Sridharan is a resident of the “IT Hub of India”, Bangalore. He has witnessed the growth and evolution of Bangalore from the mid 90s, when most of the roads were two-ways, traffic snarls were unheard of, when people wore sweaters during summer and most of the populace was native to Bangalore, to the current era where Bangalore has become synonymous with traffic snarls, accompanied by hot summers, with most of its greenery lost to industrialization and housing in order to accommodate the gradual influx of job aspirants from all over India.
