Is Bangalore changing moving growing -inspite of rains

It's over a week and I have not seen the bright sun for longer than few minutes 

Every evening is a wet evening 

Socialising travels and meetings have been affected 

Ola is a saviour in such weather as these drivers do listen to your call for help to pick up drop and smile at the end of the drop or pick up 

Watching TV is one way I sit snug in my sofa

Books also provide warmth during such weather 

Newspapers like TimesOf India have turned into sales pamphlets and supplements laced with sick  news that does not include any kind words for good happening in India 

Roads in Bangalore are now holes and humps , potholes and pits Two wheelers need to exercise caution on roads Speed of driving becomes a challenge in poorly managed traffic and bad roads and impatient drivers who don't follow any lane discipline 

In all this there is a ray of hope when you see enthusiasm in the youth to work earn do business and sell any product in phone online and in person calling at your doors at different times to disturb you 

Donation seekers have turned innovative providing gifts in return for cash 

Have you heard of Euroclean department of the govt of eureka Forbes ha ha I had to ask the caller again which department ?

The #ICICIbank has access to world class technology platform for its banking ,securities, insurance , housing and cards divisions however Ill qualified shabbily dressed individuals try selling you stuff - 

One sad feature they don't provide a single window support for your insurance and shares with currency or banking 

Each department or division is a different company that seeks details frequently to update your phone or street details and behave each company is on another planet that can't share information 

It takes weeks to update close or transfer information KYC is a pain for a customer 

#HDFCbank provides a whiff of fresh air when I had the pleasure of being supported by an officer who was pleasant and willing to correct my account details 

The sales man had even filled in my name wrongly - imagine changing name of account holder when the bank had erred in missing out the JPNagar phase in my address 

You can't find a Bangalore address without the apartment name or colony after the crosses and mains 

Courier companies work in silly unprofessional ways that I will share in another blog 

When the govt wishes the country be digitally savvy quite a few officers and colleagues at Banks work hard to make banking a painful experience in Bangalore 

Check the ATMs in JP nagar that run out of cash easily on week ends HDFC bank is the lone saviour with an ATM that is well fed and well maintained and has technology that works 

Life is rapidly changing and the banks and service organisations need to rapidly move ahead with intensive training for its staff and outsourced poorly paid and dressed sales guys who make the technology silly with poor inputs 

Rains or no rains Bangalore is moving in its growth pattern poor services and roads with good Intensions of few officials in govt and organisations 

I am experiencing new things over the last one year I been here in India 

Happy anniversary to my one year in Bangalore India 

I know my country is moving though slowly
