Back..

from a 10 day Diwali vacation in Nagpur with no Diwali homework :) (back in school we used to get homework to be done during the holidays and I used to procrastinate it till the last day :)) Every time I go to Nagpur I can't help but rave about the roads there. It has about 5 times better roads than Bangalore and about 10 times less traffic. If you want to experience some driving pleasure this is the city to be. It hasn't been so rosy all along. There was time when the roads were an absolute nightmare but the last 4-5 years have really seen a lot of development..nice wide and smooth roads, good footpaths with trash bins at regular intervals, 2-3 flyovers over some busy roads, flower beds on some road sides..Recently PSPL has opened an office in Nagpur and it has succeeded in getting atleast 3 of my seniors to the city(they are about 80 odd strong there now). One left IBM ISL, one Sasken I think and one IBM IRL. Apart from that Nagpur now has a Westside, Pyramid, Big Bazaar and also a Cafe Coffee Day :) Real estate prices aren't low but are still reasonable..Megha's sister bought a duplex with 3 bedrooms for about 15-16 lacs. Probably a good time invest in some land there in anticipation of some more IT companies opening up.
