Bangalore Vs Rest of India

After a long time, I was able to put this on my blog. I found it very very interesting. Actually every city has its nuances. I think if someone can put this up for Bombay and other metros, it would be fun. This one is quite true for Bangalore. A bit dated as the city is also facing the heat because of slowdown.
