'Bangalore Envy'

Trend-spotters have come up with a new phrase ‘Bangalore envy’ which they claim would shape people’s lives in the US in 2007. 'Bangalore envy', a now expression referring to movement of much of the world’s smart money to where many of the world’s smart people are, is one of the 10 new phrases that find place in Next Now — a book compiled by marketing guru Ira Matathia and trend-spotter Marian Salzman.

I read in the Times of India today, that Bangalore is the second city in the world after Shanghai, to be turned into a verb 'Bangalored', which stands for losing job or business after relocation.
India's Silicon Valley is emerging at a fast pace. Civic amenities are strained, yet influx continues unabated.

It is inspiriting to see our people in Bangalore, with their bright brains are causing unease in the US Corporate world.
