From Hartford to Ho Chi Minh City, from Cairo to Copenhagen, Bangalore is known as a brand. But the idea of Bangalore extends beyond its wealth of software programming and BPO services. The city may now be a whiz kid of the world, but behind it looms the shadow of a brooding senior citizen who grew up amidst tree-lined avenues, conversations over 'by-two' coffee, and a passion for art as much as science and technology. Jayanth Kodkani, a senior journalist, has lived in Bangalore all his life, watching its many faces of change. He has written extensively on social and cultural topics, besides trying his hand at writing short stories and translating fiction into English. R. Edwin Sudhir is a journalist with an abiding interest in technology, sport and society and the way these impact each other. He lives in Bangalore. He sees, with some regret, how an old, understated town-city is gradually giving way to a new, brash wannabe-metropolis.
