No proper info on Gurgaon

Family called from Mumbai and asked for me to purchase Gurgaon’s special dish – I did not know Gurgaon was famous for dhodha till I got the call. I had to make a trip to old Gurgaon for that. I just realised, while driving back from sadar bazaar. Gurgaon does not have a proper guide on the city at all. I know I can google and find some stuff here and there under various gurgaonxxxxx.com sites. Incidentally I read some article about coming to Gurgaon on gurgaon.com - http://www.gurgaon.com/content/?p=286 –  it seems to have been written for tourists visiting Gurgaon more than for people who live here. Can you believe it that I did not know that Gurgaon was famous for dhodha. Let me try you further. Did you know that Gurgaon has a bird sanctuary? Got you. Didn’t I? About time someone made a site on Gurgaon ,a good one.

Gurgaon residents unite to fight inaction

Gurgaon’s RWAs and other ciizen bodies have united to fight the inaction of the government bodies. Gurgaon has had a spate of bad roads, water, power and law and order issues.

Hoping in Gurgaon

This is government bashing time, all over India – corruption, ineptness, no security, politicisation… At Gurgaon, it has been government bashing time for a few months, now – no roads, no water, no electricity, no security… Things have not changed much at Gurgaon. I hope things are different in the former case.

There was a time when Gurgaon was the apple’s eye of people. People were flocking it for investing their hard earned money and lakhs migrated to Gurgaon to live a peaceful, cleaner and traffic free life. What happened along the way is that the people who ran Gurgaon, has myopic vision or did not care. On the one side the Gurgaon administration did not care or think about basic things like water, power and roads for one of the fastest growing cities in India and on the other we have some hopefuls with a citizens’ wish list ( ai am one of them, though )

I suppose it is hope that keeps us all alive. Here is hoping that we have more than that to live for …in Gurgaon and in India
