What's on my Mind? - The book

This is an elegant book and my strong recommendation for every one to read it. as early as age 15. 

Contents of the book 1. Witnessing in the moment of choice 2. Dealing with Inner Enemies     Desire     Anger     Fear     Greed     Envy and Jealousy     Pride     Worry     Infatuation 3. Remembering your purpose of bein

The chapter 2 is what makes this book special. The author explains each of our enemies (as the author says so) and how to do with it with examples. It just blew my mind, wish I had read this book in my 20s, I would have been a better person since then.

A dear and near friend gave this book to me and I am so thankful and greatful to him. 

Is Bangalore ever going to develop and resolve issues?

This is purely my thinking.

Bangalore has already developed. It has given shelter to so many people, so many industries, colleges, infrastructure and what not?

The population has grown from 5 million in 2000 to 15 million in 2026. Its a job destination of every Karnataka person. And also attracts people from other parts of the country, isn't it? Reasons could be climate, job opportunities, living style, communities, culture and it is metropolitan (even though its not officially metropolitan city).

When it has accommodated 15 million then definitely all aspects of living should have been developed, right? Then why are people still struggling with basic necessities like bad roads, traffic jams, water scarcity, bad infrastructure etc ?

I would like to explain it with an analogy.

In Software world, we had something called Monolith architecture, meaning all the functionalities are embedded into a single application. The result ? scalability issues, often breakdowns, maintenance issues, difficult to upgrade software versions. What was the solution? Micro services architecture ! Get my point?

The same things should be done with Bangalore. Dismantle Monolith and create Micro services. Stop expanding Bangalore, but develop tier 2 cities like Mangalore, Hubli, Belagavi, Vijayapura, Gulbarga. 

What will happen? Atleast job seekers from other parts of Karnataka will get diversified in these cities and the load on Bangalore will reduce drastically. Bangalore will then thrive! 

I am sure this would have been thought by many, but none has implemented it.
