You're welcome, Infy.


I heard Infy isn’t very happy with the treatment meted out to them by Bangalore. Hence, they’re planning to shift their operations to Pune. Thought I’d write them a sweet little thank you note. Here goes:


You used our roads, our weather, our hospitality, and even subjected our women to some uncouth idiots, imported from distant places only to ensure your profit sheets looked good.

You converted our parks into IT parks.

You made that red light last 100 seconds longer at the Silk Board junction.

You ensured two roads diverged at the woods. And still, I couldn’t take the road less traveled.

You got our rick drivers to bargain for extra fare.

You got our rick drivers to bargain for extra fare, in Hindi.

And you haven't exactly returned our city the way it was borrowed.

In spite of all this, you still have the audacity to believe that you are doing us a favour by having your offices in Bangalore? In fact, you're doing us a bigger favour by shifting to Pune.

So, I'm glad that you're taking your 10 billion dollar Infosys ass and getting the hell outta my town.


Catch you later. (Maybe after 500 years or so.)

Bye for now.
