Abhinav Agarwal: I Don't Miss Elephants in Bangalore

Monday, September 12, 2005

This picture says a lot. Maybe not a thousand words, but pretty close.

On the left in the photo is an underpass.
In the top left corners are the offices of Accenture and Oracle.
The Oracle building houses close to 1,500 people
The Accenture office houses close to 5,000.
In the center, on the road, is an auto-rickshaw, with a steering wheel of a cycle, and a suspension that does not exist, and an engine that delivers less than one horsepower.
And on the right you have an Asian elephant. On top of which you have the mahout (the elephant trainer).
