Hi friends and citizens of Gurgaon. Last year I had bough a house in Gurgaon, half expecting the prices to rise and half expecting a peaceful suburban living. I am afraid, I am getting none. While my apartment block is barricaded from the chaos of Gurgaon, I still feel trapped in a deal and place, that I did not bargain for – Gurgaon. The solace is that I have a lot of friends in Gurgaon so atleast the weekends are spent partying. Last weekend, I went to this friend of mine in Sector 56, Gurgaon. He had thrown a birthday bash – his birthday was on the Wednesday preceding the Saturday. After a couple of drinks – and four in his case – the conversation veered towards the inevitable : Gurgaon and is nuisances. I quoted an article that I had read at Gurgaon.com…here is the link… http://www.gurgaon.com/content/?p=265 Its heading says something like this.. ‘Please do not fight after an accident’. The author appears like an old man giving advice to twenty-somethings, yet I could not help but identify with it when I went driving down Gurgaon’s sadar bazaar, the other day. I am compelled to write about this as I feel that this is a reflection of the ethos of Gurgaon and its people – for that matter of many Indian cities – and this is one of the attitudes that are best dropped to sort this city out.
