The Times of India writes on its page-one article:
There’s an atmosphere of entrepreneurship everywhere you look. It’s much bigger than what we saw during the dotcom boom.
If that’s not the Second Hype here in Bangalore, then what!? 🙂

This week it snowed a lot in Europe thanks to a low pressure field called Holger. It’s so nice that three people thought of me when they heard about it. 😉
While searching for geodata on the internet I stumbled upon this message on nga.mil:
Place name errors have been discovered in the GEOnet Names Server (GNS) over Afghanistan and Pakistan. Use GNS information for these countries with caution.
I hope they found that out in a peaceful way.
Children of prostitutes from Calcutta took pictures from their daily life.
When religion and technology meet each other nice handpainted typography can be the result! 😉
No Alcohol on Election Day
Originally uploaded by holger.
There are elections in South-Karnataka („panchayat elections“). That’s why even the liquor section of METRO-shop was closed on 22nd and 23rd of December.
It seems the government wants to prevent riots of drunken mobs on election day. %-)
On December 13th, a BPO call centre agent has been raped and killed in Bangalore by a man who pretended to be her night driver. She worked for HP. The case is still in the the newspapers, because Bangalore was always considered to be very peaceful.
Yesterday a friend e-mailed me horrifying photos of a dead female body full of blood an a lot of bystanders in the background. This e-mail spreads around the IT-companies in Bangalore right now, saying it showed the victim of the BPO murder.
I had a closer look at the EXIF-metainformation of the photos. The „date taken“ field was from 13th August 2005, 5:40pm (taken with a Finepix S7000 camera).
That could mean the photos were taken four months before the murder. So either the camera was not set correctly, or they showed a different case.
When I get e-mails forwarded, I always try to be very suspicious about their authenticity. Many turn out to be fake or urban legends, the modern fairytales.
Update: rootburn points out two articles about the BPO murder, stressing that the outsourcing industry is shocked about what happend.
click.in – free indian classifieds is a good place to place and find local classifieds. Maybe I even find a personal Hindi teacher there! 😉
Für die Fotografin Lynda Jayne habe ich eine Website entwickelt:
schwangerschaftsfotos-berlin.de.
Sie macht auch Portraitfotografie und eröffnet bald einen Laden in Berlin-Friedrichshain. Schaut euch die Seite einfach mal an (vor allem die Google Spider könnte mal einen Blick darauf werfen 😉 ). Meiner Chronistenpflicht habe ich damit genüge getan.
