Once upon a time I used to work and live in Gurgaon and I am back here after a gap of good seven years. In these seven years I developed a friendly relationship with the world wide web. For anything that I do not know and for any answers that I seek, I hit the search and more often than not I get the answers. So instinctively when I came to Gurgaon about three months back, I would look for answers and I did get them. One fine day I thought of connecting with the bloggers from Gurgaon, but could not locate them, probably they are lost in the jungle of NCR. The only blogs about Gurgaon are from the real estate companies and dealers for promoting their properties, but what about the people who are going to buy and live in those properties.
Gurgaon as a city has its unique identity, though most of the time it mingles with the big brother New Delhi and an umbrella city called NCR. It is still a small city in itself. If you live and work in Gurgaon and treat it as one complete city, it is a pretty comfortable place to stay in its present state. It is reasonably green except for the patches where there are high rise complexes in clusters. Yes, it has its own problems, biggest being no public transport, next being the power situation, with power available for only few hours in a day, but then these are the problems which we know. I am sure there are problems which I am yet to encounter just like there must be pleasant surprises waiting to crossed paths with.
As I live in this city, I would like to explore it, discover it and through this blog share it with other residents of Gurgaon. I would like this blog to be interactive, so please feel free to share any information, photographs, concerns, solutions, stories that you may have. If you do something interesting that you would like to share with fellow residents, please let me know, we can interview you and feature you.
Hoping to contribute a bit to the city I live in...:-)

I saw your blogs on gurgaon...good insight....
Hi Anuradha, I happen to reach your bolg for some book review and later found the link for Gurgaon. The place where I spent my last six years...now moved to Bangalore. You have very nicely summed it up :) I am happy to read about Gurgaon and yes even though Bangalore is much more green, better climate and food, I feel home sick with my home being here with me :p. Thats the irony when you accept a place with all its not-so-perfect surroundings and yet the place apeals to you in every sense. Lastly I'd like to say I am learning to like Banaglore. Hope to read more...
Dear Anuradhaji,
i born and brought in Gurgaon and i feel the old city] the original Gurgaon does not get deserving space and identity in the mind of residents of elite new Gurgaon. They think and discuss only the stink and chaos of old city. There are many positive and interesting aspects of old Gurgaon which must be highlighted.
