Bangalore vs Hyderabad

This is one battle Hyderabad is winning hands down if one were to go by the new airports these two cities have put up recently. While the one at Bangalore has gone from being a glorified bus stand to a half decent domestic airport. The Hyderabad airport is truly international.

One wonders what Bangalore gained by going for a multi-national consortium to build the airport. The domestic team led by the GMR group has done an amazing job at Hyderabad and I am sure the Delhi airport will also be world class when they finish there. The supposed international expertise is amazingly invisible and is really galling for a Bangalore boy to take. I am sure, these feelings are echoed by most Bangalorean's who visit Hyderabad.

I wonder if the power't that be are going to do something about this?

Someone needs to ask some tough questions.....
