Water scarcity, electricity problem, poor transport and roads and nightmarish traffic jams. My office is there in one of those shiny buildings. :)

At least, that's what i have heard from people so far. @Kavi - 'the dust will settle down' - hopefully sometime soon! As for me having a raft of a time. Sure! Now that Delhi has been submerged under rainwater, maybe a raft is what we all need ;) @Dev - I agree. Its quite unbelievable what the builders have managed in Gurgaon. @Chiranjib - Thanks! Make sure you carry a camera along ;) @Dinesh - Yes. And i think they succeeded in satiating their hunger pretty nicely. @MS - Welcome to Amreekandesi! I actually havent heard great things about living in Gurgaon. Apparently it is hard to find regular stuff and regular shops. They only have gigantic malls. About Noida, i actually have a lot of idea. Maybe in a post someday soon! @Solilo - But i think your village would definitely not be as dusty! @Mahendra - You're welcome. This was just the glamorous side of Gurgaon. Maybe i should do a post on the other side of the city. @QI - You're so impatient! ;) Give me some time...i will cover not just the other two states, but all of them! @Kiran - Thanks for the wishes. Me and the family are all settled and Indian-ized now! As for Gurgaon, it may have some glamour, but it is nowhere close to Newyork. (I miss Newyork!) @Philip – Yes, the buildings are great, but the infra isnt really there. At least, that’s what i have heard from people so far.

I was there a few months ago, visiting some family friends. It's a nice place to live if one is used to living surrounded by concrete jungle. But I think it is so much better than NYC - not as crowded. For now ;) I foresee further developments in the future. The architecture's are simply breath-taking!

That's one state taken care of. Where are pictures of the other two states? :-) Quirky Indian I believe the residential colonies have poor infrastructure, with safety and security also an issue….but the office buildings sure are swanky.
