BANGALONEby Daliah Ziper bangaloREsident@1 Shanthi Road
How do we cope with rapid urbanization and the changes in our environment? How do they affect our everyday lives? Our daily state of mind?
Bangalore faces aggressive urban development and at the same time a dissipation of its original appearance as a Garden City. Lakes diminish, trees vanish – little remains of the natural cityscape. Bangalore of today, the IT hub with its fast-paced life leads to a disconnect between the place and its people. And then, loneliness creeps in. 
BANGALONE gives an insight into this reality. A state of mind, which on the surface remains invisible. But when looking beyond materialism, decelerating the city’s rush and by taking a distant bird’s-eye view, one might see a complaining city that is losing its most profound feature: its nature and its people. The publication BANGALONE seeks to document and expose, not the unknown, but rather the unseen.
