SUMMARY:Becoming Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:What makes a city uniquely itself? Is it its geography\, history\, location? Is it its leaders\, aspirations\, demographics? \n\n\nOr is it a palpable spirit\, wrought of a combination of all these\, that seeps into the soil over centuries\, and charges the air\, infecting residents and visitors alike? \n\nTwo decades of exploring her hometown – and reading\, writing and talking about it – has convinced Roopa Pai that the last is true: cities are neither born nor made\, they become. \n\nIn this collection of evocative essays\, she trawls the city’s history to tease out bits of the Bangalore jigsaw – a scientist’s quest for excellence\, a maharani’s foresight\, an entrepreneur’s vision\, a chief minister’s ambition\, a writer’s pride in his language\, and more – in an effort to trace the genesis of the liberal soul of the metropolis and its ability to offer inclusive\, creative\, laid-back spaces amid its frenetic growth. What emerges is a fascinating mosaic that reveals how a little sixteenth-century settlement on a hill became India’s most charismatic city. \n\nRSVP\nAuthor\n  \nRoopa Pai Roopa Pai is children’s author and journalist living in Bangalore\, India. She has over 20 published books which include the India’s first fantasy-adventure series for children Taranauts and the national best seller The Gita for Children which also won the 2016 Crossword Award for children’s writing
