shopping in bangalore

In Koramangala and Richmond Town and pretty well every neighborhood in Bangalore, the ground floor is made for shops.  They’re small and everywhere and use every inch of space.  I met some Americans at a party who were in Bangalore working for Target.  Apparently the big box American retailers are setting up offices in Indian cities doing administrative stuff for home offices and biding their time until Indian law lets them in to set up shop and change the face of small owner capitalism.  Thankfully, Manmohan Singh and his finance minister are pro-business and won’t allow the monopoly based shops in.  Not yet, at least.
