Trivandrum, India (2006)
 Trivandrum is the capital of the South Indian state of Kerala. Kerala with its beaches, hill - stations, spice - plantations and game sanctuaries along side a maze of splendorous backwaters, lagoons, rivers and canals is one of the most beautiful states of India. I like this place very much. This is one of the places I would consider to settle/live in the future.
Columbus, Ohio, USA (2005 - 2006)
 Columbus, the capital of Ohio state, is a nice small city. It is the capital of Ohio state. I work in the downtown office. During 2000 and 2001, I worked in same city (at Dublin). The city is not so crowded with traffic. I like the public libraries very much
San Antonio, Texas, USA (2005)
It is a small city. I reached this city during summer. Guess what. It was too too hot. Many times, it is not easy to come out during day time. Based on the climate, it doesn't feel like it is USA. I stayed next to my office or work location. So, I did not drive or go out a lot. San Antonio downtown is very nice; the river walk, the boating. You will feel alive when you are there. May be that is the difference between modern cities (with huge buildings but you don't feel alive) and old cities
Chicago, USA (2005)
 I do not prefer to live is big or crowded cities. Fortunately, in Chicago my office was out side downtown. So I was happy. I worked and lived in the suburb Schaumburg. The place I lived was so nice. The lake, the swans, ducks on the lake the birds. Also I like Schaumburg public library

Denver, USA (2002 - 2003)
Overview
 Located in a spectacular setting at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is one of America's fastest growing cities -- and one of its most exciting. The Mile High City entertains over 8.8 million visitors a year with people coming to enjoy the city's outstanding cultural attractions, museums, shopping, dining and nightlife.
Denver is a clean, young and green city with over 200 parks and dozens of tree-lined boulevards. The architecture reflects the city's three boom periods: Victorian, when silver was discovered in Leadville; turn-of-the-century, when gold was discovered in Cripple Creek; and contemporary, when the energy boom added 16 skyscrapers to the downtown skyline in a three year period, 1980-1983. Look here for more details.

Mumbai, India
Overview
Mumbai (formerly Bombay), situated on the western coast of India, is the largest metropolis of the country. It is the capital of one of India�s most advanced states, Maharashtra.
Mumbai is a successful & economically thriving metropolis of India. Visitors from other cities and towns immediately remark on the visible squalor of Mumbai. Though areas like Nariman Point, Malabar Hill, Bandra and the newly designed and developed Bandra-Kurla complex are a maze of skyscrapers, the impact of pollution is obvious.
Mumbai�s very name conjures up a host of visions: of glamour and megastars who hold millions in thrall, of some of the largest and worst slums in the whole of Asia, of industrialists and business houses, of a multifarious futuristic lifestyle that is likely to become even more intense as the city moves closer and closer to becoming the world�s second largest metro by the year 2015�. Mumbai manifests a strong Western streak amidst the traditional Maharashtrian milieu. This is probably due to its being literally the Gateway of India, the point of arrival for most visitors from the West.
My experience
- City of fast life, no one has time to look at others
- One can get the experience of competition everywhere
- The electric train travel - one should experience in their life time at least once.
- All services and goods are available promptly compared to the other cities of India
- One can experience the importance of time and planning in every aspects of life
- One can easily manage anywhere in India, if he/she lived in Mumbai
- I love the taxi and auto-ricksha drivers and their good service compared to other cities of India
