Modern-day Gurgaon was Guru
Dronacharya’s village, a gift from the Pandavas and Kauravas for training
them in military arts. While the legends of the mythical village are woven
around the warrior mystic, the Millennium City, as it stands today, owes its rapid
growth to globalization, outsourcing and the BPO boom.From swanky malls and
skyscrapers to pot-hole-ridden roads where gleaming Mercs vie for space with
rickety rickshaws from voluptuous North Indian aunties and brawny local men
to rotund Bengali mashimas from designer stores and Starbucks coffee to
roadside vans peddling chole bhature. Drona’s village is riddled with
contradictions, both hilarious and poignant, irreverent and bittersweet.
Gurgaon Diaries is a humorous peek at the workings of this modern-day village
and how the Millennium City is a paradox in itself.
