Cost of Living ?

Who said the cost of living in india is fraction of that of US ? In Bangalore, if you want to own a 4 bedroom house with heater/ac running all the time to keep you comfortable, and have high speed internet access at home with wireless home network and have a PC in your basement and notebooks in all bedrooms, and a 50 inch plasma TV in the living room, and drive an SUV to work and eat pizza and burgers, and do your shopping in Big shopping malls, the cost of living goes much higher than that of US. Its not the cost of living that is a fraction. Its the style of living. Most indian software engineer who you can hire for a fraction of the cost that of US, live with two of their friends in a one bedroom rented apartment or small house and drive a small two wheeler to work. And they eat rice that is mostly cooked by themselves on the previous night. And on the week ends they dont go for hiking, rock climbing and scuba diving. Instead they come to office and work !

So how would you complete with indians ? Ask yourself !!!
