Sounding silly in Silicon Valley

What is your mental image of Silicon Valley? I will pardon those who think that it is the name of an extension in Bangalore ...... In an Edward Said-ian sense we have internalised and Indianised much of the US: the burgers have been Brahminised to vadagers. Images on televison of the Infosys or Wipro campus with its lush green landscapes, bright looking lads in pastel t-shirts, state of the art canteens with designer dosas and ...... all these have created a mental picture of the Silicon Valley as a suburb near Koramangala. . .More. . .
