Eastern Influences

Abstract

S. Hariharan, deputy manager from L&T Infocity, sits in a fully wired office, behind an imposing black and shiny desk. The office is on the first floor of ‘Cybertowers’, a vast circular edifice made of brick and mirrored pane. From the tea shack across the road, where men perch themselves on rickety stools sipping chai, the building appears like a desert mirage. Rising anomalously from empty surroundings, it seems to belong more to the science-fiction landscape of Hong Kong or Singapore than to the barren hills of Andhra Pradesh.
