Streets in IT hub also deserted

PTI | Bangalore

The bustling streets of this IT hub, which wore a festive look with people thronging shops to splurge on the occasion of ‘Makara Sankranti’, were deserted on Friday with most of them preferring to stay indoors during the solar eclipse with superstition ruling the roost.



Ironically, it was superstition that apparently deterred people from venturing out “in the post-Amavasya eclipse as it was ominous”.

Faith and tradition is still very strong among young educated yuppies , people were praying. <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

This IT generation with Budh plays important role, also keeps them in tradition.
