Karnataka is a much cleaner state than Goa. In Bangalore especially, no one throws garbage outside their houses as many Goans do. Early morning, people wash the area outside of the house, and clean it up. The Hindus would usually make some rangoli or some such thing. The municipality garbage collector visits us every morning and we give the garbage to him/her. Karnataka is also very focussed in high-tech area such as IT , while in Goa the in thing is tourism and prostitution. regards, Samir
