What is buzz?

Walk around 7 Bungalows ... and you are enveloped with an all pervading sense of excitement, of heightened activity, purpose and near carmaderie with the dozens of folks milling around or passing through. You not only want to spend time and possibly money but also come back, if nothing else, to hang out. A first-time visitor might use the term `buzz' to describe his or her emotions.

...There are of course many buzz zones, small and big, in and around where you live and of course all over the world. Bombay by night, Madrid by midnight, London by day, New York anytime !


An excerpt from a really well written post on "buzz" by a friend and fellow journalist. Govindraj Ethiraj, a name and face you would be familiar with from CNBC, asks: What is it that gives certain places - and cities - that special kind of vibe or energy commonly referred to as buzz ?

An aggregation of hangouts, a congregation of young people - or something more? Read his full post and add your two bits to answering that question.

    See Zainab Bawa's CityBytes. She is exploring the City's public spaces, and what gives them their character.
