Namma Bengaluru !

After almost 2 months in this city … have finally come to calling it “namma” bengaluru ! I like Bangalore … though not as much as the sweaty Mumbai … but its Bangalore.

A few things about this place you can never miss -

  • Corner House and its Death by Chocolate
  • Insane no. of cafe coffee days (CCDs)
  • Peace at Crossword and Landmark outlets
  • Wondering what the right fare is for a bus ticket, with myriad varities of buses. But a daily pass of 30 bucks comes in handy during a weekend wander.
  • Unique ISKCON, which is weird with its mall and multiplex appeal.
  • 60 bucks for a morning show at PVR and INOX !
  • Fudkoo native bangloreans always cribbing about how the IT wave has ruined the beautiful green city… once upon a blah !
  • Insane no. of pani puri stalls
  • Unlimited bakery shops ( the honey cake is awesome .. owe it to you … amruth )
  • Dont know how such huge no. of Liquor shops get customers. (had to search 15 mins for a medical shop near my place and found 7 liquor shops during the ordeal)
  • IIM Bangalore
  • Junta are seen with their badges/pass dangling around their neck or waist belt … shouting -” I work at Infosys / Satyam/ blah”. Even dogs would take their belt off while travelling back home !
  • Traffic … on roads during weekdays; suddenly disappears during weekend eves ! Never seen that in any other city :)
  • Over enthued rich professionals portraying their civic side ever so proudly by using a bicycle instead of their Honda Accord
  • Nandhini outlets (they are good)
  • Bannerughatta National Park and WildlifeSOS
  • Fundoo airport charging you 250 bucks more for its fundooness but worth the good bus service provided at reasonable rate.
  • Loads of barcamps, headsart.in, tweetups, blog meets and other such online (virtual) self meet real friends meet happen here !
  • The worst Auto service seen … though after Chennai :) … Why double ??
  • Total SHUT DOWN at 10 pm …. You must be kidding me ?!

(will keep adding more as and when come across more pointers… and I believe there are bound to be more … since looking to meet more people …as my friends advise me to join a dancing class to meet more people (Gals) !)

Living on the edge. Living on choices made in a split second, on promises broken before a thought, on memories that haunt you no matter how far you go, on dreams that crumble or get made in the next minute, on music that defines you. That is life. Image via www.gapingvoid.com Did do exactly …as stated … believe me .. worth it !

At Audi … for Music nite… in my psenti Sem was ALL ALONE ! I know … even i felt wierd. After all, I had dreamed of a more enchanting wing experience during such times in my psenti sem or atleast was hoping that would have a girl friend by now ! People dancing … drops and streams of sweat trikling down their rhythmic jumping bodies and amongst the enormous chorus din… … with Live music ( which made best attempts to get on my nerves … though a few were decent) … all alone amongst a huge crowd …was a vicariously different experience in itself ! Thoughts kept hovering my scarcely populated head … Being alone has its own advantages…. no one questions you.  You aren’t answerable to anyone … and are completely responsible of your fate. None other than you can shape your fate. It gives a funny yet serious feeling of having control. But… then again … saw a couple … getting cozy ! Man wasn’t that sweet. Then there were a couple of friends … making mockery of already ” ____” Music club et al. Made it imperative for me to accept - What’s the use of doing and achieving what you wanted all ALONE … when you wouldn’t have any close known friends to appreciate and enjoy those few special moments. Though … you have to treat them… be responsible for their actions on few occasions, also lose something just to help them out of a ditch … But I guess its definitely worht the ordeal. Man … was so bored sitting all alone there ! Yet … i still wanna be All Alone !
