Bangalore Musings

Had been here for almost 3+ months now and that too sort-of-joyfully as a bachelor. Some observations about the city:

  • Chennai has summer, Summer, and SUMMER and Bangalore has winter, Winter, and WINTER.
  • Missing the old walk on MG road. Completely messed up by the Metro rail which looks like a dinosaur spreading its foot and walking on a main road.
  • Good to see that Ramakrishna Lodge @ Majestic serves the same classy lunch at the grand old homely atmosphere. The area around RK lodge has changed so much that it looks like Stuart Little's home in between skyscrapers.
  • The Bangalore Corporation completely trusts its people very much. People on self service mode to clean their roads and keep it tidy. Probably wants people to make their own manure since its a garden city.
  • Amazed by the relationship between Chennai and Bangalore. Chennai remote controls Bangalore city's weather. When it rains in Chennai, it drizzles in Bangalore! Twin cities, these two!
  • The best thing to happen to this city is the Blossom book shop which I would rate as the best in India. Thankfully most Bangalorians are blissfully unaware of its existence and hence the place is not as crowded as it should be.
  • Uphara (Fast food joints) owners seems to be practitioners of Yoga. Currently most of them wants all their customers to stand in "attention" and eat. Would be good if they can spend a little more to buy a few chairs so that customers can sit and enjoy their food too.
  • Hosur beware. Bangalore is fast expanding on all sides that soon Hosur (then vellore, Kanchipuram etc.) might be taken over by Karnataka!
  • Rangashankara out beats all art movements in India in terms of maintenance of the theatre, quality of programs etc. Its punctuality is something alien to our Indian culture of procrastination.
  • Intercity bus service far far better than what I had noticed 20 years ago. But some old steel also are running in the name of buses here.
As always, amazing weather, excellent auto drivers who do not charge a penny more  (Ok...sometimes they do charge 10 bucks more but not like their Chennai brethren who will charge 10 bucks an inch of travel), and great people.

Will share thoughts as and when (and if) it comes.

Serious alcohol addiction results in a downregulation of GABA neurotransmitter receptors. An accumulation of toxins may become poisonous in the human body, which may lead to potential damage of vital organs and systems. Considering that these toxins enter our body by ingestion , inhalation and absorption , the risk of toxic overload is a common concern.
