my friends…
Life has been hectic for a while ever since I moved to bangalore in Sept last year. At home and work it has been fun-tastic, each day brining in something new as I guess would be when “change” visits you. If at all it has taken a toll- it has been on my ramblings which used to be seen on this space. I have resigned to just posting what would be better of the forwards that I keep getting…but then nothing original about it.
Time has been running from me…the new job also brought in some interesting experience that comes with new product launches leading to some more grey hairs and some less hair also! The family always keeps me enthused at the end of a long day especially my son who turned some days back.
Life in Bangalore is a mad scramble for many from one traffic jam to another( thats all what they talk about)…even tho the bikers are notorious in overtaking from left, i still find the junta much more patient than say - a Delhi crowd which incessently tries to be the winner of Grand Prix all the time. I guess with Delhi registration on my car- some of the bangaloreans curse in their mind (saala Delhi vaala types) although I am not a bad driver and some of them avoid taking a challenge with me. Its either the respect or the dis-respect!
I am surprised at the mixed land use in Bangalore where legally offices and residences run side by side in colonies with all approvals. Delhi realised the inherent danger of this sometime back and prohibits commercialisation in residential areas. Here, its all pretty much legal.. so the city will only get worse. Even now one shudders to venture to distance beyond 3-4 kms from home.
Some how we seem to be endlessly occupied for the last few months on how far the new airport is. Surely there is much more to life than air-travel.
At the end of the day, its the cool air which makes life in this city priceless! It pumps that much more oxygen into the blood to make you feel good!
Good to read your post after a long time. Now, it’’s time to venture out to MG Road and other streets nearby and explore the possibility of talking on your mobile phone. If you can succeed in it - you are bound to stay forever in Bangalore… Kidding - more than anything else, noise pollution is the biggest challenge ahead for those in Bangalore now.
nice to hear that you are breathing a cool air….than a polluted political one…
Oh yes I remember your post which I commented too, last september, abt ur transfer to Bangalore and missing ur son. I had just strted blogging. Hope to see you with more blogs …!
