The City i fell in love with ....

It is almost three and half years back when I along with four of my class mates came to this city for our Summer Internship. All of us almost instantly fell in love with the beautiful city which is known as Bangalore. There are lots of things that ppl like abt Bangalore. To name a few which had left us mesmerized were --

  1. Of course the weather esp. the cool breeze in the evening (month of June-July) which reminded me of my Port Blair days. It was awesome we use to roam post dinner enjoying the cool air and clear skies. Clear skies? Well yea come to Assam and u will find out what it looks like in June and July there -:)
  2. Then there was (still is) BMTC, I was amazed how peaceful ride in a city bus can be (and comfortable if u know the local language) esp. if u compare it with DTC/ blue line buses of Delhi. Well initially it was not comfortable as we didn’t knew the neither the routes nor the language, as a result u have to ask the driver , confirm it will go pass thru ur destination and board the bus all under 30 sec. phew!. I remembered one such incident when I boarded the bus from the front side all under 15 sec., boy that was fast. Alas! Only I knew that here that the front entrance is only for ladies, once I was asked by the driver who stopped the bus rite in the middle of road and asked me to get on frm the back entrance.
  3. Last but not the least is the PEOPLE of Bangalore. They are so cheerful and helpful.
  4. Of course how can one in blore forget Brigade and MG...That time there was no forum or central.


All in all it was very good experience and we enjoyed every minute of our stay, and we decided that we will come back here to work after our engineering. I am glad three of us made it year and a half back.
If some-one is wondering abt me mentioning Port-Blair and Assam, will write abt them where I spent few years before coming to Blore in subsequent posts.
