Bengalooru Calls "Mone Dinesha Vaaada"

Yup. With very high expectations, landed into the IT whiz city of Hindustan (so-called). You know something - in every family, a person working in this great city commands respect more than others in Chennai, Delhi or Mumbai! Its so often called a HYPE, or perhaps has become a MYTH that, a bengaloorean is the BEST, samjho, THE BEST in all aspects. Landed directly in Madivala, (didnt know at that time, i m going to stay there) and started to exceed all the expectations which i had in mind - JUST THE OPPOSITE.

-> bad roads, snail's pace traffic. NATARAJA is the best transport service. So got into one immediately.
-> Touch anything for 100 bucks! Thats how expensive is the COL.
-> Now to the reality! Every other person wears an ID card and he is the commoner here.
Compared to Chennai where people used to respect us.
-> Sky high Real Estate prices!

With all the dreams shattered, got a decent house for a rent, (i would have rented a bungalow back home with this), wasted 3 hours (sometimes even 5) to conveyance from Office to home and back.

Now really got the taste of Bangalore!

Even if i tell and will tell more and more bad aspects of Bangalore... i love the CITY, come wat may, for NO REASON, simple love it. Planning to settle here too....

PS: Some good things too..
-> Visit all the malls during weekends...Best place to spend.
-> The City is improving, hope i come back here sooner to blog its fame!
