It has been a while since I was in namma bengaluru in the summer.
- Traffic sucked for the initial 2-3 days, but felt really good to drive after that. All my dormant Bangalore driving instincts were back in full force. I probably honked more than anyone else out there. "Waat? you won't let me pass on your left? blaaaahorrrn!", "Only idiots wait for the traffic light to turn green".
- Bangalore rains are incredible. They come in thick and fast and roads are flooded in a matter of minutes. Oh, the sight of those mighty rivers and lakes on the streets of bangalore. But the power-cuts are irritating (really? KEB?? even now???)
- Wish 'Ganesh Fruit juice center' can go and teach Jamba juice on how to make juices, shakes and smoothies.
- Constant 85-95 F in Apr-May. Maybe better than other places in India but still quite hot.
- Masala Dosa made here is unbeatable. Others (other cities, states and countries), please learn.
- Sub-tropical fruits are the heaven. Move over boring apples and oranges, bring on the delicious mangoes and jackfruit.
- Economy is booming, shops and malls are thriving, people seem to be hungry for success/money, jobs galore, everything is expensive, money flow is evident. So many Bimmers and Mercs.
- Nothing on T.V! Missed my fix of 30 Rock, Community, Family Guy, South Park, The Office and Conan/Letterman.
- BIA airport is so much better than the old HAL airport, but put on your glasses and you can see that it is essentially one large cow shed.
- Talwalkar gym rocks!
