Namma Bengaluru

It has been 4 months since I shifted to Bangalore, and days have been passing with a jet speed since then. While the first month went off in settling and furnishing the house, the following months have been spent visiting places, relatives, friends and partying. I have been wanting to write for a long time, but life has been too busy off late.

Well, many people have been asking if I like Bangalore. There are many things to love Namma Bengaluru for, but the thing I like the most about this place is the abundance of known faces here. With so many relatives to pamper and friends to freak out with, I am sure I can never be bored in this city.

Next comes the weather, which has been anything but hot and sultry. Rains almost daily for an hour or so and I just love the chilly breeze that I have missed in the past years.

Never enjoyed cooking more and eating more. That is what happens when the husband is a foodie. I hope I can put on some weight atleast now :)

Have visited few places in and around the city. Absolutely loved the Flower Show at Lalbagh during Independence Day. For the first time I saw such an amazing variety of fresh colorful flowers at one place.

Went to Shivanasamudra falls which was some 3 hrs drive from Bangalore. Due the rainy season, the falls was flooded with water and tourists.
Also went to Coorg for a long weekend. It was raining there throughout but nothing can beat the fun factor when 6 friends are out together at any place. Enjoyed to the core, it is more of a place to relax than sight seeing. The Golden Buddhist temple on way back from Coorg is beautiful. We can see gold-coated Buddhist statues inside the temple.

There are many places and friends still left to be visited, but that will eventually happen over a period of time.

I have been somewhat disappointed with the shopping malls in Bangalore. Chennai happens to be a much better shopping hub and there is nothing compared to T.Nagar of Chennai. Multiplexes are too costly here and watching movies in theater has become a rare time-pass now.

More experiences with this metro will come later! At present - Life, I love you!!
