The first ten days in Bangalore


Bangalore is busy, dug up, smelly in spots, and quite tough to navigate on any given day, especially Saturdays and Sundays. Everyone is on the verge of road rage given the missed meetings and wasted hours.

A million eateries have sprung up offering every kind of regional fare as well as fancy international cuisine.
Most waiters are clueless what the dishes are and can't speak your language, whatever it may be.

People are lovely, wanting to help and trying to make a living.

The TV is full of Bollywood Khans, godmen and marauding newsmen.

Mosquitoes have become extra-powerful and bite at all times of the day and night.

Come to Bangalore, the 24/7 city with all action funda:

The Khans sear my screen all day.
Godmen hop and mosquitoes don't stop.
Stuck in traffic, I don't care.
I have a date with my favourite buffet.
