I took the Metro today!PS my wife and I were not the only grandparents showing off toothless smiles on the train.

Namma Metro is drawing lots of happy revellers. People enjoy the smooth ride, the snazzy stations, and the process of buying and surrendering travel tokens.
Namma Metro makes me proud. Bangalore looks greener than most other cities of the world, the Metro gives you a view of only tree tops, with minimal intrusion of high rises next to the tracks. The stations come and go in a jiffy. In fact the total travel from Byappanahalli to M.G. Road took only 14 minutes! With stops at Vivekananda Road, Indira Nagar, Halasuru, and Trinity Circle. A car ride on a normal day would take 30-40 minutes.
Imagine how many great souls you remember: Vivekananda, Chinmaya (=Indira Nagar), the Trinity and Mahatma Gandhi. Halasuru means the place where you get juicy jack fruit. That is Bangalore for you!
Byappanahalli is also appropriate. All rulers need to be kept on a leash and those who do bad-mouthing (Byappas) serve a good cause. After all, the last stop for politicians nowadays seems to be Central Jail! I am not talking of the Metro stop.
Have fun in Namma Metro. It is indeed Bombat.
