I moved to Bangalore city, in the middle of september of year 2009. The cool city hugged me warmly.The city is located approximately 3000m above the sea level,so the environment is cool. The city baths in the rain nearly daily, as per my starting experience.
Initially, I was staying with my old (Chennai and Pune)friends at H.A.L. area. On the very first week-end only, I enjoyed a trip with my friends to a waterfall at Shivsamudram, on Bangalore-Mysore road.
Then shifted to a 1BHK flat and now staying with three old friends, in the same area.
I explored in the city for training, project,full time/part time job,home tuition.I was enjoying beauty of the Garden city, while traveling sometimes with friends, sometimes alone. I visited Sir Vishveshvarayya Technological Museum, on the Engineer's Day (15th Sept.). The museum is feast for our eyes really! There are many scientific moving objects,3D show,games ,books. The full scale model of Wright brother's aeroplane, caused my fingers to put in my mouth!
The city is having a mammoth traffic, but gearing up for Metro train now.The people can understand National (Hindi) language.(which was main problem I have faced in Chennai city before.)
Before coming here,I was totally innocent about professional and corporate life after academics. The graph of living cost is steeper in this city as compared to Chennai. I am learning to cook my food with daily new experiments.
As like Chennai, I am enjoying to visit Maharashtra Mandal here also.I laughed a lot, while watching a live-drama "Olakh Na Palakh" of Prashant Damle. There was Jallosh-2009 program, where marathi-youngsters rocked the stage, with marathi celebrities Atul Parachure and Pushkar Shrotri.
Old friends, daily new experience, eye-soothing gardens and romantic climate... My mind started to fall in love with the gorgeous capital of Karnataka State (India).

Nostalgia about Chennai...!
I was staying in Chennai, nearly the Earth revolved around the Sun five times. Hence, I deserve 'green card' from the Tamilnadu Govt. Though I have moved from 'hot' Chennai to 'cool' Bangalore, I am missing the days I have spent there.
The days were 'darker' really,in the environment point of view.As the 'Temple Town' is on the East cost of India,the sun was waking up earlier there. The morning session was really cool. But, as the 'time machine' runs ahead,the sun start to vomit fire.Nobody can dare to walk in the sun-rays (sun-arrows). You can feel a layer of sweat on your body whole day,even in the night; as the Earth starts to radiate heat at that time.
The evening breeze was giving soothing effect. You can feel the value of it at that time, followed by scorching afternoon. The mind goes happy while roaming at that time to the temples of Anjaneya,Vithhal,Aadinath;Karuneegar street, GIE road,St.Thomas mount.Most memories are of with heavy studies, cooking experiments, great laughters,silly fightings,beach roamings, cricket,Ganesh Festival(Ganesh-pooja,drama, singing,dancing,unity)with our group AVIATORS, and all Marathi,non-Marathi friends.
The people living there are spiritual, lovers of their traditions and language.They use to wear loongis and silk sarees.They are crazy about movies,Bharatnatyam dance,classical music.
Your taste-buds can feel the mouth-watering tastes of South-Indian dishes.There are oodles of varieties of idli,dosa,vada,rice, sambar and rassam.The tradition to serve the food on banana-leaf feels touchy. Butter milk, curd, juices, cold drinks are additional, but like compulsory due to the weather. You can get bananas to eat after dinner even in small shops also.The tea, coffee also have different touch there.
Best teachers,bester owners,and bestest friends, from whom I have learned a lot on the soil.
Hence, the Nostalgia.
THANK YOU AND MISS YOU CHENNAI A LOT!!
