Namma Bengaluru...!!!

Bangalore..Bengaluru...Garden city...India's Silicon valley.. Pub capital of India...!!

Bangalore has been accredited with various titles and attributes over years..! Bangalore was founded by Kempegowda in 1537..( now u know why majestic bus stop is named kempegowda bus stop)..! It is the fastest growing city in India currently,thanks to the educational and IT boom..!

Bengaluru boasts abt many acclaimed Educational Institutions ( in many fields like medicine,engineering,management etc) and has a magnetic power to draw many IT engineers(lets call them geeks or techies).. thanks to the IT boom !!

When i first landed on the shores of Bangalore ( not in literal SHORE sense) i was apalled to see the cultural mix in my college.! I felt like iam seeing the world finally..!! i found out abt new castes and communities of ppl and to learn their attributes (helps u in a long long way lol..)

The point iam trying to put across is the fact that we find a wide variety of communities prevailing in bangalore..example: coorgis,malayalis,tamilians,marwaris,gujaratis,bihari etc. It is truly a Cosmopolitan culture..!!

College and their Students: there exists a healthy rivalry between colleges ( iam speakign abt undergraduate colleges). each tries to outdo other in various intercollegiate fests held.! the famous colleges being Christ,St.Josephs,Mount Carmel College,Jain college ,Jyoti Nivas college..!

Students are bigger item numbers than their respective colleges.. always found in brigades,forum and al theatres possible..! their Fav words being F***,Shit,wht da? wht Ra? etc..!

the dressing sense is very casual wherein guys loaf around in just a t shirt and jeans and girls in t shirt.jeans and a cardigan..!! a bag is a must for these kids..and girls are partial to rockstars chappals.!!

Weather: the weather in bangalore is 24/7 happenign !! i mean to say it is very pleasant and romantic..!! morning are chilly and nights cool..!! hai....!! u feel lost in this dreamy place..! ahem! it can also rain without warnign! in short.. Bangalore Weather = Eccentric !!

Brigade Road and Mg rd! these roads shd be rechristened as Loafer streets..! we find guys (also uncles) just standing and mouth looking(ogling) at girls... and girls parading down the street wth their girlfrds..! shopping is cheap and bargainable.! it has an array of stuff to pick from.. from branded till non branded stuff..! depending on ur pocket status !

Brigade Road is very congested owing to the heavy traffic and the pedestrian traffic..! u find loads of foreigners ( @ times getting duped by unscruplous dudes).. MG road is almost the same like brigades but little bigger.! MG barista is the most happening place on that street !!

Traffic... eesh.. this is a negative image which is potrayed by the city i.e. their is no proper traffic regulation and roads are christened one way overnights..! this poses a lot of prblems for travellers..!! long jams are equally apalling !! moreover the roads in bang are Mashallah !! i think the MOON has lesser craters than our roads!! lolz..

Pubs ! aptly titled pub capital of india!! u find booze and pubs at every nook and corner of the city.! minimum 10 places on brigades and mg itself..!! we find only rock music predominating the pub scene in the city..!! however,the new deadline of 11 30 Pm has seriously scrwed up the night life..and has ensured anger among the partying crowd..!!!
Parks: Lalbagh and cubbon park are the 2 most famous(also infamous) parks in bangalore.
more than kids and joggers u find romantic couples here..!! u see various degrees of indecent behaviour here..!! a treat for voyeurs...!!
CCD: bengaluru is the birth place of the most popular chain of coffee shops CAFE COFFEE DAY ! this is THE place to hang out,hold informal meetings etc..!! u find one in every nook and corner of the city !!
Restaurants: a wide assortment of food in terms of affordability , cuisines,ambience etc is offered in bang !! one thing is for sure.!! no man goes hungry here.!! darshinis (small south indian joints) are found in abundance..! however north indians find it very very difficult to adjust in bang due to the fact that the staple diet in bang is RICE. one warning to such ppl ( my personal view) STOP complaining abt bang food 24/7 !
Commercial Street: the mecca of shoppaholics in bang!! u can bargain easily here.! however chappal variety is YUCK here.!! i think Delhi's lajpat nagar is 1000 times better!
Kanakapura rd: it a black mark on bang! i dunno wht made IBS to situate itself here.. total industrial area.. no security for girls, no place to eat !! yuckkk!!!
Autorickshawallahs!! they r supposed to b a boon but turned out to be a bane..! their demands and tantrums go sky high when a little drizzle occurs and when the clock hits 8 Pm.! disgusting to the core..and if u dnt heed to their demands and manage to get a seat in auto . be prepared for a longer route..
the auto rates can seriously burn a hole in ur pocket ( esp if ur a student ASK ME )! u know we shd ask them where they wanna go and then hire it !! they r impossible!
Bmtc buses: the most cost effective and economical way to travel... only thing u will need to battle is men (esp uncles ) leaching and Huge aunties with their massive behinds..!!
i think i have effectively summarized abt bang!!
hope u enjoyed reading it..
