Namma Bengaluru

I love Bangalore. For its exuberence, for its individuality, for its ability to allow us to do what we want and not care a bit. I love its malls, its IT culture, the vibes I get, the freedom it offers and the culture it embibes. Cosmopolitan in true sense. No bothering about the regions or language you speak. Not to mention the pub culture to unwind yourself aftter a tough week in the office slogging with ass colleagues and managers.

Its a time for me to think if I can move my base to some other city than Pune. Pune isnt buzzing anymore, neither it has the erstwhile "lovely" weather any more. People here are too conservative and skeptical about you. You dont have freedom to do what you want to do. Plus the outsiders aint looked at with a kind sight from the people who have been custodians of so called rich culture of Pune since ages. And Raj mentality is setting in here too fast for anybody's comfort zone. Educated and elite people subscribe here to the Raj antics.

I am still in Banaglore mode. Cant believe it was just 2 days there. Its been 5 years for me here. 62 months to be precise. Heartbreaks, pains and things turning bad in every aspect for me. 5 years is more than necesssary in this city. I havent been too great fan of this city. Though I loved it when i first came here i 2003 while working in Mumbai. I wanted to be here and came here in a year. But then things were never easy for me here. Fighting every thing, fighting for my identity, fighting the battle for my fading identity and existence. It all happened here.

Bangalore trips are now going to be more often going ahead. Next trip I would ensure if possible to catch up with my blog friends there. Namma bengaluru rocks. Pune sucks.
