B is for........

…….Bangalore
…….Beehive
…….Bullshit

Wokay………. to all those doubters, me is really in Bangalore. Got here on sunday morning. Went to the hotel. Put on the TV and while browsing through channels came to Channel [V] which was showing …… guess wat………some video titled lootela by some freak called Raja……….this remember was at 745am……….and me thinks wat a wonderful start to the stint here…….Anyway spent most of the day sleeping (overnight bus travel is not the most conducive to sleep) and was dragged along to see swades in the evening………End of day one

Day 2 and one gets up bright and early at 6 as we are told that infy bus comes somewhere nearby at 7. We (four of us in the hotel) get out well in time and start looking for the bus stop. The resident Kannadiga decides to guide us. In what we think is kannada he starts asking for directions……….end result we walk about MG road for half an hour or so……..very nice considering that the outside temperature is about 13 degrees or so……..Eventually we give up on the infy bus, catch 2 local busses and get to electronics city. We being the geniuses that we are did not realize that electronics city is just that……. A city. We think we shall walk it to infy form bus stop. After a 1 km trudge we reach gate 2 and ask for our building……the dude at the gate finds this the perfect opportunity to tell us that we should have gone too gate 5………but no matter you can walk to the building. After another 15 min of aimless wandering in campus one reaches building. Once we report here the guy says ok now goto Mt. Everest conference room and join the banking fundamentals course going on there ……. Me so happy……….. What followed is 2 days of most awesome bullshit that I’ve come across in me life. Me thinks that me is leaking brain matter ………….

Well the campus here is awesome………nicely landscaped and well designed………….between every few buildings there is a water body ………. A fountain here , a waterfall there……….overall creates a nice ambience. However the best part of the campus are the two beehives in our building here. Yesterday me gets in the lift and go to the top floor ………. There on the outside me sees this huge brown thing hanging down the side of the building…..on second look it’s a beehive……..exciting ain’t it………

I must say one last thing ……….. the traffic on Hosur Road puts the traffic jams on SV road to shame…….. Me must have passively smoked ten packs in the last two days. Travel which takes 30 min in the morning takes 1.5 hours while returning in the evening ………

This idiot knows that a certain moron in this city needs to be contacted…………. Will do so after this idiot finishes with the list of relatives one has not seen in 10 years ……….

in response to someone saying that i'm going to hell......

Hell has been breached ..........but they are not concerned ........ seeing tht one of their own is coming back. its changed a lot since the last time i was here. surprisingly there are no raging fires or pits of molten lava about (the canteen still needs to checked out tho). However maybe we can do something about that.........
Got here yesterday evening. Went an stayed with an uncle for the night. Think i will goto the hotel tonight Me has just spent 2 hours travelling by bus. I thought i can catch bus at 830 and reach here by 930.....instead reached at...blah...do the math. Met others in the lobby.....did some searching for the guy we were to meet and am now sitting here this blog. We will be briefed sometime later in the afternoon as to wat to do.
