Bangalore

Wokay, boys and girls after day-before's launch into the bangalore traffic think i must make amends before I am mobbed by ppl around here.

Bangalore is a nice city, if for nothing else just for the weather....Came here right in the middle of winter...didn't feel the chill....winters over...things warming up....do you feel it...yes....does it bother you no....nice breeze keeps blowing about... atleast in the not so congested parts of town.
Also for the number of trees around......goto malleswaram and the main road is actually an avenue...trees on both sides. this south-eastern part of town is abs bullshit but elsewhere its just so green. Last month while i was still staying at me aunts place, on republic day, me grand uncle tells me go see the republic day flower show at Lalbagh (bangalore's answer to lodhi gardens). Me cribbed and more, but was eventually given the boot and told to go....so went sulking. The flower show was fine .....colourful, nice floral arrangements and all. Saw tht and decided to have a walk about.

You don't realise the size of the place tilll you've been there. I went in by the entrance near wilson gardens (i think)....after me roaming me was lost so asked security how to get out...chap tells me MG Road exit....right,Jayanagar exit....left.....Now as far as i know these two places are nowhere near each other....Now....Lalbagh, Its the sort of place where you can probably fit in a few thousand ppl and still find some peace and quite to leave you to your own thoughts. Something like the seafront at after 9 in the night.....sit on the rocks, look at the stars and basically forget abt the world. To have a thing like that in the middle of town is, i personally think, amazing.
