Come September

Well 'tis raining in Bangalore once again...One big reason for my love towards B'lore.
I just love rain (offcourse when it does only in nights and office hours and not on weekends - not at cricket-time - does my love sound a lot conditional???).
The city certainly has a magic. So despite the poor infrastructure, agonizing traffic, and no Hindi movies, its still a pleasure to be a part of B'lore.
And after rain, the mornings are looking more beautiful and the colours of nature, crystalline!
Some good book to munch on and endless cups of 'Adrak ki chai'...u can't ask for more in such weather!

Well last 2-3 weeks was a patience testing time! Had to commute to office by BMTC buses. Tell you its hell. My earlier office was at a stone's throw away from home. Now have to ply 10-12 kms on a busy route. And though i'm a big supporter of Public transport, this wasn't my idea of that. Morever the route-plates are in Kannada and the English nos are hard to crack. e.g. the '201' bus comes in a lot of 'flavors' like 201A, 201G and so on...So unless you are a seasoned campaigner...in every possibility you're gonna suffer!
But the hard days are over...got new bike. Now gearing up for another battle...traffic and pollution. 'neeways, got to lose something to get something!

i remain!

Well, it's a nice brief on the season ,but as your love for rains sounds conditional , mine is definately like that. Yesterday i was totally drenched while biking and that is a lot irritating. Well, "pakoda" with as you say "adrak ki chai" is the best situation to be in inside the house at the window.

Well one must count oneself lucky to be riding a bike rather than commuting in a bus. At peak hours it's horrendous to put it mildly, but still the BMTC service is really good.As you got lucky i have a turn around as i will be plying in BMTC buses to ITPL in few days.
