Bangalore.. Finally

Finally - net at home and all that, so even though I do not own a laptop yet, am going to post about Bangalore from my roommates'.

I reached here about 5 weeks ago, stayed at a place called diamond district for a fortnight, searched and searched and searched for apartments and finally found something we liked. About this place...

--> Bangalore is very green, but definitely NOT clean. There's a lot of garbage generally lying around on the raods, there are open nalas which stink, and I'v even seen a couple of cockroaches and rats on the footpath :|

--> There's a CCD every 500m. Seriously.

--> Girls get looks from passers-by as early as 9-930. Being from A city like Pune, I never thought 9 could be late for going home.

--> I don't even want to get started on the auto drivers. They blantantly ask for anything between 100-150 bucks for 5-8 km, and actually expect you to pay!! The bus drivers also happily charge more if u ask them for the actual ticket. Blatant corruption.

--> There are a lot of malls here.. and all of them are really huge. And movie tickets will cost you a fortune!

--> The best thing about this place is surely the weather! Its been pleasant all throughout. Light drizzles, always a cool wind, great atmosphere in general.

--> These guys build houses and even building which have no space in between. In fact, a lot of these have common walls. Even though I live in a apartment, our wall is directly connected to our neighbour's terrace!

More later..
