City called Banglore... frm d view point of a Punekar

As many of you know, I am in B'lore now.. doing Ph.D in...4get it. Wont tell you the tech. details :) (Ppl who r interested, can contact me :) )
The main point is tht.. am in B'lore. City, not so new to me as my aunt stays here n have visited her lot of times b4. Talking about the weather, lot like tht of Pune ( just love Pune - People who hv listened to 'Asa mi asa Mi by PuLa, will get wht i EXACTLY mean when i say tht.. hee hee..) That is damn imp 4 me... I hated Delhi cuz of the weather.. it s BAD.
I got here 2 wks back. From airport we traveled for around 45 min to go to jyamahal (my Aunt's place) and traveled back in the airport direction (!!!!!) to visit Inst. Of Bioinformatics ( another 1 hr !!!!). IOB is the place where i am doing my Ph.D. Then off course search for the PG accom. We went to the places near by n got back traveling 1.5hrs back again. plz do the math as to 4 how much time we were traveling. Pune standards about distance n the required time to travel are LOTTTTT different. Think mainly cuz Pune is comparatively a small city with less traffic. I better not start talking about B'lore traffic.. its HORRIBLE. its sad that I start my blog with b'lore traffic.. but that is the thing tht u face 1st whn u land here.
Otherwise, b'lore has changed a lot over the years... now its more cosmopolitan.. bigger.. People are good. they DON'T stare at you while u r walking on the road.. :) there are these slight differences between Pune and banglore. In banglore, you will find ppl who come from all corners of india.. 4 tht matter even world
You get all sorts of things in the malls... right from kerala parotha to chitalenchi bakarvadi...most of the ppl in ITPL wld be wearing branded clothes .... IT IT everywhere...huge money flow... Still there is some kind of 'sticking to culture'.. Ppl will offer prayers every morning.. there will be rangoli outside the bungalows.. early morning kids will practice Karnatic music... :) Pune... you wont find that.
The garden city is going to be the place to stay for coming 3-4 yrs :) and am pretty happy about it (nothing can be compared PUNE tho :P )

Lil dots that made the Paint Stroke
Its about my evening walks. I swear I tell u, these walks were concentrated feeling of my world. the world that I carry along everywhere. Then I remember what had happened long back. I remember having this distinct feeling when I was looking into the mirror 13 yrs back. The realisation of my world being independent of those around me. Realising that, i think so much about my people, my work, my existence, my world being of supreme imp to me and everyone must be doing that... and if I get the top view, where does my world of supreme imp to me stand? then I go higher n higher... n my world seems smaller n smaller... till the point that its just a point. A point among a million others..a million other points.. do they look different from the top? NO...... they really seem to carry lot of similar elements.. a feeling of uneasiness.. of course! its like an identity crisis! i laugh.. god!! now I c those imaginary walls that I created. Its like, u fence a field n think that its different than the earth around, missing the 3D!
