a weekend in Bangy

It is almost an year since i visited Bangy last . So thought of making a trip to meet up with friends. Mysore Express dropped me in Contonment at 4 AM. Riding in an auto at that unearthly hour along unlit roads with many barricades and armed police around was not quite the welcome i expected.

Bangalore hasn't changed much since my last visit there . Heavy traffic , alarming levels of pollution , erratic drivers honking away to glory, unfinished Fly-overs , long serpentine queues in almost all the restaurants.......hmmm...only things have gone from bad to worse ! Has FoodWorld in Bangalore forayed into Liquor business as well ?!?! Surprised to see Gins,Vodkas there. Though a teetotaler myself , i always like to see my friends carefully choosing drinks for the thanni party.

My bangalore trip is never complete without a stroll in MG Road and a cup of Coffee in that quaint Indian Coffee Board. Honestly , i never liked the coffee served there but somehow like to sit in their antiquated furniture ,sip the hot liquid and watch the colorful crowd in the sidewalk.

Overall, it was a gud weekend. Met many of my friends , hanged out in the hang outs and travelled around a lot ! Itz back to the grind here in Chennai ! Thanks bangy folks for the gr8 time !
