Home sweet home...

I am back after a month long blogging hiatus. This time from good ol’ Bangalore. Awesome weather as usual. I have already noticed some interesting things here, like

• Bangalore airport having a thermometer showing temperatures in Fahrenheit possibly for the benefit of the American travellers. But what about the passengers from rest of the world that use Celsius. No such facility for them. Wonder why that is.
• I have observed that flight attendants on Indian domestic airlines do not have normal commonly used Indian names for ex:- Mehrzaan, Ruma, Rosita etc. Again wondering why that is, but not really complaining about this.
• No trip to Bangalore is complete without passing by Okalipuram where we get to see an entire range of tag lines for Kannada movies. This time it was “A big story of a small village”. Then there was one called “take care of your heart” for a movie called Krishna and lastly “Power of heartbeat” for a movie called Satya in love. :-) These are all priceless gems.
• Finally had a chance to see Sivaji the Boss. Extremely strong social message in the movie about introduction of plastic money in the future to root out black money. Special effects give Matrix a run for its money. The hero is looking extremely hale and hearty at 60 and very flexible to say the least. He is also extremely comfortable dancing with a heroine younger than his daughter.
• Kalmane masala coffee with cardamom is awesome. New finding on this trip.
• Another finding was that there’s a new crime wave in the city. Thieves are apparently stealing internet cables. This was an explanation given to me when my internet stopped working last week. Good to know that Bangalore continues to be innovative in all aspects.
• And of course, great to see the gang again and of course, sip the night coffee as well.
