The Bangalore metro Reach One has finally been inaugurated and after thinking that the visitor-kind of crowd will be much less after one month of its launch, we decided to pay a visit to the M.GRoad station after catching the afternoon show of Rockstar at Rex .
I watched a Hindi film after a long time in Bangalore, last one being Dhobi Ghat.
Metro was crowded as usual , most people boarding it just to get the feel of it.
The journey reminded me of the local trains in Chennai where you get amazing views in the route from Velacherry to Chepauk Stadium.
The tokens reminded me of the Delhi metro and I searched my mobile to get the snap I had taken in Delhi metro 3 years ago.
The trains look like the new Mumbai locals – silver with a pink lining.
The excitement in young and old reminded me of my first metro ride in Kolkata during Durgapujo many autumns ago.
Talking about other modes of transport, I found the autowallahs of Hyderabad pretty friendly with share auto prices as low as 5 rupees for a fairly large distance. That’s something unimaginable in Bangalore. And the Hyderabad tour was awesome as well. Right from all the historical landmarks , to pearls , to Karachi Bakery and Paradise biriyani, we had it all.
There have been times when you have wanted to do things but haven’t found the partner. Like Rachel wanted to go to an Italian restaurant on a Sunday night and none of her friends agreed. So what do you do? Cancel your plan? Not really. Just go out on your own for once, and there wont be diappointments. Like Rachel did when she went out to have dinner all alone even though everybody else ridiculed. When I had wished the desire to goto the Bangalore Ganesh Festival , everybody yawned. So I caught the bus , had great Karnataka food and enjoyed live performance of Usha Uthhup and Shan n Kareena
Okay this post is going nowhere, just that I’m pretty bored in office on a Friday evening
