Bangalore Times....
hi
when did i blog last? on saturday morning. now it's already monday afternoon n i was very very busy during the weekend! saturday, we had lunch at Kamath Bugle Rock, a smashin north Karnataka restaurant near bull temple and bugle rock. there was jowar roti, sweet holige, mulaku bajji (chilli covered in dough and fried), rice, etc. it was very filling! after that, we walked around a bit in the park behind the bull temple that has the Bugle Rock that was one of the limits of the city during Tipu Sultan's period. the park is so green and well maintained.
after that, we went to the more local and open markets of bangalore city, those near avenue road and KG road. had a good bargain regrding my textbooks to be bought second hand at avenue road. the gulf bazaars, that sell goods brought in from the middle east, are also doing great business in this metro.
sunday also, began late for us. had our breakfast from Annakuteera opposite the Big Bazaar at BSK, barely 10 minutes walk from home. then we went around the various factory outlets along the ring road near kamakhya, again within walking distance. after all that, we went to garuda mall near mg road. we haunted shoppers' stop and westside mainly. we had our late lunch at the foodcourt at the mall, from subway. then we went to iim, where my aunt [achhan's (my dad's) sister] is working and staying. she's staying at the institute quarters. the drive was short. bannerughatta road is getting better and better. i remember coming here even 4 years ago, when the area was largely slum and there were a few highrise apartments coming up and a lot of buffaloes. now there are only residential highrises, mnc's, air conditioned shopping centers and luxury sedans all along the road. the change has been tremendous.
at our aunt's place were her son, his wife, her parents and brother, and my paternal grandmother (achhamma, or achhan's amma). sitting there, i saw schumi win the german grand prix and was made to sing a song.
achhamma and i sat and talked for a long time. i see her very often these days. she was talking of her grand children (i am one of them) and what she wants to see in all of us. it was around 8.30 pm when we reached back home. we had dinner and as i was feeling very sleepy, i went and slept. chechi and ettan were in front of the tv, watching titanic the movie.
and today, all morning, chechi was here. she was doing some work and i was surfing the tv. we went out to big bazaar, bought some stuff for home, had lunch at the food court over there (alu paratha and paneer parathas) and came back. chechi left at around 1.30 pm to office. she's got a meeting but ll be back by 6 or 7 in the evening, i believe. now i m going back to watch tv.
