Bright side of the moon

Bangalore weather
Max-27 C, Min- 18C
partly cloudy, showers
wind - 20kmph

These 4 lines don't change much here in the newspaper. These 4 lines make my day wonderful. This city might be having lots of problems but these 4 lines make you forget all of them.

This posting will talk about the things I really enjoy in this city. The things which hold me back from leaving this city. Top of the list is the weather here, which is nothing but perfect. I started noticing how this one thing helps me stay happy here. I just came back from the terrace, which is my favourite hangout place. Cool breeze is blowing continuously. Its all cloudy as it just rained. I can hear leaves of the coconut tree making a soothing sound with the wind. It feels so pleasant. I might have had a tiring day , but that time spent on the terrace really takes the exhaustion away.
I can also say that weather makes everyone lazy here, as its pretty hard to get up in the morning even after a 10 hour sleep. I never switch on the fan as wind coming from the window is much pleasant. Laziness prevails all the time when I am in bed. I love it. :)
Stuck in the jam , traffic is hardly moving, but..... you wont sweat, you wont complain... the weather takes over all the time. Making that jam experience much tolerable.

I have always noticed, a weather really has the memory. If I am in a city & the weather is wonderful, that memory will be long lasting. When I travelled to New York, it was October. Sunny , cool & windy... I felt really pleasant & remember how that touch of the breeze felt. Sometimes I get nostalgic as I feel the same touch of breeze on a sunny day in this city.

The other thing which I enjoy here is the driving at night. The beauty of the roads can be seen only at night. There are lots of trees & again weather makes it even more relaxing & wonderful.
Roads here are not straight, but usually meander. Every turn of the steering feels really cool. Breaks are not required if you are cruising at 60. Driving has always been my passion, for me the most comfortable seat in the car is the driver's seat. Its really relaxing driving here at night.

The last thing which I like here is.. the taste of "Sambhar". Yeah, Sambhar tastes a bit sweet & sour. Karnataka sambhar is not yellow as we usually used to eat, but rather Orange. I can eat anything with that. Idly, Dosa, vadaa never tasted so good before.

So here the top 3 of list completes, though the list never ends. I am sure you will not fail to notice the things I described here. I also want to advise that if anyone wants to take a break & wants to go to a hill station, choose Bangalore instead. This place is a city with hill station effects. If you decide to come, do contact me... :)

Until then...
stay well
