As part of my first business visit thorugh my compnay i had been to Bangalore, the so called IT city. The city is beautiful, the roads are good but narrow leading to traffic jams but something i hate in Bangalore is people.
My journey to Bangalore started on the saturday at 7 pm in a Volvo 2x2 bus from Sion, Mumbai. (:-( Was unable to get flight tickets due to the sudden plan). Ok. the journey in the bus was 17 hours and i thought i would be drained till i reach my destination in Bangalore. But to my surprise it was a very comfortable ride, the bus was VOLVO and the ride was amazing. The Air conditioning was top class and with the added entertainment of the Television. I watched three latest realises of Bollywood, Runway (:-(), Luck (:-)) and Team - The force (:-(). Was a good time pass. The person next to me was busy in some erotic magazine.....
So as the night fell everyone fell to sleep only to get up in Hubli which came at around 5 30 in the morning. It stopped there for a while and later again picked up speed.
We reached the outskirts of Bangalore at aroung 12 30 and i was there at the busstop at 1 30 pm the exact time of arrival. Hats off to the punctuality of the Travel agency.
No sooner i reached Kalasipalayam, i was the victim of the rickshaw driver. Charging me a whopping 120 Rs. for a ride which hardly took 40 min. The irony here is that even though they have a meter they never use one, why? because it comsumes battery, how stupid......
Later i realized that if i would have taken an auto with a meter, i would have been charged Rs. 80/- nevertheless i learnt the lesson there. More about the trip in the next post....
