Bangalore- One.
I've been in Bangalore for all of three days and I think the thing I like most about it is the freedom I feel here. I don't feel unsafe here, like I did in Delhi probably. I don't deny this could all probably be a socially reinforced conception of how unsafe a place is or can be but I cannot imagine walking down the road at 10 pm in Delhi with as much comfort as I do here, with no qualms whatsoever. Moreover, the people are nice and welcoming. Saturday night saw scores of Royal Challengers fans on the roads, one even posing for a picture I was taking!
Anyway, moving on. The weather is brilliant, just how I like it. It rains once in a while, it's generally cool anyway and it's sunny while it's pleasant! What more can I ask for.
The food is even better. I think I've harped on about the jackfruit enough to last everyone a lifetime so let me talk about other things. Koshy's. It's this age-old restaurant a little off MG Road on St Marks. It has quick service, yummy sandwiches, serves nice fish and chips and fresh juice. What more could you ask for if you looking for a light bite to grab? For markers, it's right next to Hard Rock Café, which is actually my next aim since I love their legendary burger and I've heard that Bangalore and Bombay have the best HRCs except that with Bombay's beef ban, the legendary won't really be legendary anymore. So in things to try here, there's this stall called Wetzel's Pretzels which sells flavoured pretzels which include both sweet and savoury, freshly baked pretzels. Healthy and yummy. I tried a sour cream and onion and loved it. I'm definitely going to have another one soon! Then there is Kalmane's coffee. They have an assortment of beans to try from, from which they make filter coffee, so coffee lovers get their chance to try what they most love. I've heard the peaberry beans are particularly delicious though I haven't personally tried them. I tried the Kolcoffee; it was a little sweet for my liking since I like my coffee quite bitter, so you could just order accordingly. Other than that, go for it! I also tried this restaurant called China Pearl in Koramangla, which had pretty nice wonton soup (a first for me) and mixed noodles.
The transport system here seems easy enough to get used to, even if you don't want to engage in the state public transport system. Auto rickshaws are easy enough to, though you'd be set back by a lesser amount if you manage to download the various Cab Apps on your phone and book an instant cab.
