10 reasons….

…why Bangalore is going to be close to my heart. That is what this post is going to be all about. Why this post? Well, because I am going to say goodbye to this city after staying here for the best part of the last 6 years. Why 10 in particular? Well just a marketing cliche that I like I guess

So here are the reasons:

1. I have spent the best years of my life at this place.
2. I started my career here. I got my first job at this place.
3. I have made some very good friends here:  Mota, daku, keshu, tamil sardar, subbu, UD, nayak, yadav and many more. This city has also offered a chance for me to meet some of my old buddies from school : vikram, ani, ramya, Gd and many more again. These are people whom I will probably not forget for some time to come.
4. All my memories associated with V are also indirectly connected with this city. Just like she is going to be an important part of my life forever, Bangalore is not going to be any different.
5. The tree lined roads. The ride down Nanda road is something that is a very very unique experience that not many cities in the world can offer.
6. The traffic. Surprised?? Yes I like the traffic. I think it is fun to get to ride fast on a crowded road rather than an empty road. And I know it is a genuine head ache when you want to get to some place fast but I have used it as an excuse when I reach some place late as a cover for my laziness. The latter is more frequent.
7. The pubs. Purple Haze and the rock music, J cubez near college, Sticks and so many more.
8. The idli-vada combo at SLV mess near Banashankari, the coffee at India Coffee House and the rava idli at Mavali Tiffin House. They are all unique to this city.
9. The weekend get aways like the ride to Nandi Hills, Skanda Giri and so many more.
10. The weather. Somehow people have taken this for granted in my opinion. Unfortunately, the weather has changed a lot because of the growing population in the city and the growing traffic.
