Bengaluru

So, now with the new status, as happens with all the other engineers, I am too in Bengaluru. This is the place even Mr. Obama is a little afraid off :D

Well well, it has been three weeks here. And I am really liking the place. I guess one reason that strengthens this liking is definitely that I dont actually frequently go to the inner parts of the city. People say that traffic there is total disaster. I am living and working outside the outer ring road, so life's good :)

The best thing about Bengaluru.. definitely its weather. That is the prime reason it is the silicon valley and IT hub of India.
And the other things which I like are : better public transport (as compared to delhi). But till now, I havnt encountered such a situation, even in peak rush hours, that you donot find any place in any of the buses. Yeah, a few of them are really crowded, but you'll atleast have an option to pay more and travel in a volve :).

Anyway, it has only been three weeks, I guess it will take me some more time to experience the real bengaluru.

Here is a list of places I have been to in these past three week:
Bengaluru International Airport
AECS Layout ( in Kundalahalli)
Marathahalli
Cosmos Mall at ITPL road
BTM Layout
Murgesh Palya
Hotel Leela Palace
Koramangla
The Forum Mall
Total Mall
LifeStyle
Garuda Mall
ChurchStreet (Java City and a not so impressive Empire restaurent)
Shopper's Stop near Jayadeva
Barbeque Nation, IndiraNagar

This is primarily east, central and south bengaluru... let see when do I see the other parts. Anyway, I guess this is a pretty good start :D

Status Update

Again, its been a long long time, as always. And yeah, few things did happen in this long long time. I am now an Engineer (provisional :P, not yet received the degree, just the provisionla certificate) Anyway, people do trust that to, so I guess for all the practical purposes, I am a Bachelor of Engineering (honours) in Electronics and Instrumentation.
