I do not want to brag about the fact that I come from a foreign land, but this point impacts my perspective to view any new city around the world. I come from New Zealand where you will not find many people or much of traffic jam. I find it a pleasing sight to be among warm-hearted people, and that too millions of them in just one city. Since I have origins from Hindu grandparents, I can understand a bit of Hindi language. The best part about the urban cities of India is that I can easily find English-speaking people, so I do not face much trouble in communication.
I began my day stepping out of my hotel, and I came across a temple where I offered my prayers, in not-so-proper style. However, as soon as I walked out of the temple, it was shocking for me to notice the huge bunch of garbage on the floor. There were cows finding something to eat from the trash. One thing that I observed in India is that one moment I may be passing through the most unpleasant smell of garbage or sewer, and the next moment, I may come across the most pleasant fragrance of food cooking in the kitchen of a restaurant. Every step in Bangalore is a great adventure of various kinds of aromas.
Some corners of the roads are marked as coconut corners, where I could find more than a hundred green coconuts with the vendors. It is just so refreshing to drink fresh coconut water and eat the cream, which often comes as a surprise to me. The price of the coconut and many other foods in India is quite nominal, and the vendors or the government do not charge additional taxes and charges on the products. One may pay several hundred dollars for a meager coconut in the USA, but here in Bangalore, you can get it for only 30-40 INR.
In many of the places in Bangalore, I am not allowed to record a video, some of them being the trains, malls, and grocery stores. Therefore, I suffice my cravings for blogging by memorizing as much as I can and then pen it down. Since it was my first day in the city, I decided to buy groceries for the entire month, at least as many things as I could remember. It is great fun to hire a service apartment in India and live like a local person. And the best part is that the residents would not resist you based on your ethnicity.
As I was driving my car, I saw a man riding a bike along with his dog sitting on the fuel tank. Usually, the kids sit on the tank with their parents in India, but it was absolutely hilarious to see a dog park himself on the place and enjoy the weather. Once more during the night, I saw a passenger on the rear seat carrying a goat on his lap while sitting on the bike. I realized that you could transport everything on a motorbike, and maneuver your way through traffic.
Bangalore, during its summer days, becomes very hot, so I find it better to hire a Car Rental in Bangalore without driver and drive anywhere I want. However, I avoid the office hours to come out on the roads because I never want to be stuck in the back to back traffic. And on any day, if I feel dehydrated, I would just grab a green coconut and gobble down the refreshing water. It is refreshing for me to just be in Bangalore. I get to see a lot of places inside and outside the city. And when I have a car with me, I do not have to worry about catching a bus or a train. Someday, I feel, I might even come to live here forever!
