The 35 things I miss about you.....Bengaluru

It has been more than a month since I shifted to Mumbai and my schedule has been totally crazy over this period. I owe this craziness greatly to two factors. First, the entire "Change Management" thing associated with any move and second, to my childhood habit of not managing my time very well.

However, this blog is not meant to discuss any of the above. Below, are a few things which I really really miss about the city (and its people) I have been in love with for nearly three years- Namma Bengaluru.

• Zipping through town on my KA-51H-8497 with M for company
• Being always prepared to pick up a fight with the Auto-Waalas
• The awesome food cooked by Ramesh Ji (my cook)
• BTM layout
• Watching movies on a high with Raaja at PVR- with both of us wearing dark sunglasses
• Ankur and mine "Kaa Dealing?" greetings
• Tiger's "Budgeddddddddd" right in front of Mc' donalds
• My bakchodis with Baizzy which only both of us could comprehend
