May 06 Bangalore, MG Road and BaristaHope none files a case against me for mentioning Barista in my blog. Then again, it really depends on what I write, isn’t it? Here we go: Well, Bangalore for all its problems has one thing which no one could beat- not in my books, the best coffee in India. You can buy this from me, I have been all over India, and quite a few places abroad(thanks to my work) but I never ever had a better coffee than the one I am having now. It is hot here, YES IT IS- but the shade of the huge umbrellas are just enough, but surprise- the clouds are back there hiding the sun, and guess what- It suddenly feels atleast 5 degrees cooler. This is what I love too about Bangalore-the weather, no NOT the type we hear about- always cool IT IS NOT. What it is having instead is the typical unpredictability we find in a woman’s behaviour. Any woman for that matter I believe, we fear it but love it. Now now, back to where we were: Our dear Baristites are playing some good music in the language of the English- too bad I do like the beats but am too Indian to understand the lyrics. Its nice though. No wifi- am on my Vodafone USB stick(Oops……one more lawsuit). I think this is what I really deserved after what I had today- the “yellow fever vaccination” since yours truly is travelling to Africa soon. The shot took 5 seconds, but the ordeal lasted for close to two hours ONLY. Did I mention that the lady-in-charge wanted a bribe of Rs.100/- other than the usual charges- she called it “service fees” whatever that means. And to top it all she was a joint director or something like that. Before I forget- MG Road is changing big time, what with the Metro project and trees being cut off. Enough of that……………….time to sign off now. |
