Bangalore

I am in Bangalore. I have been here for the past 2 and a half weeks and I am all set to leave mentally. I would like to see my house. Things have changed dramatically here. Money runs like water and people are show offs. I guess it is because new money has arrived in the droves and people don’t know how to accept it and how to express it. The traffic is horrible and the restaurants are expensive. The dollar has chosen a good time to get stronger as I am getting a lot more bang for my buck.
The face of new India is encouraging but the gap between the have and have nots is huge. Hopefully India doesn’t fall victim to its own prosperity. The fabric of social life is vibrant but with it there are unstable relationships and marriages. I could assure you that Jersey is a lot slower than Bangalore. I was in Tirupathi last week. It was a great time. I was in Mangalore also last week. We flew Air Deccan which has apparently been taken over by Kingfisher. The plane had turbines and I felt like I would die. My paranoia for flying continues. They charged us for the sandwich on board as they are supposedly a low cost airline. The air hostess didn’t want to answer my question whether she liked her job or not. Maybe she thought I was Mallya’s spy.

I am hot as balls and my jeans are bothering me. I cant find my shorts. I am leaving on Thursday.
That’s it. Don’t have much to say. Have a lot to say but don’t feel like. I went to some awesome lounges in Bangalore.
