That's what happens on weekends, I sit like this on my chair, musing on what to do with with this huge 750 sq km pizza on a plateau called Bangalore....
So much to explore in some ways and then so little..
Theatre, Kannada mostly, I will have to look at the audience to figure out more than the play॥
Movies at PVR, All sold out, try your luck
MG Road, Cubbon park, Lalbagh, Visvesvaraya museum, no..they're not what they used to be..
One of those unlimited cliched exhibitions at Kanteevra stadium, no..no..no..
Go trekking with one of those adventure clubs, who take troops of 40 and turtle climb 300 feet hills, mostly very young couples helping each other along and who dont seem to notice you at all..
Take your wife to one of the happening hotspot discos, hasnt happened yet for me, as it requires the near impossible convergence of a good housemaid, my 3 year old's agreaableness to let us go and a fitting wardrobe so that us over-the-average-indian-age types can still pretend young.
Try to rub into the creative character of the city, join a music lesson and soon realize that the closest age group is 11 years younger to you and picks up 50% faster...you attend two weekends and then the third onwards the class is suddenly younger and faster
Go to the local derby season, Wonder La amusement park, or take a ride on the double decker tourist bus that shows you around bangalore...I'm saving these for "rainy" days.
So my standard last and safe resorts...try to feel busy by being in a busy situation...1) go for a tea at Koshy's with a novel and keep sitting there, while you may not be part of it, you will definitely be midst of lot happening around you...and 2) if you find travelling therapeutic, take a BMTC Volvo ride around Bangalore, you'l love how these sleek red beauties can accelerate on 20 feet wide roads with a spaghetti of a traffic around them...
And then come back, muse and write this blog...and hope to plan it better next week!
