… Take me to any road in Bangalore, and I’ll know the the Chill ‘n’ ovens and the Ganesh Juice centers… ..I know the places that are open late and the ones that you can hit for an early morning filter coffee. .. I have my own jeweller, shoe shop, kulfi place.. I have memories tagged to tiny alleys.. The road behind Sacred Hearts’ Church, the cargo lane next to the airport, Airline’s hotel, Old Madras road and how it was many years ago at midnight, all the crosses of Indiranagar..
I’ve been here long enough to talk about the changes.. It’s the place where I came in as a 17 year old just out of school.. It’s also the place that today, 8 years later, I call home… It’s a place, Vatal Nagaraj and his cohorts apart, where you get taken in warmly, no matter who you are and where you’re from..
Yes, Bangalore is my spirit.. But, always, yes always, Delhi is my soul…

Neat. I can’t but fail to notice that there is something about Bangalore’s laziness that we all love. Specially the ones who have been here for long. Do you have some must visits in South Bangalore?

And.. Delhi is your soul? Why is that?
