After due diligence and deliberation, I have decided that Bangalore in the winter is what reminds me the most of Bangalore.And therefore I present below, 15 things not to miss in a Bangalore winter:
- The ethereal morning mist on the Sankey Tank.
- My naturally botoxed face after a freezing bike ride.
- The blue, dew-covered lawns at Cubbon Park.
- The insanely pink Tabebuias in full bloom all over town.
- Street dogs curled up in little bundles inside dustbins.
- The Bangalore Boom inducers - avarekai.
- My great-aunt's lovely Christmas pudding.
- Hot hot rava rava idli at Adigas.
- Missy M in her red sweater.
- The artists' walkway at Bengalooru Habba.
- Christmas lights on Brigade Road.
- Open air concerts at the Palace.
- My mother serving bisibele bath and bonda to delighted carollers at 10 in the night.
- My numb fingers on the guitar accompanying well fed carollers at 1 in the morning.
- And my birthday. Cash, cheques, facelift coupons and trips to exotic destinations accepted, thank you.
