Well..In fact the whole weekend was a great one. Firstly, having 3 days off in a new city away from friends and family is not a very pleasing thing. Right now, I'm living very comfortably in a guest house with everything from food to Laundry being taken care of. But i know for sure that once I have to move out to a rented place, I will need all of the weekend to attend to Domestic chores myself.
Saturday morning was spent in lazing around...late breakfast and TV. Me and my roommate then left for a trip to the heart of Bangalore, it's main commercial street, M.G.Road. Although the malls, coffee place, restaurants and Pubs are much bigger and better than Mumbai, the pollution was twice as much too. We spent most of the afternoon and late evening in moving around Richmond road, Residencey road, Brigade road and M.G.road.
Sunday and Monday were a treat. I took the early morning train to Mysore. The weather was awesome. And the journey...even better..i did not mind the weekend crowd for once. Mysore was much cooler than I expected. Cold in fact. And the part of town that my Uncle lives in was superb ( I think I will run out of most superlatives I know at the end of this post). The entire city is spread out in elevated parts. Every part offers a great view of the others. The houses are all really well planned and Superbly built. Monday morning was spent in driving around the Outskirts of Mysore...especially the Hebbal area. This area houses most of the IT giants like Infy, L&T, Wipro etc. I wonder, why would youngsters want to leave a job after working in such a peaceful and beautiful place? I think it's because of the lack of things that we are so used to...Swish pubs, coffee places, Entertainment complexes etc. The Infy complex was a township in itself...everything beautifully organised within the boundaries.
I'm not really in a mood to get back to any work right now after a lovely weekend. But wil have to. Work is good too right now....So I won't mind it as much as I usually do.
