Why oh Why?
I really do not know why...
I have given it enough thought and I still do not know why Iam bored sick of Bangalore.
Inspite of its fantastic weather,and the unsalty colourless water..I still don't like the place.Its been just a year(not even a year) and yet..
Theres nothing much I can think of doing in Bangalore.I really can't walk up and down MG road Again!!Snake n Ladder with my neighbour's nasty kid sounds more appealing.
Theres just the Cinema which seems like a better option.You can imagine the wonderous state Iam in if I watched some Telugu movie called "Soggadu " last Saturday..A language I dont understand and jhing ping colours I dont fancy too much.It was fun though.
I even applied some reverse strategy..instead of thinking why I dont like Bangalore I even thought whats attracting me so much to madras(No I will never say Chennai)..Theres no long lost Boyfriend there..Most of my friends have left.There are a few special ones though..I miss the beach a lot..but after all this Tsunami..er..not that much.Mebbe its just my tailor..I never found another one like him here(and pls dont get me in the wrong sense here)
And to think of it I used to hate standing in the queue for the yucky water.
Hmm..Inspite of all the sweating , the heat , the koovam , the dishum-dishum with the auto fellas..I simply love Madras.Its just more vibrant.And its home.

prabha,
Its not just with madras(even i prefer that way). It is to do with hometown. I also miss madras a lot, and every time I come back life is like hell. For some days.
You ask any bangalorean living in madras or bombay, he will curse madras. Now after some years, if you leave bangalore and goto another city you will miss bangalore as well.
Every city has its plus and minus. Bangalore doesnt have a beach. Thats really boring. But there are many places to see in and around bangalore. Get a 2 wheeler and start roaming around. Especially many unexplored beautiful places in kanakapura road, nandi hills, tippagondanahalli reservoir, muthyal madavu water falls. There are umpteen places to see.
If you are just going to visit shopping halls and movie halls, you get tired of the city pretty soon!
Have fun. You know, you have no other option than being in bangalore. Try to enjoy your stay here!
Hey Prabhu,
Its been nearly 5 years since I actually lived in Madras.Its not that I dont enjoy in Bangalore.Its fun in some ways.
And I understand when u say talk about others cursing Madras!!
But whatever u say Madras just has that special something ;)
Prabha,
Absolutely, Be glad that you are 4 hours from madras and missing it. I am - God knows how many miles - away and I am feeling the same about Madras. Madras is Madras. Missing it bigtime
OK this is BAD! stop this thing about missing madras. You are making me feel sick. You are 4 hours away and you miss madras so much. You have the ability and the opportunity to go there twice a month. Look at me! I'm wayyyyyyyyyy too far from madras. How'd I feel after reading this post?
*realizes that trying to be angry isn't working*
Madras is Madras. Period. No arguing. Long lost love or not, we all love madras for what it is. No other city beats it! Madras rocks!
any place with freinds around is heaven :) do you have any in bangalore? go out with them a lot, it'll make a difference.
yeah the hometown pull is always there, can't help it, life moves on.
Song - Madras, nalla Madras :-)

Home is where your heart is. However not everyone is lucky to be in the same place at any given point of time.
Yes, I like Madras more than Chennai, and Bombay more than Mumbai. I have been to Madras only for 3 or 4 times. Still I love Madras more than Bangalore. Mysore is even more beautiful than Bangalore. Bangalore is so crowded. Here there is only buildings, nothing else. And I visited a few places around Bangalore like Muthathi river etc. But not soo good.
Madras is Madras despite all its odds like weather, water and Women ;).
so these 3 Ws are not so good in Madras.
Rest is too good. One of my friend visited pondicerry and she went to chennai and then to pondicherry. I gave the bus route to here and she is so happy to see that there are frequent buses in Chennai which is very rare in Pune. Even I miss Elliot's a lot. I and my friend visit almost thrice a week.
Saravana Bhavan's masala milk :). Innum neraya.
Mmmmm..If I ever have to stay away from Mumbai, I don;t think I'll miss it so much. It's much too noisy and fasst for my taste..but then..u never know
I like to call Madras as Madras.!
Great city. Home is Home. East or West.
Why not look for a job in chennai and move. ?
Get ready thought for all that you have mentioned as the Minuses about Madras.
