Bangalore Traffic - Life Lessons

1) Size Does Matter,

The bigger you are you have the greater opportunity and sometimes the assumed right to push every other smaller automobile out of your way. Having KSRTC, BMTC on the outsides or i-am- an-idiot-and-i-don't-care driver on the inside off course helps matters enormously

2) Speed does not matter

Yes, splurging all that money on the fastest transport you can get! wasted, completely. Whether it has 2, 4 or 16 wheels the fastest you can go within the city is very slow/hour


3) Rules don't matter

To a lot of people and therefore if you do like and follow them you are at constant risk of injury. ironical but yeah.

4) Money does matter

You can get away with murder if you have enough and are willing to make payments in cash.

5) Skills do matter

If you can call a cabbie's manouvering madness that! but it's evident that they and their brothers in arms the autorickshaw drivers have fathomed the chaos and devised a plan, everyone else be damned!

Notification emails - Do not reply!

The email as a form of communication is more than 35 years old now and the way it is used to inform has evolved over the last few years or has it?

So to ensure that the message is got across in a more obvious way we have creative folks conjuring email addresses that will discourage even the bravehearts from giving it a shot, do_not_reply@invalidemail.com

Madappa's Mess

Image
This is a restaurant tucked away in between the busy streets of Gandhinagar in Bangalore. It's definitely not haute cuisine, but if you wanted a taste of the everyday gruel that most Kanandigas enjoy, it's the best place. Located on the road parallel to the national market road (can't recall the name now!), the name that most people know the restaurant by is practically invisible and is overshadowed by the prominently displayed ‘G M Boarding & Restaurant’. If you weren't looking for it you could mistake it for one more of the cheap and ubiquitous darshinis/fast food joints that populate the city and give it the go by. The walls are dirty and there is a large hall with three rows of 4-seater tables. You are encouraged to share tables with strangers, if you're group with less than four members, we ended up sharing ours with a constable taking his lunch break. Steel plates with rounded edges are already placed on the table. A server comes around with hot water whic...
