Once upon a time, if one played a word association game, Bangalore would invariably linked with nouns/adjectives starting with P - parks, pleasant weather, people.
Even now, the association holds good for the alphabet - pollution, parking problems, and people.
Note: This was an old post in an older blog of mine, which I decided to fold for good. Somehow, the post still felt relevant.

Aiyo neevu shuru maadbittrenri, Benglur bashingu?
P stands for Puttani Express, Possibilities and People (all the nice new ones that come in every day)
Allve....?
BD, if you had to sit through three hours of painful traffic EVERYDAY to office, you would know what I meant!
That is yeno correctu bidri.
I remember my Hosur Road days from last year too. Less said about them the better.
Hey by the way have you tried out the new KSRTC Volvo buses to E City? They have lots of routes now and I hear they are cheap, fast and very comfortable.
Yes, I have, as an emergency measure when I missed my office bus. Vovlos are a blessing! Really smooth, shuts out all the noise (the best part!)And the conductors are quite polite! (Can you believe that?!)
I love B'lore probably that's why it hurts a little to see all the pollution and 'lost' parks....but the people are amazing as always :) And yeah the volvos are great!
I know what you're talkin' about, RustyN. 2 or 3 years from now I might write a similar post for Hyderabad :-(
@DC,
I wish these volvos were around for other parts of the city too..
@Priya,
Looks like no city can escape this fate! :(
That does not sound good!
But in spite of all it's failings, I still miss Bangalore. The city does that to ya :)
:) Just Me, looks like chennai is responsible for that! :P
how bad can this get!! Beautiful Bangalore becoming.... :-(
To comment on Hosur road traffic...for one to start hating "long drives" just visit hosur road. :-)
