Ah, Bangalore, I’m trying to capture its essence with just this little blog. It doesn’t seem sufficient enough, but this is my final stretch in Bangalore, so here I sit and wait for my experiences here to bubble up and express themselves in words. I’ll start with the people; those who managed to float in and out of my life ever so seamlessly, like all the staff at one of the best hotels Bangalore India has, have brought many moments of happiness. I even felt almost like a good friend with some of the staff members. Maybe because I have stayed here for almost a month, one can help but get to know the people you see day in and day out.  I made new acquaintances and I unexpectedly forged new friendships. All of these trysts made my stay in Bangalore memorable and surprisingly beautiful.

Then there’s Bangalore itself. I had so many experiences, all different from the next. The hotel garden, in its serenity and calmness welcomed me everyday as I would meditate in its luscious green landscape. I can still feel the gentle breeze brush up against my face to cool me down then go off to rustle the leaves of the trees in the garden. Outside the hotel, I gradually developed a rich relationship with Yelda while we travelled in a car, or bus, on foot, on a scooter, which reminds me to mention a little bit about the traffic where the entire city is always afloat. I’m telling you, Bangalore would not be Bangalore without the amazing no-rules traffic.

I’m not use to it, but at first I was amazed about just how green Bangalore is compared to the city’s surroundings. During my months stay the weather has been perfect, I didn’t need an umbrella or a shawl; the breeze was what kept the temperature perfect, like a natural air-conditioner that didn’t cost a thing and didn’t waste energy. If it did rain, it was refreshing. So, what can I say, it’s perfect here, I hate to leave, but my journey isn’t over, maybe my next stop will be just as perfect, but I highly doubt it.
