Having just returned from the US of A it occured to me to start writing about things and places that make Bangalore ... well, Bangalore ... cannot think of an apt description. I always knew I loved this city but could not really put my finger on the 'why' - can think of a zillion reasons actually but the strongest I suspect are the memory haunts associated with Bangalore. I just returned from Chicago having gone through most of the touristy stuff most people do there and found it kind of hollow. There is more to a city than that. I want to put down my thoughts about Bangalore here and hope some of my love for the city comes through.

This is also a kind of exploration for myself so that the next time I go someplace as beautiful as Chicago I know what to do. This is also a kind of historical map for myself for this beloved city that is changing so fast. This is also an account of what makes Bangalore - Bangalore.
