Me myself n gurgaon part II

U must b wondering as y hav I kept this blog's name as Me myself n gurgaon part II......wel the answer is simple aaj kal sequel ka zamana chal raha hai :-)
I finally landed in a city where u get masala dosa@ 60 Rupees. Its a new city, new home, new workplace, new ppl.... I am sure one will be unsure of many things in an alien place. A bit scared, a bit confused, a bit hesitant............but i guess adaptation is human nature according to Charles Darwin so life goes on. But one interesting point what i felt was..when i was in bangalore the percentage of non kannadigas in bangalore really irritated me and the major portion of non kannadigas were tamil n telgu ppl. But now in gurgaon listening ppl who speak tamil n telgu i felt "feel at home" factor:-) strange but true. Since I hav started a living here i can find lot more +ves n -ves of the city. The funniest but strange -ve thing is ppl drive cars n even trucks on foot path similar to 2-wheelers in bangalore!!!!


I remember the two line of good old kannada movie chinnarimuttha's song at this point "esthond jana illi yaru nannoru? eshthond mane illil yelli nammane? yelli yelli nammane? :-)"

One of the reason to shift to gurgaon was to explore the beauty of north india. To accomplish the mission i started my journey by visting akshar dham which is near nizamuddin railway station delhi on mathura road. One word to describe it is SPECTACULAR!!!!!! When i was kid my dad use to take me to tourist places like ajanta ellora, madrai rameshwaram etc....n when ever i visted them i had only one question in my mind .....In the history of my country ppl have come up with superb art n architecture which are 100's n 1000's of year old but y is our generation ppl only intersted in buiding concrete forest? visiting akshardham answered my question as our generation ppl do hav architects who can match up to ancient indian architects. The main temple of swami narayan is worth watch....Its marvelous. The architecture is simply superb, the mantaps..... the pillars.... the tomb its a must watch. Also there is a small presentation of indian history right from the age of vedas to current one in which it says "u name the field n the ppl of our country in the past has done it right from democracy to rocket science n plastic surgery " and at the end of the presentation it gave a message asking our generation to carry the rich heritage in every sense to forward with dignity!!!!

Hi Sw@p,

You just decreased the %age of Kannadiga's in Karnataka. Atleast now you should not get irritated by %age of non-kannadiga's in Karnataka.
