Me Myself and Gurgaon PART III

I never thought in my dreams tat I will write another sequel :) (I know its no big deal!! but stilll!!!)
anyways generally wen u start living in a new city,within a year u will hav a good idea as what is the city, ppl, weather, culture etc and i concluded tat i know everything about the city after an year there came many tiwsts..

let me just summuraize things
ppl..........its a cosmopoliton city withe a higher flow in of ppl all over the country, u get bihari to mallu to bengali to kashmiri but i must admit as in down south every person over there think tat every north indian is a punjabi irrespective of he is from UP, bihar, rajashtan here in north every person think tat all south indian are madarassis. I know it sounds very funny for every south indian, at times trust me, I feel like, I shud carry a map of india to show the difference between state. If i try to explain them tat kannada, malayalam, tamil telgu are as diff as german french and spanish, they just say.........."aare chod yar sab ek jaisa hi tho hai" .At tat moment its a mixed reaction of mine, I mean am not sure whether to laugh or get angry. This is the story of educated north indian.

Example of uneducated north indian is, these days i go for walk in the morning reason being my last visit to native(where in tons of comment came in abt my weight). There is gardener in the park who the other day came in and askd "u r from which city?".n i replied bangalore..........his next question was "is it towards jaipur or UP?"I was confused as wat to say, then he gave me another option "is it towards mumbai?"I said yes, but still not satisfied, he asked "is it near to or far to mumbai" at last i gave up n answered "its near madrass" he was very much satisfied and walked away with any further questions!!!!

culture............since it is a cosmopolitan city, u can either don't follow any protocol of ur religion/caste/sub caste entirely or can follow cross culture traditions. City is quite fast.......as all metros of India. Get up,try to do workout,stand on roads early morning to wait for ur transport,come to work,work till 5:30 pm,run bak to catch ur transport. I mean its tat the youth of the country spends an avg of 4 hrs on the roads of the city, how unproductive!! I guess our PM shud think of something for this :)

Last but not the least the weather, u can call it a 8th wonder, a miracle anything tat explains extreme. Guess wat, its raining here from past 3 months. U may be thinking so wat.This is the season here where in the temp shud hav reached 50 degree but its just ranging from 25-35. I askd the local guys as after how many years its happening,.many are unaware,.some say 18 yrs, some say 6 yrs, some say wen i was in school it happd so (though i know i am the only one in the world who thinks like this, still thanks to global warming as it is doing something good somewhere :))

nice one...innu jaasthi bardiddre chennagi irtha itthu..blog finished so fast! :)..

Sometime i feel its arrogance of northies to identify south ppl separately.
In b'luru itself, its not the different case.You can see their arrogance even in case of culture/langauge.
Most of them ,never try to make atleast an attempt to know place/language better.
en madoku agodilla :)
