My place, My Bangalore - Namma Bengaluru

Hi everyone, Very Happy New Year!!!


Its been a while i was thinking to write this post about my place i.e. Bengaluru (Bendakaaluru--> Bangalore--->Bengaluru). Its been two months since I am back to India, i did observe a allot of changes around here. I will try to put my opinions here [Its completely personal]. 


As you already guessed whats my first topic, Traffic, yup it is. But this time i am feeling really good about the changes happened in traffic system here. Lots of improvements happened and more required too.But much better compare to couple of years. Firstly, traffic monitoring through cameras. It makes police life so easier, i use to feel pity on these police constables who can't catch any violated vehicles on the road but still need to stand in hot sun or rain or chilled weather. Now, you violate rule you will get your fine directly to registered address by mail. If you don't respond to it, you get warning letter followed by arrest warrant.  


However I am not saying there is no cops on the road, even now they catch you if make any moving violation but no more paper receipts or bribe,  they are advanced in technology, its Blackberry. They will ask your vehicle number, you name, your DL number. thats it, they will print the receipt from the wireless printer which they have with them. It gets print instructions from the blackberry in which the police officer enter the fine details or violation info. Which is recoded against your DL number for future reference.

Lets park traffic for a while and talk about other things, like malls, restaurants . In two years there are around 5 new malls opened here. Each one is complete different from other. New restaurants like taco bell, Shiok, Papa John's … Yummy yummy food.Still I didn't get time to visit any of these malls but I had once in Taco Bell. 


Rental Cars are now available in Bangalore, if we are planning for any long trips why to waste miles in your won car, get a rental cars.. I heard about it, I don't have much info about it. Planning some trip this Jan, let me use this service.


Thats all for now, i really don;t want to bore you people… 


Take care.
