I thought I would write about my trip to mad but beautiful bangalore. But other things kept getting priority. I will, though write soon. The memories are already fading away.
Meanwhile, I made a new friend.
For children its easy to just walk up and say Hi. Some dont even do that. they spend a couple of minutes together and are friends for life. Adults have this elaborate ritual sort of dance, probing, questioning, asking, nodding, frowning, an then tentatively extend a hand to say hello, that too half heartedly.
I feel like a child again.
No pretensions, no expectations, just the joy of unbridled banter.

Bangalore is beautiful; but why did you find it 'mad'????
