You know you are from Bangalore when…
Bangalore has evolved. I don’t know for better or for worse. We all have our own versions of the drastic changes that happened over the last 8 yrs. I shifted to Bangalore around a decade ago. I have seen it change drastically. My version of this is the long time I have spent here, and this one is dedication to the city that I absolutely adore.
1). You have fallen in “Louuuu” and your lover is called your “Dove”.
2). You fell in love with this dialogue “Yella ok…Cool drink Yaake?” Every college fest used it for all the gags they planned. Another one you still use is “Sakkat hot maga!!”
3). You are born in Bangalore; you were destined to be an engineer or a doctor. And also when you shifted to Bangalore, the reasons were the same.
4). You absolutely hate the auto guy’s guts! (for obvious reasons)
5). You wonder where the roads are.
6). You use the words “by-2” and “Parcel mado” in restaurants.
7). You have been to “Indiana” on Residency Road and thought it was the coolest fast food joint. You have also loved “Wimpy’s”!!
8). Bissi Bille bath is the most sought after food item.
9). You thing Gobi manchuri (that’s the way it’s spelt) is a gift to the mouth.
10). You know Upendra…and have tried to copy his accent.
11). You wanted to say Yuck! But you managed saying “Thuuu!!”
12). You raised your thumb during a brawl when trying to say “What the F@#$!!”
13). You thought whatever happened to public transport.
14). You think Purple haze is the best place to head bang. You also miss having peeco’s, nasa, guzzlers, bunker…around! Ah…those days!
15). You have always heard people saying… “In those good old days…there were no fans also! And look at the climate now…Thu!”
16). You know that Mt. Carmel is where all the hot chicks are.
17). Maga, macha, da, ra is what you call your dearest pals with all your louuu !
18). You have been to Empire around 1 AM and complained about no other decent places in town being open!
19). You still go out, and make the same disappointed face at 11 PM and complain about the ridiculous ban.
20). You have found all shops shut from 1 pm – 4 pm on the context of lunch breaks.
21). You think mosranna cools your stomach and is a must after meals.
22). You have gone to darshini’s and had the best idli’s, dosa’s, chow chow bath…
23). You have been to Koshy’s and loved it! You have also been to Cool Joint in Jay Nagar or atleast used it as a benchmark for routes!
24). You substitute Ranga Shankara to the word theatre.
25). You have seen the violin shaped building but have never gone inside it.
26). You love Bangalore weather too, but then you feel there’s more to the city people!!
27). You believe in “Aaarama…” and “Jasti tension beda!!”
28). You have said “Namma Benagluru” and felt good!
There are way too many!
Please keep adding more to the list….
