Moving on...

I'v moved five houses in a little more than four years, and am currently onto my sixth. No, no, no one's stalking me and I dont have the cops on my heels, thank you. But the nomadic house hunting has been an annual fixture for a variety of reasons, ranging from ex roomie getting married to ex roomie moving on shore to self getting married to new job location.

But its the current move that really breaks my heart .... take a dekko at below pics and see why...






Its time to say goodbye, I've lived here for seven months and have loved every moment of it....Sigh!!

The Weekend Strikes ... and the hunger too

Oh Bangalore... how you pamper me.

You left me spoiled for choice with the myriad of options for a food lover like me. You made sure I didn't miss home when you showed me Little Home around the corner of the house where I first lived. You also showed me the secrets of cuisines I had never sampled before, the delights of Thukpa and Momos at the Tibet restaurant at Dubai Plaza, the hit combination of Dosa Chicken at Empire, the brilliance of Thai food at Shiok, the Korean pickles and relishes and spicy pork at Soo Ra Sang. And cosy little hideaways like Sue's Kitchen where I was tempted with Jamaican jerk Chicken and Crab Curry.






For those let-your-hair-down-nights, you provided me Legends of Rock and Purple Haze, and for those extra special nights you gave me Thirteenth Floor to go with my high heels. And for those days when I just missed the beach and needed some breathing space, you gave me... well nothing can really replace the beach, but then when Pondicherry is just a drive away, then why be so picky?



But there are times you have disappointed. You have yet to show me one good place that can serve up a semi-decent chicken cafreal, or a vindaloo that leaves me with streaming eyes. Koshy's, did you say? tut-tut dear Bangalore, allow me to introduce you to messieurs Martins and Lobo of Margao and Calangute. But then you redeemed yourself with kick-ass coastal fare at Mangalore Pearl and Kubay. And provided me my sustenance, prawns and fish, without which oh Bangalore, I would have suffered withdrawal pangs.

Cometh the weekend and you shower me with choice, oh bangalore how you pamper me :-)
