City i've lived, loved...

Its Summer, and obviously with it there are talks of the Heat, and the irritation to give company.
I've seen many people getting bugged over it, but over the years that i've lived in this wonderful place called Bangalore(No! Bengaluru), i've started enjoying the heat.
One reason being, i believe this city has a mind of its own!! The weather here is Fantastic. Even during summer, when the mercury level raises, u can be assured of rainy days ahead.
The better part about the rain in Bangalore is its not so heavy that it causes floods and people are washed away, and not so light that its there one moment and disappear the next. Its steady drizzle. just enough to wet our souls but not us, just enough to create the air of freshness from the scorching heat. just enough to freshen the spirits and not dampen it..

And the best part of it.. I don't know how many have noticed it or it may have gone un-noticed, the BUILD UP to the rain is just as amazing as the rain itself.First the light breeze picks up and quickens.The clouds start to build up and then there is the calm!! no breeze no sound.. its almost scary and finally it starts to pour!!! Every single time its an awesome experience to have.
I've heard people speaking about the best cities in India.. but for me its always and will always be this beautiful, blessed, divine city of BENGALURU
Enjoying the first rains in 2011 !!!
