Something ( maybe a lot of things) make/s me wonder why I hated it earlier or was it just a CHANGE of place? Anyway...I have asked these a few couple of times here..
- Why is this place so confusing with circles and sectors everywhere? All look the same..
- So many gardens...all so neat, lawns well mowed..so much of ( visible) greenery. How do they manage?
- Do people here not eat pan? I have not seen them spit..nor have I seen what was spat!!
- Why are there no potholes in any of the roads that I have travelled for easily 1 hr in a day?..thats good coverage.
- Why do all buildings/apartments have separate overhead tanks for each flat unlike one common in Mumbai?
- Why do all houses/bungalows and apartments have huge balconies here? so typical of their architecture..
- why do all houses have atleast 7-8 doors? And why do all have a mesh/net door first and then the wooden one?
- why do people here prefer eating rice first and then the rotis?
- why is this place called that of the rich ones...when infact everything here costs half of what it does in central suburb of Mumbai? say even a mehendi...or a designer suit..
- why are there so less motor rickshaws and strikingly high numbers of cycle ricks ( poor guy fate...if a fat arse takes the ride)
- Do people here not read much? I mean, atleast on the net I didn't find any franchise of crossword, odyssey, landmark or any other popular book store located here.
These are some curiosities as of now. I am sure some more will pop up during my stay here for the next 2 weeks.
By the way, today I had lunch at sundarams, I guess the only authetic Southindian food joint. And the food was awesome...better then what I have had at cafe mysore or anand Bhavan at Matunga in Mumbai.
I wouldn't say I love the place in its entirety. Rather I'd say...I love it being a tourist here!
