Bangalore Week

I was in Bangalore for a week to give GD/PI of XIME. Even though I didn't get to travel many places, I had my moments. Things I learned from that travel are as follows :

Train Journey
I traveled alone for the first time in train. It was a 2 days journey and the return was even a longer 3 days journey(day wise). By now I am confident of travelling anywhere in India, at least with AC 3 facilities.

Buses of Bangalore
It was amazing to find out the Gold Pass Ticket facility inside the Bangalore city for buses. Bought a ticket and enjoyed several bus ride.





Orien Mall
By far one the best shopping mall in India in terms of infrastructure. The water fountain was breathtaking and the view of World Trade Center Office was one I will not forget in a long time.


Bangalore Metro
Yes, Bangalore city has got metro trains facilities and it's different from the ones in Delhi in some technical aspect. I asked why there were many security guards in the platform and the reasons given was really good. In Delhi, you could jumped down the metro tracks and the worst thing that can happen to you is that you might go to jail. In Bangalore, you will simply die because of high voltage that runs through the tracks.

Family Bonding
It's been long since I had proper family dinner. Felt really great after sleeping, eating, playing and staying with my friend Rokesh and his family for about a week. Staying in hostels, single rooms has made me quite an alien to the world of togetherness.



That's it folks. It's was a time well spent. Hope to visit Bangalore again.



Update: The result is out. I did not get selected for XIME. Thanks to them for giving me a chance to visit Bangalore.
