Bangalore Vs Delhi

With the IPL season having just passed by, it is natural to misinterpret this post as a comparison between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Daredevils. This post is a personal view of both the cities and all instances mentioned here are true to the best of my experience and knowledge. 

Alphabetically, Bangalore comes before Delhi and in the dictionary of etiquette, Bangaloreans leave behind the Delhiites far behind. The simply clad, South Indians use dustbins, do not pass on comments to people passing by(at least I have not heard any yet in my stay of 4 years which is same as that of Delhi/NCR), follow traffic signals, wear seat belts and helmets, purchase bus tickets and do not keep fooling people by giving them the wrong road directions.

Here in Bangalore, I have seen women conductors, confidently shoving their way on the bus.It feels good to see that. You see women controlling the traffic and it shows that at least one more job opportunity has been created for the fairer sex.

No rickshaw wala follows you here till home after 6 in the evening and even at 10 in the night, u feel safe in Bangalore.

Bus wallas don't make you hop in the wrong bus..

Enough of Bangalore ki kahani!! 

When in Delhi, you can have the best food at the best price. Shopping is a sport in the capital city. The clean and the broad roads, the smooth flyovers add to the glamour...But as very rightly said in a movie, Purani Dilli mein Nai Sadak aur Nai Dilli mein Purana Kila,  Daryaganj mein Darya ka aur Pahadganj mein Pahad ka namo nishaan nai hai..

Delhi gave me education and Bangalore an opportunity to use all that I had learnt. All in all, it was because of Delhi/NCR that I could come to Bangalore. 

the calm breeze.......

of the Indian Institute of Science, the huge trees, the greenery, the 'n' parallel roads, the short cuts, the chirping birds, the big bee hives, the departments, Molecular Biology, Genetic Engineering, Aerospace, Astrophysics, Atmospheric and Oceanic Studies, the all time busy tea board, the B Mess, Kabini, Nesara, and the people around..

There are many other such things which can be listed and described about this institute. 

It is "the" place if you want to get into research..not the market research but the one that academicians do around the world...research that ultimately results into papers published in the journals of world fame..

Had it not been a PGDM from Nagpur, and a close friend in IISc, I would have never got an opportunity of pursuing a research from here..

The Department of Management Studies, looks old and messy...but it holds a decades old history of making successful managers running businesses around the globe..

This world is far away from the glitter and glamour of the city...when you are here, it is a different world altogether..there is an ambition for all of us studying or re-searching here in the campus...and the campus seems to support us in its own serene way..

You have to be here to experience it...
