Bangalore has caught the flu...

Bangalore or Bengaluru ( I cant bring myself to call this lovely & classy city that name) has caught the flu.. She has been hovering in between 21 & 36 degree temperatures for the whole of last week , which is a sudden shift from the dormant 14 – 20 degrees till February…Of course you wont find this as breaking news in any TV channel, unfortunately they prefer to make it news after the patient is dead. But it is definitely a topic of discussion amongst the people of Bangalore.

Combined with the low humidity climate in Bangalore, she cannot bring in enough precipitation to bring about rain. There were thunder showers in Mysore & Kerala but nothing crossed over to Bangalore..

All the vehicle pollution has led to a chemotherapy type environment and the trees that Bangalore has nursed over the last so many years is looking bald, dry & whithered.

There are symptoms of jaundice too with the 800 odd lakes in Bangalore sighting a yellowish color. Ulsoor lake in the heart of Bangalore has a mix of colors which may soon turn brackish black.

But the spirit is still alive and she tries to sport a bright new day look every day with a slight early morning chill, chirping pigeons, misty fields and dew on the thousands of trees which still exist…

Hope she get’s well soon and the days of wearing a sweater to work and the charm of walking under glorious tree lined streets with a mist in your breath returns soon..
