The transition

When I thought of writing this post, I was myself rolling on the floor laughing. The transition I'm talking about is next to impossible. I am born and brought up in Pune (my heart still lies in Pune and frankly it pines for being in Pune). Now I'm talking about my transition from being a Puneite to a Banglorian.
I relocated to Bangalore in November 2016. It wasn't by choice but well,I was excited to be in a new place as I had never lived out of Pune. It was a peaceful place for me(away from some annoying people :-p ). Then began the exploration.
I would call this the most curious phase of my life. Me and my husband together have explored every possible suburb of this wonderful city. From smallest tea stalls to the wonderful gardens, we had fun exploring this metro. We have roamed around for house hunting, for finding new eatouts or just like that. It was a wonderful feeling to just roam around.
I would love to mention this, I fell in love with the lakes of Bangalore. Just the fact that they need more attention and care. The beautiful landscape they provide to this city is just too scenic and beautiful.  A lot is talked about the polluted lakes and bad drainage system of this city. But I would like to mention that we are the people who are responsible for this situation. We should act immediately otherwise this beautiful city would lose its charm.
Whenever I sit on a bench in lalbag or cubbon park , I feel very close to nature. I feel these gardens deserve better attention and treatment. They are like lungs of this beautiful metro and need clean air to breathe.  Whenever I roam in lanes of hsr, it reminds me of lanes in kothrud. The elegance of rajajinagar reminds me of kalyani nagar and koregaon park. IIsc reminds me of university of Pune. The only thing I miss here is tekdis (hills of Pune).
With a little time from our busy lives, we can certainly save this beautiful city from severe problems such as pollution and water scarcity. It needs our time and attention to make it more 'Livable'. We can make this silicon valley of india a better abode for everyone. We need to put in more efforts to make this transition happen ☺️
