I have lived for about seven years in Mumbai and now completed one year and three months in Bangalore. .
It was not difficult to adapt myself to Bangalore, though, at times, I found it extremely difficult to understand the city.
For example, people in Bangalore are extremely patient and tolerant. If they have some problem, they would wait till it gets resolved by itself.
On the other hand, a Mumbaikar would fight vehemently anything that upsets his daily life.
Last week, some private entity was drilling a borewell in my locality and our road looked like a pool of mud.
We had to find alternative routes to venture out, making life very difficult for those office-goers who fight with time on a daily basis.
Still people were so patiently tolerating the whole nonsense, something that took me by surprise. The borewell was built and whoever built it never did bother to clean up the mess they created.
If it was in Mumbai, the whole situation would have gone for a toss. The people would have never let the drilling machine career to leave the location without cleaning the dirt.
Now the whole dirt has turned dry and we are eating mud on a daily basis.
There are some more on both the cities, but in my next post.
