Marathahalli, bangalore - concrete jungle

If you happen to visit Marathahalli in bangalore, you would wonder if this is actually Bangalore, the garden city.... complete concrete jungle, buildings and buildings. All the trees have been literally chopped off, you can see that chopped portion even now at the sides of road. Traffic jams (which though is common nowadays in Bangalore), no place to walk.... crazy place.

Bangalore, it's chaos....

People who are staying and working in so called IT hub of India, god help them, chaos all around. Bangaloreans are the most horrible people I have ever met….. especially the vendors, rickshawallas, workers. Either they are not worried about their living or they pretend to be arrogant. Traffic is worse than Bombay, only good thing I can see is that people have some road sense. Every road is either one way or leads to different location. Even if you loose out on one route, you will be landed in a different place. And frustrating part is for the 4 wheelers. Workers (I mean those who deliver goods to your house) keep pestering you for CHAI PAANI (bribe) and horrible thing is that they demand that instead of requesting. Order placed in a big showroom will reach only after 2 or 3 weeks and that too after 100s of follow up. Catching a rickshaw is one more headache… mostly rickshaw drivers refuse to come and even if they come they charge you more (again they demand). Lastly language problem….. you need to know kannada or to an extent tamil to survive.
