A visit to mysore.

After more than two and a half years I went to mysore. There was this friends marriage there. It was pretty nostalgic, the trip. Let me start with the cribs and then get to the nostalgia. Havent we been hearing of Bangalore- Mysore express Highway since more than 1.5 years? You would hear about it for another 1.5 years atleast. There is no work being done. After a year and a half all you can find is a couple of cranes digging the land in an effort to make the area messier than it is. Earlier it was a 4 way lane. In an effort to make an express Highway 8 lanes(right?) they have successfully made it into a 2 lane highway. And the road condition is as bad as the koramangala roads!!
Phew! I had to get this out of my system..!
Now to the nostalgia. I went past The Windsor. It was a touching moment, all the memories of our stay just crossed my mind in a second. Almost like it was just yesterday. Mysore is extreemly peaceful, clean place, wide roads (lemme come to that), few people, low cost of peaceful living. I think I would take a transfer to mysore, anyone from our batch, other than Chili, for it?
Remember the Loyal world, it is one of the few super markets, probably the only one, in mysore. And the Idly stall near the temple. Could not go to that place. Next trip to Mysore, I have to visit these places - the Idly place, Chamundi hills in the night, NalPak restaurant and I dont remember the other restaurants names to where we had been...Did I convey what I wanted to say, Transfer to Mysore...Consider it.

Did I mention about the wide roads? the Govt is promoting Mysore to be the next IT hub and the ring road cutting the city is just a 2 lane road. It is going to be a mess if mysore even comes close to becoming bangalore. The flyover construction should start now. So that once the development actually begins, infrastucture is in place. However, in my opinion Mysore must be left as it is. It is enough that Bangalore has been screwed irreversibly..
So guys..Mysore Tranfer...Conside it...
