Updates from Bangalore

After scrolling through atleast FIVE blogs today, getting scolded by my dear friends who happen to like my blog (yaiy!), and being prompted to quit calling myself a blogger, I've finally got back to blogging :)

Life has been good. I'm doing my so-called summer internship/project/research at IISc. (No, its not okay if you ask what the project is about). IISc is a great campus, trust me. For all the kgpians, here's a thought - why don't we get shifted to this campus? The grad students and Phds could anyway manage at Kharagpur, huh?

Here's a picture of the main administrative building, I like to call it the church. Doesn't it look like one? It's bigger than what it looks here from here. And there's a statue-cum-sitting joint in the front, where you can sit and watch the building in awe. Truly an experience with the wind flowing.

Beautifully captured by someone.

This is one of the walkpaths that take you the departments through the greener insider passages. Interestingly, some of these have a shed on their top so that you could take a nice walk while you avoid the sun yet not miss it completely. You're bound to feel romantic at this place!

A rare blue Verditer Flycatcher. You can also find ducks and swans in plenty around the campus.

Also, what could particularly strike some of you is - the mess FOOD isn't bad at all. And there are a couple of good restaurants and canteens around. Talking of food, those of you who have never tried typical south Indian rasam with jeera rice should not miss it the next time you get a chance! Did I tell you I'm a fan of south Indian food now?

Apart from the campus, I've found some really sweet people here. Jayanthi has been like a sister, helped me with the accommodation, mattresses, medicines and what not! And Gauri, who I met in my hostel when she was watching a movie in our TV room, cooked me maggi at 3 in the morning coz I was hungry! Thanks you guys ..

I'll post more about my 2 month long stay in Bangalore and a weekend in Mangalore soon. =)
