Hello Bangalore!

I’ve arrived – and I now have internet access so I’ll be sharing more frequently. The flight was obviously long – however, I somehow was upgraded on my Paris to Bangalore flight to business class which made the 10.5 hours much more bearable.


I arrived at 1am and my first impressions of the city are of a brand new, modern airport, having my temperature taken by a device that looked like it could have put a price stamp on my forehead (swine flu prevention), and best of all, Abhay’s parents welcoming me to their city. The ride into the city was a quick 45 minutes due to there being no traffic and there was a wonderful soft summer breeze which was a relief from the hot, muggy weather I left behind in Maimi.

Note: From now on I’m just going to call Abhay’s parent’s by what I actually call them to cut down on repeating Abhay’s name every other word: Amma (mother in Kannada) and Appa (father in Kannada).
