TOO FAST - TOO BANGALORE

It was just another saturday night when my watch struck 12.Me and my friend Arjun were waiting outside a lounge pub waiting to go home after a heavy dose of hip-hop music and dance. We had an amazing evening meeting up with old buddies who had come from Chennai. After exchanging our habitats in the career world and talks about the hustle bustle of the software industry, we both fled to hit the pub where we normally hang out on saturdays. Reasons being quite simple. One, coz the DJs there spin some awesome hiphop and rap tracks to complete the week's long adrenaline urge of partying. Two being the fact that we have nothing else to do on a saturday night at home. And being a new Bangalore baby is absolutely fun with surprises coming along frequently. Arjun isn't a new Bangalorean , but a new party freak in Bangalore.

After socializing with a bunch of guys inside talking about life here and their where abouts, dancing to some of the known tracks and breathing in heavily into the smoke-packed lounge, it was time for the pub to close down. As usual, the rumours of cops patrolling around and the earlier you evacuate the better. We waited outside the place all set to leave home and drown into a long weekend slumber. Surprisingly, we caught up with a few party animals who knew everything about a saturday nite where-abouts right from where to find the best food after midnight and where to catch up with parites happening beyond midnight. Lucky were we!!! We got along with them to accompany them for an after-party meal. They lead us to this street, woah, the final destination as it seemed for me.



I was in a very wrong misconstrue that Bangalore sleeps at 11pm, Damn! I was wrong... I was surprised to see this entire stretch of about 500 metres hooked up with activities trying to awaken the pitch silence of the residential neighbourhood. With all the luxury cars parked alongside and superbike owners doing their thang in the middle of the roads totally aware of being watched by cops, and from food junkies hogging everywhere with the best of non vegetarian cuisines to the ladies enjoying their favourite doses of milkshakes, ice-creams and all the delicious desserts, it was all in action up there. Man, it was a FAST AND THE FURIOUS movie come alive for me. I couldn't resist grabbing on my favourite snack "Shawarma" enjoying it with a packetful of road-side automobile entertainment. Thanx to those good guys who took us to this place, which is now gona be our saturday nite spot after midnight. The places and the joints are not mentioned on the blog for security reasons. And, I am being selfish by not doing so, lol. There are loads of animosities that you would get to hear from people about not trusting strangers in this crime-tagged city. But hey, all ain't bad. I trusted strangers and i had a feast for my senses ranging from sights and sounds to the taste buds. So all you homiez who wana have an adventurous life ahead or atleast for a while, start living it up to trust those good people whom you meet coz you never know that they might lead you to just the right goal ur trying to hit.

I dedicate this post to those homiez for making my last saturday nite the best weekend ever in B'lore and also to my homie Arjun who is my partner in crime on a weekend night..lol. Until i come across something new next weekend, this is KabirEM signing off to get back to work. Peace Out!

P.S: The pic of the place is uploaded with the security constraints still in place..lol!
