namma bengaluru

My take on Bangalore v/s other metros:
Bombay in a way sounds too colonial,so they changed it to Mumbai and started calling themselves mumbaikaars,well as far as I know its been years since amchi Mumbai took birth.It has got a distinct flavour of meetha and the raw tadka.
From slumdog to Mumbai meri jaan,Mumbai has been everywhere almost everywhere. Delhi-6 can by all means called as a pure passionate journey recorded with that composite subtleness in each and every frame by rakeysh omprakash mehra,I don’t like calling it a tribute.The celebrated havelis or rosgullas or guru dutt sahab or the prince have made howdah To be heard in the far south and east.It is not like the only land mass with so many stars but stars have made that land mass to be heard,to be known by us!It took years for us to realize that it is indeed namma bengaluru from,Bangalore,well I wonder how far v the youngistan of bengaluru think of it as namma cool ooru!All across the globe veterans say but one thing metamorhosis of ‘the city’ that has been theirs since years.Every Monday in Deccan Herald a column appears on the colonial style houses in Bangalore. Honestly speaking its in a way tribute to the good old days of Bangalore(Bangalore or Bengaluru but it should be namma ooru).Residents of those places speak about the beautiful weather which used to exist,the no such hustle bustle of vehicles as of now or the mushroom like malls,in true sense the flavour of Bangalore.we are losing our most celebrated m.g.road in the name of development!well I don’t know if there is someone who does not miss m.g.road.Bombay became Mumbai but the amchi feel! Has absolutely not disappeared as in bengaluru.
My brother belongs to the techie crowd in Bangalore.A person from Kerala but born in Karnataka,he has not made a single attempt to learn kannada!no none of my northi classmates have given a try?westerners love the culture of east,has anyone compelled them to do so,no it’s the respect that has made them appreciate.That respect arises from the fact that its deep rooted in us,which is so pure and strong that its power makes anyone to bow down so is in the case of namma bengaluru,our samskruthi and namma kannada.we got the classical status but we have not yet achieved it .Films or books on namma Bengaluru will then come into picture lets first become in true sense Bengaloorigaru,then after we are in no means behind in the race of metros.
