Food.... food... more food...We slept next morning till late after the wonderful dinner the night before. I took her to my office in Bangalore. All my colleages were so happy to see me after such a long time and they gave her a warm welcome as well. I showed her the place where I use to sit when I was in my Bangalore office.
The person who was happiest to see me was our coffee boy. My friend and I was his biggest customers. We use to have 10-12 coffees a day and the best part he liked about our custom was that we use to give him Rs 500 each and ask him to manage his books and let us know when the money was over. As soon as he use to see us free, he use to come with a cup of fresh filtered coffee.
As per our company policy, I was supposed to get food coupons every month. Even though I was here in UK, our admin had all my coupons in her drawer for all the months I was not there. There were coupons of like more than Rs 20,000. The best past was we had to use it before 31st Dec and only place we could use it were food joints. We had a huge task ahead of spending Rs 20,000 in 3-4 days on food. We went to the best places and had best food for next 3 days and managed to finish off most of the money *phew*
We spent most of our time shopping and eating. It was my turn to show her how well I knew the places to shop. I know very well where to find what, both cheap and places where shopping is a wonderful experience but not reasonably priced. She liked the Brigade Road, Richmond Road, M G Road, Commercial Street and other such places. This pic at the right is of Brigade Road, in the evenings it is impossible to even walk on this road. You can shop for anything and everything on this road. It looks like some alley way but you have to be on the Brigade Road to experience it. When I was new in Bangalore, going to MG Road and Brigade Road was the top preference of everyone :-)
