that about sums up the various changes that i've felt for this city. Well, Jamgalore is the appelation i gave it. Once upon a time. very recently.
It may have people playing tetris on the road, in the way they drive their vehicles, and in the way they park and walk and cross the road and fill in the gaps in traffic jams; it may be the only game of tetris which is played with those blocks coming in from all directions at varying rates; blocks of all sizes and shapes. It may not be the best city around, but it has been home and it feels nice, enough number of times and with enough severity to 'forgive' it when it doesn't.
Hereby, I mean it when i call Jamgaluru home.
jamgaluru. jam gala ooru - a city full of jams :p
ReplyDeletei guess we have enough loaves of bread!
in fact, the kurchi man (chairman) of this year s kannada sahitya sammelan opposed renaming of cities.
really, a nice post!
thanks! i didn't know jamgalore could mean a city full of jams in the kannada way as well (jam + gala + ooru)..i referred to it in the english way - jams galore - as in plenty of jams!! but, as we see now, language is no barrier! :-)
