After trying some junk north indian restaurants around here, I finally got to taste very good south indian food. We tried Malgudi, (check this review: http://www.mouthshut.com/review/Malgudi_Restaurant-52864-1.html)
I agreed with the reviewer. Food was really good and very different from the usual fare (Dosa, vada, idly) . Get Neeru Dosa, akki rotti and with kaju curry.. very good.
I went with a broker to check out a few apartments. I had heard good things about all of these. Broker was a few minutes late and he could not arrage keys to one of the apartments. He showed us Raheja Residency. The buildings are looking good from outside, the apartments themselves were crappy.
The search continues. Need to buy a car soon.

karnam's day out in Bangalore
Went to check out the distance between my office and EGL. It is about 45 min drive. The volume of traffic is not as much a problem here as how narrow the roads are. I feel Hyderabad has wider, better and cleaner roads.
There is a tonne of construction activity. There is a metro rail track under construction; The start of this project has got delayed 3 times already and is expected to be complete by 2009. Wonder how much it will help ease the traffic congestion though.

First day
After 20 hr long horrible flight, finally reached Bangalore. We got adequate help to load the baggage into a small indica. This one had a carrier on the top, so 3 big bags were tied on top. Did part with exactly 1 US dollar for help from 3-4 people. They asked for more, didnt have change.
Anyways, this apartment is quite close to airport. Didnt look as well as I expected it to look (from outside). It is an individual apartment building. However, the facilities are adequate. There is telephone, internet, hot water, TV etc. 2 bedrooms and nice furniture.
There is kitchen downstairs and we just need to pick up the phone and order food or anything else. They get it for us.
Felt very nice about the variety of channels I can watch. Was pleasantly surprised to know that all sitcoms I used to watch in US, like seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, Simpsons... everything is available on Star World. Only issue would be wresting the remote from her. In addition, there are lots of old hindi movie/song channels. Should keep me busy for sometime.
I got up very late this morning and had breakfast brought to the apartment and am still lazing around. Until, I get out of this place, I wont think about missing US.
So far so good.. may be better.
