Banglore Trip

I was off to the garden city to visit my mama and aunt as i do in every summer since the past decade.Its a wonderful place,dint feel like summer at all. Great whether,its was like an hill resort when compared to the heat of hyderabad.
The journey was smooth but go onto the bus late in the night so was asleep quickly,touched down early in the morning and then there were the auto drivers like vultures to create a dent in the wallet,asking 150 bucks for an 45 bucks ride.somehow got home for a good price.Then was soon off to the construction site of that of an hotel which was being built my uncle.its situvated in white feild near ITPL which is the teck park which made banglore the IT capital of the country.went to the food court in the tech park,it was huge damn huge.make sure u visit the place if u are there in banglore.
My cousin joined me the next day,even he came from hyderabad and since it was his first visit to banglore the vultures took him for a ride.We had the whole day to chill out so went to the garuda mall first,nothin special there same stuff as found here.So after a while went to a rock pub called The Legends of Rock,great place very good ambience and great music going.spent some time there and then went to a lounge pub across the street but it was not as great as the rock pub.
Next day again to the hotel site and wasted time there it was tiring went in the morning and came back in the night and had good rest.
Then it was back to the roads for me and my cousin the following day,we went to the Foroum supposed to be the best mall in banglore,got bored again and then it was off to the Le Rock pub r and then for a change went to this place called ameoba,which is an place of games and bowling(not the cricket bowling),defeted my cousin in it.Then went to Corner House which is the mother of all icecreams parlours,the Cake Fudge there is simply the best,u could have a ton of it and still say u can have more.
Forgot to tell you people about the Aerosmith concert.i wanted to go to the show but my stupid cousin was not intrested and finally what happened was that my uncle got passes for the show and i dint go.i wish i did go cause they said it was a great show.
Then it was back to the same routine as everyday.hang out in Le rock and bowling and Corner house(cant get enough of cake fudge).It finally occured that i had a mom and home to get back to in hyderabd.So went around searching for tickets for a bus ride the next day.we came across a travel agent who promised us tickets and took an payment of Rs 1000.He gave me the receipt which i stored carefully.Later in the night he calls and quotes the price of the ticket and it was double of what it was orinally.Told him thanks and asked him to return the money.so the next day while going to the travel agent i realised that i lost the receipt and my cousin started shouting at me.We spent an hour pleading for the return of the money.Finally he did return it and then we went to the government ticket counter and got tickets for the bus ride in the evening.
So finally said all the good byes and left were the Bus station,on the way The Corner house comes across and i was too tempted to have another cake fudge.With my cousin blasting away at me and the traffic buzzing behind us i did go and have Cake fudge which melted in my mouth as butter on a hot pan.so with my stomach full go onto the bus and got back home and now blogging away.
