Bangalore in Winter

December 14th, 2005  |  Published in Feline Obsession, Living, Personal, Photography  |  20 Comments

It’s my favourite sea­son — win­ter! And it’s a lovely time to be in this city too. The tabubuia blos­soms paint the town pink and pur­ple, and there’s that slight nip in the air in the morn­ing that makes you spend a few extra min­utes in bed.

High Court

It’s also a time for one of my absolutely favourite things — corn! When the yum­mi­li­cious smell of freshly roasted corn wafts in the air it’s hard to resist get­ting your­self a ‘butta’. And the ven­dors seem to mag­i­cally appear in every street…

Corn, anyone?

The cat is equally lazy these days and not inclined to get up at all. On Sat­ur­days, usu­ally the only day I can afford to sleep a lit­tle late, she’s only too happy to curl into her warm flan­nel lined bas­ket and catch those extra winks. At the most, she opens her eyes slightly, stretches her grace­ful limbs for a minute, suns her­self in the bal­cony. And then promptly curls up in a ball and goes back to sleep again.

You have to love this season!

    wow! I have been admir­ing those pink blooms that cub­bon park is so full of — stop for 5 min­utes on the way to class every sat and sun. I hope you can cap­ture the cir­cle of those trees out­side the library and the court through your magic appareil de photo.
    And so that is mmle.Kitkit — we never actu­ally got to see her through all that adven­ture you know — but sure heard a few mouth­fuls from her!!!

    lur­rrve b’lore for its weather. The best weather to catch those “just a minute more” winks. And great snaps too, esp the corn cob. Lovely. :-)

    Hi, I will come to Ban­ga­lore tomor­row. I hope for a great time. Pics are great and what is more impor­tant there is not snow in win­ter time. I hate snow.
    Here is one joke about cats:
    Chi­nese guy saing to tur­ists:
    “hey, you dont like cats??? Naa you just dont know how to cook them”:)

    I never wanna be in Bangalore..Such a ter­ri­ble and worst traf­fic I have ever faced in my whole life. Govt should focus on infra­struc­ture rather bragging.
