I have a weird relationship with Bangalore; somehow I never liked Bangalore (a probable reason for this might be that I was forced to relocate there the first time when I went there). So the bottom-line is that I hate Bangalore and the feeling is mutual, as in, Bangalore hates me in return. I tried to make my amends by selecting a Bangalore lady as my beloved WhyFee. But somehow Bangalore didn’t find that too entertaining either. So now I was left with a city that hates me and a family as my in-laws which take the slogan “Namma Bengaluru” a tad too seriously.
I generally fell ill with asthmatic allergy or viral infection in Bangalore and as soon as I touch the land of Bangalore it simply starts raining and weather would become unreasonably cold triggering my illness. You know multiple times the sequence of events are like this-
I would ask my WhyFee, how is the weather in Bangalore and what kind of warm clothes should I carry?
She would say it’s sunny and dry; you won’t need too many warm clothes. And thus I would arrive with only one sweater (Yes despite everything I know what a B**CH Bangalore becomes just seeing my face)
Then as soon as I walk out of the airplane towards the airport, it would start with a mild drizzle and that would only stop when I step back in the plane for my return journey. Then it would be back to dry and sunny weather.
So this time I went to Bangalore and it rained like cats & dogs all the time I was there, and somehow my in-laws also believed that I was the cause of the incessant rains all across Bangalore.
So the morning when I was all set to come back to Pune, my mother-in-law was going through the newspaper. She suddenly looked up and asked “Is your name Cyclone? You have been mentioned on the front page of Times in Bangalore.”
I took the newspaper and found myself staring into the headlines “Cyclone arrives in Bangalore, Causes Rains, Showers and Thunderstorm”. I silently agreed, “Yes mom, my name is cyclone”
Needless to say it has been all dry, sunny and pleasant since the day I have left Bangalore.
