Bengaluru, Karnataka

BENGALURU
Bangalore aka Bengaluru, is where my Thatha's sister, Malathi Athai lives in a neighborhood called Malleswaram.  Bangalore is really great because:
1. The family there is super nice.
2. Everyone is treated well (animals included)
3. IT IS THE MOST URBAN CITY IN INDIA!!!!
Banga is the most modern and urban city in India and probably on the top ten urban cities of Asia. I had a lot of fun. I hung out at malls, I played with family, and saw the city. Malathi athai was the manager of the house. She has a very cute round face and is like your typical grandma except for the fact that she's 150 times nicer. Her husband, whom we call Athimber, used to be a brilliant #1 professor in electrical enginnering in Indian Institute of Science but then he has become stricken with Alzheimer's  Disease. Still, he lifts his head when I come. And he has a kind of enlightenment about him.  He gets the best care at home with around the clock nurses who are really gentle and nice with him.  Even though he does not talk any more, I feel that each time we were near, he was smiling right at us. His eyes were so bright and he sometimes grinned at my sister and me.  His son is Swami Anna. He was just like my dad. They were like THE same. I'm not kidding. I call his wife Rekha Aunty. She was always jolly. She gave us expensive gifts and took us to a mall where I played pool with my grandpa in the food court. Pooja and Prasanth are their twin children. Cool facts: Prasanth lives in Sweden, and Pooja watches movies for her job. Sharda akka is Swami anna's sister. She is really pretty and really smart, happens to be a renowned cardiologist. She is funny and strict. She visits a hundred times a day and brought us stuffed animals in the middle of her work.  All in all, Bangalore was awesome. We walked places, ate fun foods, and saw lots of young people wearing LL Bean. It was just like downtown Houston. We saw many cool sights. I hope to go there again.
PS: Any of you who love urbanness should visit!
Look out for a post on my visit to my appuppa's cousin, the very cool Rajan chettan and family in Brookfield, a suburb of Bangalore. Waiting for pics!
