Bengaluru continued to entice me with its aura and charm. After an exciting day at the Iskcon, the next day was devoted to exploring the city. So I decided to take the metro. I came to know that the city of Bengaluru, has two metro lines namely purple and green. These two lines cover different metro stations and mostly converge at Majestic, which is the largest bus depot and Railway Station of the city. Majestic, very true to its name, is a huge place which has a lot of hubbub, hustle and bustle. You can see a string of auto rickshaw waiting for passengers to call for them.

After getting down at Majestic, I went to the Orion Mall near the sandal soap factory metro station. Orion mall is also one of the exotic shopping centres in Bengaluru. But the World Trade Center, just beside the mall caught my attention. It was a multi storeyed, sky rocketing building which was home to certain offices like Amazon and McKenzie. The building looked magnificent and sleek. I saw employees going and exiting the building so quickly, as if there was an excessive amount of work that they had to do.

On the next day, I went to Sarjapur and saw many more offices on the way. No wonder, the city has a sister city in San Francisco and Ohio in the United States. The hustle never ceases to exist here. The whole place looks as if all the offices are here and here alone. Sarjapur, also has some shopping malls and complexes and residential areas near Bellandur region. Further, there are bus stops ahead of it in and around a place called Madavalli.

My trip in Bengaluru came to end after visiting all these places. The most prominent feature which has not yet come up in my articles is probably the traffic here. It is a well known fact that the traffic here is haphazardly strewn all over the place. There is no end to the traffic and getting stuck in a traffic is the last thing you would wish for, during your stay in Bengaluru. I was here for a short stay because I headed for Tamil Nadu next but I enjoyed my stay at Bengaluru. I cannot say that I would want to live here because the pace of life is too fast here and being from a smaller city which is not a metropolis, Bengaluru seemed to me like the rich kid in class, admired by everyone but befriended by a few.
