Colorful Flowers and a Partial Rainbow from Bangalore!

I have been in Bangalore for past few days (Sesha belongs to Bangalore) and I never thought I would take a break from blogging. In this IT city our home was (actually Sesha's parent's home) without a net connection as soon as we landed. Only today we got it back. So here I am showing you some stuff that I photographed.

Flowers from Streets of Bangalore
I love the colors of the flowers I see on the streets, it is not so colorful in Delhi. On the flip side, CNG has made Delhi a lot more liveable, here it is getting too crowded for the size of the roads it has.

Such a Riot of Colorful Flowers
I requested all the ladies selling flowers to let me take a photograph, and they gladly did but I could not gather the nerve to ask if I could include them in the pictures too.

What striking colors! Don't you agree?

A Partial Rainbow in Bangalore

Finally, there was a rainbow (OK, so what even if it was partial?) and I had a camera. I know the surroundings are bleak but the rainbow does not give a damn and neither do I. There were two occasssions when the rainbow had come out in Gurgaon and once I did not had the camera. The next time I didn't notice it at all. And later people told me that there was a rainbow only after it had vanished.

Finally everything worked. I had the camera, there was a rainbow and we were in the car going somewhere. We stopped for petrol and I immediately came out and took pictures and here they are!

Lovely, lovely flowers ... so bright and beautiful.
And I love rainbows! A few days back I managed to take a picture of one, though I didnt get a clear picture as I just had my phone camera on hand. My take on it ...
A rainbow in the sky

Max, hope you are having a wonderful time in Austria.

I am quite excited about the possibility of writing for Gonomad. I should blog about it in fact. I hope it will work out.

Ketan, thank you.

Cuckoo, I live in such a concrete jungle that no one can really envy me!

Ganga, thank you.

Prashanth, next time :) By the time I saw your mail I was already slogging at office.

Ajeya, thanks. I visited Bangalore for the first time way back in 1993. It used to be so peaceful then :)
