New Year in Bangalore...

.... was amongst a frenzied mob. We got out of Garuda after a movie and saw drunken men and revelers, like everywhere! I was thankful for the security personnel and cops, but not enough to stop a drunken mob. And a couple of men even came up to us and wished us, shaking our hands. I felt [im sure the rest of us felt it too] at the mercy of the mob. We had to be rooted to the spot for about 30 mins while waiting for the mob to clear.

And, must mention our honorable citizens, the auto drivers. A guy charged us Rs.100 from Garuda to Manipal Centre. The only time of the year when they can get away with it.
