You Know you are in Bangalore when….

• Weather is always good and pleasant. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself wearing a jacket even in May-June…or carry an umbrella in November…or switching on the fan in February…coz that’s Bangalore!!!

• Rickshaw driver asks for twice the fare to any place.
• When it takes you 4 hours to reach office during monsoon even if its just 15 kms away.
