When we were deciding on which restaurant to go to yesterday evening for dinner, my mom suggested we go to this place in Kammanahalli. I was just not ready to go to any place in Kammanahalli, no matter how big that restaurant was or how good it was.
I had been to Kammanahalli about 10years ago to visit a friend of mine, and didnt quite like that area. It was too dusty, and crowded and just didnt appeal to me. So, when my mom said 'Kammanahalli', immediately those scenes came rushing to my mind and I outrightly told a big 'NO'. It took a while for her to convince me that this place had some really good food, and that I could give it a shot. She even said if I didn't like the area, we would then go to some place in Indiranagar. But when I went there I was in for a pleasant surprise. Bright lights,branded shops,restaurants and chat houses were what I saw. Kammanahalli was now where people love to hang out in the evenings. After dinner, even I took a stroll on the road and felt how wrong I was about it.Since I now belong to this part of Bangalore, I sure know where I'm going to spend some of my evenings.

Am deeply hurt by what just happened in Mumbai, and am sure there are millions others who feel helpless with such an audacious terrorist attack in the heart of Mumbai.
I am definitely not going to talk about the apathy shown by our politicians,because there is no point.
But this is a time I think we should be proud by the way our armed forces have shown grit and courage to end the senseless killing spree by the terrorists.
Hats off to the men in uniform. The commandoes and the police personnel who lost their lives will be remembered for a long long time.Atleast,we have somebody we can turn to at a time of crisis.
I have immense pride in being an army officer's wife.
We need to act tough, be strong and determined to face any kind of challenge that comes our way.
