Namma BengaLooru
By two coffee, filter kapi,
Steaming idlis soaked in divine chutney
SLV's , Darshini's, teeming with harried citizenry
Temples and rock shows ,rustling along
Pub hopping, or salsa dancing
Stroll down memory lanes
Sidewalks disappearing, yet gives way to green
Peaceful, hospitable, pensioner's paradise
Tags of era gone by
It city, pub city, silicon yet no identity
Floundering along far away.
Language barrier broken into
Smiles aplenty for me or you.
Wide roads, mud roads, narrow streets
Lalbagh, Cubbon park, landmarks giving lung space
BMTC roars along, while the lesser mortals cruise past
Give way to the majestic Autos, traffic is stairway to hell
Weather so pleasant you forget moments were dull.
Warm welcome to one and all
'City of boiled beans', isn't that what she was called
Bangalore to BengaLooru
Does it matter?
Our hearts still remain open to all
In response to Totally optional prompts in the regional category.
