Oh Bangalore I love and envy you!

When I touch the city’s limits

The coolness and comfort

Go several grades up

The temperature dips several degrees down

A pleasant inverse

To traverse!

A city still to be explored in full

What little explored

Enthralls  me no end

A garden city

With a garden adorning each locality-

Is just one special in this

Enclave of specials!

A dress-shoppers’ delight

With myriads of designs

And shades all fitting

Even a shallow pocket

Weight based sales of dresses

Ensure more dresses for the

Same pennies to get a few elsewhere

Making one love a lot

This great Bangalore!

The yummy fast food eateries

The beverage serving pubs

Make it a nice place to toast!

A tasty and yummy

Bangalore!

Once unheard of  Shivaji nagar

Kempe gowda circle,

The famed vishveshwaraya museum

The wonderful lalbagh

The gracious  Vidhan soudha

All get familiar

As I explore and cherish

The joy of joys

That is Bangalore!

A tourists’ delight

Multi-language speaking

Diverse needs catering

All region blokes sheltering Bangalore!

My own Tamil gets common

In chats and trades

Solace to know this is a city

For my own Tamils,

Thank you Bangalore!

A haven for IT behemoths

Heaven for the working genies

A destination to note

On the sprawling world map itself

Salam Bangalore! I love you and envy

I love for your beauty and comfort

Envy for you are not my own city!

A city to be transported to their own city

If only one had the means and methods to do it

Yea, the enviable Bangalore!

Still dark sides cloud and shroud

The dazzling Bangalore

Linguistic feuds 

Centuries old Cauvery water disputes

Putting it’s head to shame

Now and then-

Uncharacteristic for a characterful city

Shake them off Bangalore!

Show to the world

You are as nice as you appear

Making you a more lovable

More enviable Bangalore!
