Many people who are active on social media are aware about
some of most popular cities in India and lifestyle in those cities. Such a city
is Bangalore in South of India also called as IT hub of India. This city also has some
unique lifestyle and that makes it worth enjoying. A young Boy Rakesh who
passed his Engineering from Kanpur got placed in Bangalore in a MNC also enjoyed the lifestyle. He stayed here
for over a year and then went back to his small hometown for 1 week leave and
then he surprised many people there.
The first surprise from this boy came to a Traffic Policeman
Sunder Yadav at a traffic Signal. According to Sunder “The BOY ACTUALLY STOPPED
AT SIGNAL WHEN HE SAW RED LIGHT”. This was one of the rare moments for him as
he was not used to see such things in Kanpur. When Rakesh was asked to comment
on this, he told “He is used to it, it was not his intention to stop as no one
does here but it happened instantly, Each signal reminds me of Silk-Board Junction
in Bangalore, Been 1 year crossing that signal but still I need few extra seconds
to realize that oh yes now I can cross the Signal. I saw people staring at me after this as
if I am an alien “When other people were asked to comment on this in Kanpur ,
they told “ We don’t follow traffic lights because without power these lights
are mostly off and we are used to cross signals by our sense of power of bullying,
Mightier you are, earlier you cross signal.
The second surprise from this boy came to a waiter in a small
restaurant. When the waiter Raju delivered Chicken Tikka to Rakesh, Rakesh said
“THANK YOU”. Raju was shaken to the core by this thank you. As per him “log
yaha khana dene ke baad ek hi baat bolte hai , Bencho itni der me kyun la raha?
“ . Rakesh again told that this came instantly to him. He follows this practice
in Bangalore so he did here also. I didn’t realize I was in Kanpur until I saw
person sitting next to me fighting with waiter for extra-large leg piece.
The third surprise came to an auto driver Prakash .When
Rakesh took auto to his home from the city and Paid 30 Rs without bargaining, Prakash
was shocked. As per him “ Yaar itne saal
ho gaye, aaj tak bina kam-jyada kiye koi auto se nahi utra mere, ye launda naya
hai” . When asked to comment on this, Rakesh told that when the auto guy asked
me just 30 Rs for fare ,It sounded to me as if I was dreaming. In Bangalore I
used to pay 50 Rs just for 3 kms from Sony world to Domlur and here he just
asked 30 Rs for such long distance. I thought I was in profit until my mother
told me “ Auto wale ne Thag liya tere ko !!“
The Boy is still in Kanpur and not coming out from home as he is feeling alienated with all this and want to go back to Bangalore ASAP .:)
