How to spot a Bangalorean
Hindustan TimesThere is a face that a Bangalorean will make when you ask him to do something. Then we can just get along and have a by-two coffee together.” Shoba Narayan As an honorary Bangalorean, I have spotted this face often– in plumbers and mechanics, sales managers and sari-sellers. It is a face with a hand gesture as if you are grasping a lotus stem– along with a look that says, “Swalpa adjust maadi” or “Please adjust.” Bangaloreans do this often without drama or fuss. “The living is easy” and not just in “summertime.” The other reason for the Bangalorean’s ability to adapt and adjust is because Karnataka is perhaps more varied than most other states. There is Coastal Karnataka or Tulu Nadu with its distinctive Tulu language, culture and rituals like Bhoota Kola, made famous by the movie, Kantara.
