survived a lawn mower session at a hairdressers last weekend in Bengaluru which set me thinkin of all what one tends to miss as we move cities … here’s my ‘missing’ list:

1. Ok, for starts my barber sorry hair dresser!
2. The newspaper/s ~ the Mumbai Times TOI habit is long forgotten!!
3. The TV channel numbers eg. 22 for NDTV, 55 for VH1, 60 for Asianet (Mellu tendencies die hard!!)
4. The doctor/dentist combine and comfort zones that they provide
5. The restaurant habit especially the home delivery story
6. The Mumbai/erstwhile city routine of wake up at 7-8am, laze, vanity check/fix that includes shower/s@#t/Shave et al…
7. The vernacular accent depending on the region and level of ease of passing off as a local/alien who masquerades as a person who spills a few words!
8. and of the people that make a place what it is to me …
