Its been 10 months since I have been waiting for this moment............. leaving Mysore and going back to Delhi. To be honest, I disliked this place from the very moment I stepped here. I was coming from Chandigarh,one of the best cities in this country, and it was my first stint of stay ever in south India. Only after arrival here, did I realise that there is a strong and invisible divide between the north and south.In fact, here in the south, people almost tend to treat you like foreigners once they come to know that you don't share either their looks or have any little knowledge of the language they speak.For the first time I realised that its really amazing that we call ourself one country and are bound by one law because the under that one roof,the rooms are so strongly built that there is really not much that one can hear of what goes on in the other.
However, the last few months have softened my outlook about Mysore.... thanks to some of the nice people that I have come of befriend.In fact,I surely would remember this place for its weather and beauty and at the end of the day, I am really happy that Mysore happened to me.
However, the bottomline is that I am going back to where I belong and that thought leaves a big smile on my face.So, I shall be back in the same avatar talking sweet salt and bitter once I settle down.Till then, ciao!

Hi Prashanth,
Nice blog my opinion about this topic its the same everywhere. I am sure south indians going to Delhi would feel the same. Generally in North India all 4 south Indian states are categorized as 'Madrasi' when infact I want to scream and say nahi bhai I am not Madrasi I am from Karnataka - a 'kannadiga'. We have a big gap to build the bridge so its India on the whole that needs to improve rather than just one city :)
Do you agree?
