You miss when you lose,
You long to be back for 100 reasons,
Or for none

It's not just the people,
But also the traffic and coffee.
From city that never sleeps,
To city of virtues.
Hailing from God's own country,
To migrating to city of Nawabs
I have tried it all.

It's not the hospitality I miss,
But an aura that Bengaluru brings.
My dreams, and saddness,
My hopes, and madness,
My friends and best among them,
My secrets and lies,
All kept binded there.
I miss,
As I long to come back.

// Bangalore //

Bangalore is the playboy
everybody adores,
It's loud, unapologetic
and aloof.

It rains without an alarm in Bengaluru
It’s never too warm in Bengaluru

Politics is common but never religious
No leader exploits Lord Ram in Bengaluru

Our neighbours are from all over India
They mind their own kaam in Bengaluru

Hallis, mangalas & nagars might be the tech hubs,
There are also lakes & farms in Bengaluru

Kannadigas have adopted outsiders as their own,
Nobody means any harm in Bengaluru.

They ask me, Harsh, why would you betray Dilli?
Well, my raging heart found calm in Bengaluru.

There’s one thing
I like about Bengaluru.

It never thunders.
It just rains.

Quite like you.

Visit my city

Neither the speed of Mumbai nor the greed of Delhi,
Life runs a little lowly, a little slowly in Bengaluru.

Banquets of beef curries or bars & breweries,
There is nothing that’s too holy in Bengaluru.

Cute English, cuter Hindi, the cutest Kannada
You will find every endearing “boli” in Bengaluru.

Its traffic might steal away your sense of adventure,
Soon, you will find you’re more homely in Bengaluru.

Entire India comes to settle in this city of startups,
Give it few years, uthti hai sab ki doli in Bengaluru.

Be it Flipkart’s Bansals or Infy’s Murthys,
Even Mallya made his billions wholly in Bengaluru.

It was supposedly home to the one & only Dravid,
The IPL team now has Kohli in Bengaluru.

Kind weather, tall trees, don’t you now complain Harsh,
10 million of you & still you feel so lonely in Bengaluru.

दिन-ब-दिन बेंगलुरु तुझे
पहले से अच्छा लगता जा रहा है
पता नहीं बेंगलुरु दिल्ली सा
या तू बेंगलुरु सा होता जा रहा है
