A Much-Needed Break: A Trip to Bangalore

After a long and busy schedule, this trip was truly a much-needed break. Our visit to SAICS in Bangalore was something we had been eagerly looking forward to, especially since it was the college where my father studied. Traveling from Delhi was quite a long journey, taking two nights and a full day.

We traveled by the Rajdhani Express, which brought back memories of journeys from years ago when the train had just been introduced. I fondly remembered a family trip to Kerala, where we had especially enjoyed the food on the train, like breadsticks and soup, which are no longer served. This time, I carried a half-read book hoping to finish it, and I had also downloaded a few movies since there would be no network during the journey. However, I was so tired that I ended up sleeping most of the time. I was awake only during meal times and for a few hours in the evening.

We arrived early in the morning, which was quite unexpected. At the railway station, feeling hungry, we bought idlis, the biggest ones I had ever seen! From there, we booked an Ola cab to reach our place of stay. The ride felt both different from and similar to Delhi, though there was very little traffic, probably because it was early morning.

After reaching, we soon headed to the college. We were provided accommodation in hostel rooms that were comfortable and almost like hotel rooms. After freshening up, we went for a walk around the campus. There were many trees and greenery all around, which made it feel very different from Delhi. The roads were neat and clean, and the weather was pleasant.

As we returned to our room, I felt that there was still so much more to explore, and we had a few hours ahead to enjoy and discover the place.
