Why couldn't I let Vishakapatnam be itself.
Very excited about doing a new city.
Eager to see what's it like.
Did I have any preconceptions/notions about this city? What did I already know about this place?
Well Yes I did!
Hmm.. Let's attempt listing them and alongside note reactions
- Andra Pradesh means South India - Yes. Has dark men, curly hair women, wear lungi, have ornate colourful temples.
- Language problem- Surprisingly not! Unlike Chennai and other TN cities.. Most Vizag people can understand and speak a little bit of Hindi.
- Hot and sticky- Not at all, lovely weather.. Good mix of the coastal breeze and the crisp hilly air.
- Industrial belt hence polluted and dirty- Not at all. Very well structured and planned city.. Wide roads, graffiti on the street walls, not over developed.. A good balance between the makaans and the towers.
Important story here is.. I kept comparing the city to other cities..
Is it dirty or humid sticky like Chennai.
Will it be crowded like Hyderabad.
The feel of the city and its up down slopes are like Bangalore.
Weather is like Goa.
People are from all over the country... Like Pune.
Wonder why I wasn't able to let Vishakapatnam be itself.
