Ready for our holidays to take off... Landed in Bangalore My daughter and I started our holiday to South India with a red eye flight to Bangalore on 15th early morning ...   In Bangalore we booked an uber from the airport since Ola taxis were far more expensive than the latter ... So We landed at MM's home at 5am and were greeted vv warmly at that early early hour by MM & DU ... had some choi and chatted till 6.30 am and then it was shut eye till noon...

Remanats of a vibrant past...
