Relaxed after my holiday

I have returned home after a week long holiday. I am sooo sooo relaxed now and have realized a few things this past week. The biggest realization being, I cant stand the heat. Second, Bangalore is truly a developed place and third, Bangalore is by no means a slow city.
I had been to a few places in Karnataka, also had been to my Bros college. He is in his final year, so had to visit his place once at least while he is studying. Had been to the Jog Falls, Amazing waterfall.
I will have to give you the detailed trip report a bit later, but for now, I want to just say that the heat in some of the North west parts of karnataka and the coastal areas are really unbearable. It is sooo hot and sultry there. I kept sweating and sweating. It was totally unbearable. The heat and also the humidity. I only wonder how my bro is coping for the last 3 years in such environment.
It is crazy. The good news of it all is that I have lost considerable weight during the trip. The bad news is that i have become dark now.
The other very striking thing I noticed is that In Karnataka, after Bangalore, to an extent Mysore, not much of the state is actually close to developed. I have heard Hubli also being a very much developing city, but seeing the condition of roads and the standard of the hotels and shops around some of the places, I was feeling like these places are easily 20 years behind Bangalore in development. At times, there were no roads on the supposed roads. We were driving on stones and dirt which was supposed to be a highway. The hotels and shopping places looked like mere buildings with some old fasioned shops and stores. Not many people go to malls i guess.
Also the pace of life is very slow, man who told that Bangalore life is slow. I was wondering how people in the country side would actually do time pass. People were walking around back from thier fields to thier homes, or were chatting at the village bania shop. They were walking at thier own pace and it all seemed like we were having enough time to do nothing in our lives.
But on the positive side, I am so happy to see so much greenary and Jungle around in Karnataka. Again giving me enough evidence that there is an amazing population of wildlife in this state and is in very good health. People living in harmony with the wildlife.
I came to a realization that me being born and brought up in Bangalore and in city life, it is very difficult for me to have a slow paced life. also that for such a life, I am missing all the beautiful things around in nature around us. So much have I got into this city mode and work and all that taking a week off and in the first couple of days of doing nothing and sitting at home made me get fever and sickness due to change in routine. I had to live on tablets and medicine for a couple of days so that my trip is not affected due to my illness. Well it went on well. Great.
I will be giving a detailed trip report over the weekend...
