Ofcourse, bangalore kannada is completely different, kind of slang compared to other northern karnataka districts.
Well i love it coz its slang and it has a completely different accent especially compared to hindi and english.
I picked up or rather confess forced to learn kannada. I could only read and write and mug all the answers i hated kannada.
But during college days i was forced to learn, as kannada was never a medium of communication esp in a cosmopolitan city like bangalore.
Funny part is you speak to rik drivers in kannada they are so damn happy though i completely agree, bangalore is a cosmo city now.

haha that is so true! my driver in blr was so thrilled with my efforts to speak kannada. in the beginning, i was only able to say “AC on madri, AC off madri” but towards the end of my stay i’d graduated from elementary kannada he also introduced me to kannada music during my travels, and i am now hooked.. mungaru male, milana, savi savi nenapu… lovely music! i was shocked to discover that shreya ghoshal and sonu nigam had sung them!

getting back to ugadi.. during my childhood, we used to procure somet called mandige which was a crispy sweet roti, a bangalore ugadi specialty… it used to come in kilos… anyone know where that can be gotten?

i am homesick now!
