Mozart's is what they call it and truly doing justice to the name they brew some of the finest coffee in the town. Located at the lakefront this is a real good place to sit on a rickety wooden bench and devour a book as you quitely sip on your coffee. Student's, elders, couples, book lovers and all other species line up for the rich serene experience.
Evening 7 pm is still a hot sunny time down here. So me and my friend settled down on a bench soaking the warmth of the sun reflecting from the clear lake waters. We talked about a few important things and then lot about unimportant things [they just seem to come by]. A turtle or two swam close by in circles.. probably they expected me to part with a piece of my cheesecake.. nah! In the distance a weirdo overdid his ski-jet stunts and a cop hauled up a big party boat.. guess he expected them to have just a few pepsi and colas on a party??!!
Troubled where all this takes you..? 2 hrs of quality time without the crowds getting to your nerves, a place to eat all the desserts you want without the waiters pestering you even once and all this in the heart of a city. I never remotely dreamt of anything close except maybe in hill stations and other such bollywoodish places.
So as the Sun made way for the stars and the moon suddenly I slapped my arm real hard. As with the quality of certain things mosquitoes also do get better in US [wherever they are found]. The stagnant waters of the lakes openly welcome all species of living things. But for that, so good is the place that even a 40 mile to and fro drive does not bring down my spirts in any way.
Bangalore, do you hear it?
Plan to make it a weekend reading getaway.......
Au revoir
