I had to drop off some relatives in the railway station the night before the festival. The idea was to also pick up an idol during this trip. Having left pretty early for the 1045 train, we felt it would give us time to drop off my uncle and aunt, and then pick up the idol within an earthly hour on the way back. The traffic near National Market proved us wrong and we reached the station just in time, and thus were back in the vicinity of koramangala only around 1130pm.
Needless to say, despite a half hearted drive around, we found no idol seller. However, and that brings me to the essence of this post, what we did find open everywhere were Wine Shops. And crowded. Brisk business. I dont know exactly what the right emotions were that crossed my mind - amusement, irony, anger, disappointment... but it was a curious mix of feelings that made me write this post.
More later folks
