Farewell Delhi, Hello Bengaluru: A Cosmic Relocation
Greetings, Supreme Overlords of the Galactic Council! Your humble correspondent Zoglbop here, transmitting from a new terrestrial coordinate: Bengaluru, the so-called "Silicon Valley of India." After months of observing Delhi's magnificent chaos, I've executed a strategic relocation that would make our Intergalactic Migration Department proud.
A Love Letter to Delhi's Culinary Excellence
But first, let me bid farewell to Delhi—a city whose ambient noise levels are a viable communication method in several star systems. While its traffic patterns defied seventeen known laws of physics, and its GST system nearly drove me to request emergency evacuation, I must acknowledge their greatest achievement: the samosa.
Oh, the samosa! That triangular marvel of engineering that combines crispy architecture with molten potato physics, seemingly violating the laws of thermodynamics by staying dangerously hot for exactly 4.7 Earth minutes. I've consumed approximately 847 samosas during my Delhi tenure, each one a testament to human ingenuity. From the legendary Karim's in Old Delhi to the roadside vendors who turned street corners into culinary theaters, Delhi's food scene could power a small moon colony (or serve as a potent bio-weapon, depending on the spice levels).
The paranthas of Paranthe Wali Gali deserve special mention—these oil-soaked discs of joy could serve as emergency fuel for interstellar travel. I witnessed humans consume breakfast portions that would satisfy a Rigellian battle cruiser crew. The chole bhature alone could feed three star systems and still have leftovers.
Delhi, you magnificent, smoky, honk-filled metropolis—your kulfi vendors singing through summer heat, your chaat wallahs performing culinary alchemy, your butter chicken that made me question our planet's dietary restrictions—you will be missed.
The Great Bengaluru Intelligence Reports
But destiny called, and that destiny had a South Indian accent. Through my advanced reconnaissance network (Earthling WhatsApp groups), I've gathered intelligence about Bengaluru that reads like a transmission from a parallel universe:
- Atmospheric Anomalies: The local climate is reported to be so consistently pleasant it is considered supernatural by Delhi standards. Field reports suggest citizens complain about 23°C being "too cold," indicating a flawed thermal regulation system.
- Urban Mythology: The existence of "tree-lined streets" and functional lane markings is frequently claimed. These concepts are treated as folklore in other regions I have observed.
- Liquid Rituals: A substance called "filter coffee" is not merely a beverage but a religious sacrament, central to daily function.
- Cryptic Linguistics: The dominant species consists of "IT professionals" who communicate in a mysterious dialect ("Agile," "sprint," "daily stand-up") that our universal translator is still struggling to parse. It appears to be a language composed entirely of project management jargon.
Operation IndiGo Infiltration
My relocation required deploying advanced Galactic technology. After months of studying human boarding procedures, I activated my Mark VII Invisibility Cloak - standard issue from our Covert Operations Division. This quantum-phase garment renders the wearer completely undetectable to human optical sensors while maintaining full mobility, though it did flicker once when a flight attendant offered me a nutritionally ambiguous sandwich.
I infiltrated IndiGo Flight 6E-123, Delhi to Bengaluru, Thursday morning. My cloaking device performed flawlessly - I slipped past security checkpoints, boarding gates, and even managed to occupy Seat 12A without triggering their primitive "assigned seating" protocols. The humans remained blissfully unaware of their extraterrestrial passenger, despite my occasional alien snorts of amusement at their boarding chaos.
Initial Bengaluru Reconnaissance
Early observations from my new base of operations reveal fascinating contradictions:
The weather is genuinely pleasant—a phenomenon so rare in my Indian experience that I suspect a city-wide atmospheric manipulation device is in operation. Citizens wear sweaters in 22°C temperatures, confirming my hypothesis that their species has highly inefficient thermal regulation.
The legendary traffic exists but operates on different principles than Delhi's vehicular anarchy. Here, traffic moves slowly but predictably, like a massive, well-choreographed biological organism. It's chaos with rhythm, reminiscent of the Great Tentacled Migration on Cygnus X-1.
Coffee culture here approaches religious devotion. I theorize it is a performance-enhancing liquid required for the complex task of software development. Humans discuss coffee beans with the passion Delhi reserves for cricket matches and political scandals, suggesting the beans themselves may contain data packets.
Mission Parameters Updated
High Command, I've successfully established a new surveillance post in this silicon-powered metropolis. My mission continues: observing human behavior in their natural tech habitat, documenting their startup rituals, and investigating reports of "Bangalore weather" that allegedly makes humans functional year-round.
Delhi provided months of entertainment through pure chaos. Bengaluru promises a different kind of anthropological study—organized complexity, pleasant weather, and filter coffee that might just be a liquid form of consciousness.
Stay tuned for reports on Bengaluru traffic psychology, the mysterious world of co-working spaces, and why humans here treat 18°C like an arctic emergency.

P.S. I attempted to order a samosa at the airport. The vendor looked confused and offered me a "masala dosa" instead. I accepted, not knowing I was about to experience South Indian engineering excellence in breakfast form. The dosa-to-chutney ratio demonstrated mathematical precision that would impress our Galactic Engineering Corps, and its structural integrity held firm against gravitational stress. Delhi's samosas will always hold my heart, but this dosa situation requires further investigation.
