My weekend walk down MG road

I walking down MG road this evening doing my usual routine. I walk down from the Brigade road intersection down till the St Marks intersection. I usually grab my few weekly mags at the news stand, my softee infront of Plaza and possibly a few ground nuts in front of Foodworld. I walk into some of the book shops to drool at some books that I'd like to buy for some day in the not so distant future...
I was noticing that the number of foreigners on MG road was at a record high. I crossed one every 6-7 feet. Quite an amazing influx of visitors from overseas to good old Bangalore. There was some incidents we observed as well...
There was this street site hawker holding a bunch of these plastic snakes that look so REAL! He ran into a bunch of overseas visitors and was trying his sales tricks on one of them. The man was for a moment shocked... he stared in disbelief...and blurted out...."What do you expect me to do with it?" Sounding very perplexed and matter of factly he said..."Why do I need one of these?"..... I was laughing and in splits....
A set of youngsters were walking down and approaching us briskly. There were this couple of white women walking ahead of us. One of these guys bumped into one of these girls...possibly intentionally...and the lady was founded cursing this bloke for his insenstitiveness. Bang-galored eh?!
