Getting directions in Bangalore
Swalpa mundha (Just ahead) - It is atleast 500 metres from where you are.
Straight hogi - No. It is anything but straight. You would have started before the guy completed giving his instructions. He would have actually meant, go straight, you will get a circle. Turn left at that circle. Go straight for another 500 metres and ask yet another person for directions.
Straiiighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhtttttttttttttttt Hogi - Forget it. You are no where near the destination. Atleast 3 to 4 kms to go.
2nd left, 3rd right - There are that many roads in this area. So the address you ask might be in any of these left or rights. It all depends on how you interpret. You never asked the person giving directions, from where you need to take the second left or 3rd right, right?

Yes. Right.
Actually, left ! I mean, he left before you took the right ! That is if you get the Mains and the Crosses. Your life can be well laid out !
How i miss them !
Actually, swalpa adjust maadi is the best direction sign ! Anywhere in the county !

It took few years for me to understand that the ‘circle’ need not be a circle always!

Last week, I wanted to goto Hotel PaiVijay (from South End Circle).
I started this expedition at South End Circle. “Sir, how to goto hotel pai vijay”. You go straight for 5 minutes and take right.
I did.
It was hotel “Pai Viceroy”. To the security of Pai Viceroy “how to goto pai Vijay”. Go straight and take left.
I did.
I landed at Jaya Nagar 4th block. To a bakery owner “how to goto pai Vijay”. Go straight, take right, opposite to cool joint.
I did.
Landed near cool joint. To the security of cool joint “how to goto pai Vijay”. Take this road, 3rd right, corner building.
I did.
Reached Pai Vijay.
I would have walked 2 Kms totally

When they say “Dead End” it does not mean dead end, but a place where u have to take either left or right, but cannot go straight.
