This short
piece is dedicated to all folks in Sobha Palladian who love Asterix Comix!
We are a
small group of 100 families residing in a quaint community in the midst of
bustling Marathahalli, Bangalore. We are a peace loving, eco-friendly, honest
tax paying and God-fearing citizens.
We work
hard, play hard & drink hard!
Not unlike the
famous Gauls in the Gaulish village in the middle of the Roan empire.
Our Palladian
is built on the similar lines as the Greek and Roman temples with symmetric
architecture, white stone benches, marble floors, granite sidings with
fountains and waterbodies, paved pathways and wide spaces for our elders to meet
and discuss. We also hold open air Durbars from time to time.
And in many ways,
we resemble those indomitable Gauls too. We have our own popular Chief, and a
few others who can easily pass off as Fulliautomatix. You can spot a few Obelix, and for every
problem raised on the WhatsApp group there are a few Getafix who can give
instant Fixes!
Geriairx ? We have in great numbers, including my dad at
89. You can see them in the evenings. At times, this place looks like a super
luxury old age home!
And how
about Impedimenta, Bacteria & Amnesia??
We can boast
of better ladies than the Gauls! They come
in all sizes and shapes each one more eye catching than the other! You should
have seen them at the last Sunday ONAM celebrations.
WOW!!
And you better
be careful and watch your step while roaming around here. You can easily get distracted, trip over
the fountain edge and land up in the drink. Just like the way Duryodhana walked
into water while gawking at Draupadi!
And we men
are very possessive about our ladies! Mind it !!
Other characters?
Of course, there are many more!
But I refuse
to risk my life and my peaceful life @ Palladian!
Krish..
Great and enjoyed the analogy
