Hubli :)

"When you are enjoying life, years pass and you don't seem to be bothered."

It has been 2 years and 2 months, that I have spent my first professional life here in Hubli. It is needless to say that it was an awesome experience. So, I am writing down the Hubli I have seen :).

As we know Hubli-Dharwad is the second largest city in Karnataka after Bangalore. They are also called as "Twin Cities". The distance between Hubli and Dharwad is just 18kms. The district is Dharwad .

When you visit Hubli, the first thing you observe is Chennama circle, It is the landmark of Hubli.
It has Kittur Queens Statue who died while fighting against English Rule. The Rani Chennamma sitting on the Big Horse with her sword raised, and the wonderful thing is the both front legs of Horse are raised reflecting horse in Jumping and Attacking position.

The best part of Hubli is the traffic is not that running high as compared to Bangalore. You can leave at 6.30pm for 7pm show in any theater that is at-least 10-15km far. You will also have time to buy snacks also.

The best attraction lies in Koppikar road. When I visited Hubli for the first time on Aug 2012, Koppikar road was one stop shop for all the requirements .

You have theaters, Shopping centers and good road side food and also few multi-cuisine restaurants .

Later in the next year, the competitors were born . Now we have Oasis mall in Gokul road which is also a good place to hang out .

The bus frequency is more , when you are travelling towards Dharwad. You will get a bus every 5mins .

So, if you are staying near by in Highway then you will not have any problem of travel .

But here within 2 years there are lot of development happening .

We have BVB campus who organizes many events and the fun was there .

I was also a part of Marathon which for “Vote for India” pledge and the distance was 14km and I am happy that I have completed .

Unlike big cities, here the choice are limited . If you want to go to swimming , then there is only 2 choice :D . Similarly gym with physical trainer here you will get is seldom in your area .

Here, the weekends were almost as busy as working days this is because every alternate week we used to go to some new place,falls,restaurants, dabba ..etc

Here we were Movie-holice, atleast one movie every week was in our routine . Once we had the Multiplex running, tuesday was our favorite day as the price was 100rs .

Other weekend activities involved cooking and having timepass in room.

Playing Cards,Uno,Mafia,Chess was time pass games.

We played Football tournament and emerged as winners by beating the Brazil team working for Marco Polo.
