HI

I am a mum of 13 and 9 year old sons.Came to Bangalore 3 weeks ago to join my husband who is the Brew Master at The Biere Club.Haven't had time to do any thing else in past 3 weeks except looking for the schools for our children.They did the entrance test @ TISB and passed but on their waiting list because the school has no vacancies for their grades.Then tried Inventure Academy...and finally got in.Now they are starting school from next Monday..........
I am a Sri Lankan by birth.Worked as a legal officer @ the HDFC Sri Lanka.Got married and went to Japan with my husband.Lived there 7 years and migrated to New Zealand and became kiwis.
Now as we are starting a new life here would like to make friends and enjoy the life in Bangalore.

Good to know that your kids have managed to get into school. You may be able to relax and enjoy Bangalore in a couple of months after kids' school becomes a routine affair.

I don't live at Bangalore but am a Bangalorean. Will be visiting the city in late August/September 2012 again and will be staying for a month. Definitely would like to meet up with your family if it is alright for you to have single middle-aged man as a family friend.

Thanks for the reply. Sure, will try to get in touch with him. I haven't been to The Biere Club yet (never heard of the place until recently) and was planning a visit there anyway.
