The rates have gone up...

That is how the vegetable and fruit vendors in Bangalore "mourned" the death of their beloved actor Dr. Rajkumar.

Some of the other ways people mourned in Bangalore :
- Police beating up innocent bystanders
- Not so innocent bystanders beating up the police
- A news cameraman getting bitten!
- Burning buses and smashing car windscreens
- Auto rickshaw drivers in general charging 20Rs more
- All channels other than news channels on cable tv getting blacked out.

Saw lots of people generally frolicking and having fun on the roads burning tires and other misc things.

A few of us couldn't even properly say bye to a close friend who is leaving Bangalore tomorrow :(

I hate to think what might have happened to this city if by chance Dr. Rajkumar hadn't passed away due to natural causes...
