Weird Feeling - Mangalore to Bangalore

My wife and I are from different parts of Karnataka; I'm originally from Bangalore, and she's from Mangalore. I visit Mangalore every other month, and I often find the return to Bangalore's fast-paced, materialistic lifestyle somewhat disappointing. I'm pleasantly surprised by the kindness I encounter in Mangalore, which contrasts with my experience in Bangalore. Furthermore, the people of Mangalore seem less commercially driven and more content with their lives.
