"Nanna Bengalooru"

"Bangalore - The Garden city of India" is now "Bengalooru - Silicon city of the world".. Be it Bangalore or Bengalooru... still the place where i grew up is one of the best places in India... very close to my heart...

Initially when i came to this city from Tamil Nadu... I had a sense of not being connected... be it the colour of the people (as i m very dark.. unlike the fair people here...) or the language (Tamil vs Kannada...) etc etc.. but later got used to all these as the city has much more to offer you than what you could possibly think ...

Instant happiness ... thats what Bangalore to me is...

Now or before, whenever a relative walks in to our house.. who is new to Bangalore... the 1st place we would show them is the "Lalbagh"... I would have seen Lal bagh atleast about a 40 times... but even now... can anyone imagine such a beautiful place with lots and lots of green...

If you are a bangalorean.. you probably should have had a glimpse of these sights... atleast once.....

The early morning joggers (early morning to me is 7.30 AM.. and I am sorry if that is not early for you..) in Lal Bagh ... old uncles and aunties walking briskly in the morning to get some fresh air... wonderful sights...

Or be it eating cotton candies and popcorns outside Vidhan Soudha... at around 6:30 PM... with young couples sitting on those steps....

Just as the name tells you... Silicon City of the World... The sight of the "International Tech Park" is just amazing... .. its such a majestic building catering IT services to the rest of the world...

Visit to the ISKCON temple is a beautiful sight... the cleanliness of the temple... the bhajans... the hot hot prasadha's they have to offer.. is just hmmm.... :-).. or paying a visit on Thursdays to the Infant Jesus Church....

Famous DOLBY digital theatres like Urvashi (famous among college goers.. as the ticket cost is.. sorry was pretty economical... ).. Plaza (for english movies... i remember i watched Jurassic Park here... ).. Puttana (i have watched many many Kannada movies here.. :D)... and now its PVR... .

Coming to the hotels... how can one forget MTR ... which is not only famous in Bengalooru... but worldwide... KAMAT Yatrinivas (jolada rotti.. hmmm.. yummy..)... Sukh Sagar and Shanti Sagar (chain of restaurants... )...

How can one forget the shopping experience in M.G.Road... one of the oldest shopping places in bangalore and most crowded (especially by foreigners..)... a walk on M.G.Road at around 7 PM will give you the true spirit of the city...

If you are a student... or were a student... you would not have missed going to the Avenue Road... (guides.... and 2nd hand books.. and returning of old books... etc...etc....flooded with students ... )

Crunch game of India vs Pakistan.. could never be so excited if not in Chinnaswamy Stadium... where Aamir Sohail vs Venkatest Prasad was a dream to watch...

Be it Jayaprakash Nagar (J.P.Nagar) to the Jayanagar.... from the coffee house.. to the coffee days.... from the BMTC's ... to the AC Vajra Volvo's..... from the Forum Mall's.. to the Bannerghatta National Park... Bangalore is a city for joy... city of happiness for the youth..... city of liesure for old people... city for young IT aspirants looking for job.....
its a city for you.....
its a city for me.....
Everyone are welcome.... THAT IS THE REASON THEY ARE BUILDING NEW FLYOVERS... AND METROS.... :-)
