THE GARDEN CITY. Review on Bangalore

Welcome to the Garden city of bangalore.Bangalore's founder Kempegowda while on a visit to the city encountered an old woman who served him

'Benda kaalu'which when translated means 'Baked beans'.Thereby bennda kalu became Bangalore.

Bangalore has a rich cultural heritage and is the capital city of karnataka.

It is a unique pot-pourri of the cosmopolitan and the rustic and a symbol of national unity because it houses people of all languages.

Bangalore is a place which caters to the need of each and every individual in a family .So it is an ideal holiday spot.The weather very pleasent through out the year is an added attraction.

CUBBON PARK- An ideal play spot for kida well of any age if u please.Lush green trees ,the horse rides ,the amusement section are all very inviting.The boat rides and the toy train are no miss items and yes age no bar so all you 'big' kids out there , discover the child in you.

LAL BAGH-One of india's most famous botanical gardens .The entire ambience is so refreshing and revitalising .It is yet unharmed by the pollution and the hullabaloo of the city.A mere walk through the garden is sheer bliss .The fountains, the glass houses are all very soothing to the mind and the soul.

VIDHANASOUDHA-This very well sculptured monument houses the sessions of the assembly regularly and is often in the news not for it's exquisite beauty but for all the commotion that takes place inside.well a visit inside needs government permission but the very joy of seeing it from the outside will

suffice.

SUMMERPLACE-The palce of tipu sultan built way down centuries is a very artistic example of the fine architecture of the yore.The TIGER OF MYSORE-Tipu Sultan used this paradise as his summer abode.

THE VISHWESHWARAIYA MUSEUM-it is dedicated to the marvels of science .it has many rooms each housing one discipline of science and technology.-

The innumerable gardens and parks add to the city's granduer.

SHOPPING-Bangalore is shopper's paradise .Right from the small curios to the elegant craft articles,

from the designer wear to the cheap imitations ,from the italian tacos to the very indian bhelpuri

name it you have .The Brigade road will serve as an ideal place for shopping and some entertaiment too.The food Courts offer you a variety of food along with the Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet,the Latinos and the Nilgiris pastry shop.

The shopping malls offer you with a wide range of choice along with video games archade and surfing centres for pleasure.

The silk emporiums offer very enchanting silk sarees at reasonable rates too

Say hello to b'lore's youth at the commercial street which serves as solely a shopping bonanza.the roadside vendors to the designer showrooms are all

very alluring but make sure you strike a good bargain with the roadside walas.

and while in bangalore dont forget to taste our Idli samber,our 'ChowChow' bath which is an item having the sweet dish'kesari bath'

and 'khara bath (upma)' both made out of rava but seasoned differently and our strong coffees.also in the rainy seasons dont miss our 'CHURMURI' a poorman's substitute of the bhelpuri

(vegetables,puffed rice with dash of spice)and our boiled or roasted corn doled out by our carts on the streets.

on the whole bangalore is unique blend of the fast life and the slow enchanting life of the past and strictly a bangalorean's advice-

one visit to bangalore and your dil will always maange more.
