Bangalore
(Karnataka)
Garden City
Does your heart crave to see the whole world in one shot? If it does, head straight for the pensioners paradise turned urban jungle, Bangalore! A composite culture there is a little bit of the rest of the world in Bangalore's old world charm and new found opulence. The glass and steel monoliths, the beautiful lanes lined with Gulmohar trees, swanky malls, stores and restaurant, old bungalows and roads built by the British all co-exist here. Crowded roads and tiny lanes cramped with vehicles and animals, repair work and flyover construction, arrival of VIP's all come together in creating the city's infamous and inevitable traffic limbo. But Bangalore with its adjust maadi attitude takes it all in its stride while settling very nicely into its niche of being a true cosmopolitan city.
