Ulsoor Bazaar + West Park Road




'Old Bangalore' Style.


This man could be a character straight out of the 'Bangalore book' by a young writer named Srinath Perur that is going to be published soon. 

Earlier this month, I happened to listen to three stories from the unnamed book, at a reading by the authour, at Crossword. At the reading, I, along with about 50 other lucky people were transported back in time to the Bangalore we grew up in, in the 80s. Those days, brought alive by characters Srinath has created, or rather, brought back to life, around a street named Crescent Road. And the man above could have been one of the characters. 

Luckily, you don't have to wait for the book to come out to read one of the stories. It's your turn to go back in time. Here's one of the stories: The Middle Path by Srinath Perur.

And here's a picture of an Elephant Park slide, similar to the one you will find in the above story.

Forget Benglur's Mains and Crosses. This is a great place to discover new things and lose your way: At any of the second hand book shops in the MG Road area.

Hosur Road



Discovered! A new urban animal species.
And i'm not joking. A new species of ants was actually discovered within Bangalore city limits in 2006 at IISc. The ant species is named after the city and is called Dilobocondyla bangalorica.
And if you are crazy about ants, and if you live in Bangalore or anywhere on the Deccan peninsula, this colourful, informative and easy-to-use book should be your bible - On A Trail With Ants: A Handbook of the Ants of Peninsular India by Ajay Narendra & Kumar SM. To order your copy, email: antbook.india@gmail.com

I happened to attend an interesting conversation about this book at IIHS. They have a library that is open to public, and I urge Bangaloreans to use it. 









Like Bangalore Autodrivers I can only take you to places I like to go.
