For Jalahalli, from Mumbai
Punha Drama
After a gap of more than two and a half decades, I saw a Marathi play again. I was too young to remember the name of the play I last saw but I did see a few Marathi plays back then.

Church Street
19s. Headbangalore.
The basement garage was called Hangar 19 (Inspired by Megadeth's Hangar 18) on certain weekends when local bands like Crimson Storm and Spiritual Warfare played.
Names that are similar to the games these kids are playing.

Sometimes it's nice to see a familiar face from the last century.

Bellary Road - NH7
A hospital.
Birth, Death and all the pain in between. To ease it, you can buy yourself a comfortable insurance, be good to your family so that they stick around when you are in trouble and if you haven't done these two things, go pray.

All kinds of new imagery on the streets of Vishala Karnataka. It's now clear that it's a BJP ruled state.

Outer Ring Road
Best view.
These boys were waiting to have a ring side view of the K1000 2009 race. While the grown up boys who had come to watch had a tough time finding a parking spot for their underpowered toys with flashy stickers, these boys had no trouble parking their single wheeled toys.

A message from another age, in another country, survives in Bangalore. And what your local Goorkha is doing on his nightly whistling rounds.

Goodbye Garden City
Salaam. Vandanegalu.
It's time to say goodbye to daily photographs on this blog. Over the last 3 years, during my second innings in this city, I have seen more of the city than during my two and a half decades long first innings. That is thanks to a hobby called photography that I discovered along with thousands of other foot-soldiers of the digital camera brigade.
Work is taking me to Mumbai, for a second innings there. This blog will now be updated only during my visits home and I'm hoping that it will be often.
In Mumbai, the city that's always on the move, I'm not sure if I'll be clicking as often as I did in Benglur. But if I find the time to click pictures, they will be posted here at

Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple Road
Breakfast time at Nammoora Patashaale!
To discover the real India, Gandhi asked us to go to the villages. And luckily for us in Benglur, we don't have to go far. The tentacles of the city spread across and around villages and the Hallis became Nagars and Towns, with pockets that still retain the city's old roots. For example, this is the school at Gavipuram Guttahalli.

Rest House Crescent
The weather was classic Bangalorean. The smell of last evening's rain filled the air as workers dug up yet another narrow stretch. There was a cool breeze, warm afternoon sunshine filtering through tall trees, slow-moving cars looking for that elusive parking space, a school girl on her bicycle exchanging a love note with a boy from another school, well-dressed executives reluctantly rushing back to work after a large lunch and the smell of marijuana floated in from under the thick foliage of the Rest House Crescent Park. All this and more was happening on the Rest House Crescent Road on a Thursday afternoon but Mr Mazumdar was busy in his own world. He sat on the pavement outside an old Bangalore home, sketching and preserving the building's little details on paper, before it disappeared. He told me that he has been doing this for 19 years now.
