Sunbathing.
There are days in Benglur when you can have all four seasons during the course of a day. And here's a man enjoying a brief spell of summer.

Meanee Avenue/Ulsoor Lake
Which Nallah? What Drain? Series.
It takes a brave heart to step in to the primordial sludge that fills the Gowri-Ganesha immersion tank carved out of the Ulsoor Lake on the Meanee Avenue, Kensington Road and AM Road intersection.
See the full Which Nallah? What Drain? Series here.

Sandalwood Friday Movie Release.
If there's a good movie release, the handicapped (and the aged) blackmarket ticket sellers manage to make a few bucks. Today's bigger draw seems to be a movie called Prem Kahani. With stiff competion from Shivarajkumar's Bhagyada Balegara.

Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan Road
The Tale Of Two Peaks. Part 3.
The abandoned quarry at Chickabettahalli is a large bowl spread over over a hundred acres. It is pretty enough to be developed into a public space with interesting walkways, a little lake and clever lighting at night.
But the fact is that the Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan Road is a four lane road that provides easy access to the new airport to the western part of the city. So it's not surprising that the corner of the bowl is being filled up right now to make way for future development. The cost of transporting mud and filling up this massive crater is probably lower than the market rate for the land or is it one of the site chosen for dumping the Namma Metro earthwork?
Time will tell.

Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan Road
Blast hole for dynamite charge.
The Tale of Two Peaks. Part 2
There's nothing as precious as a hole in ground. And the abandoned, big toilet bowl like quarries at Bettahalli, that were once the highest points in Benglur is no exception (read part 1 of the story about the twin peaks of Bettahalli here). For decades, these rocks were blasted, cut and shipped all over the city.
Artha or Money in Kannada.
There was a time when granite was very cheap in and around Benglur. Slabs were used as compound walls, fencing, culverts and you can still see some very old abandoned homes and waiting stations for bullock carts outside surrounding villages like Kodigehalli and Jalahalli that have slabs used as walls and roofs. But as Boomtown Benglur exploded in size, so did the price of this stone. It has money written all over it. And money can move mountains.

Lure of Bangalore: Tibetan Traders
It's clearer than the McMahon line - The numbers and lines on the wall separate traders on the crowded stretch near Shivajinagar Bus Stand. This photograph was clicked as they were setting up shop in the morning.
