Then to cool off and help the cause of digestion of the food, we went for a walk into Lalbagh. Lalbagh has always been one of my favourite places in Bangalore. The walk around the lake is usually divine. But this time it was really special. The weather was simply superb. The grey skies have returned to Bangalore and brought back its old glory.
This is a shot I took from the Glass house.
The view from the bench where we sat and chatted for a long time. What you can't see in the picture is the wind and feelings of the people at the place. Divine - is an understatement!
We discovered this Nagalinga pushpa by accident. This tree was near the nursery. When you open up the flower, it looks like a small Linga covered by the hood of snakes above. Quite a rare and exotic flower that grows straight out of the trunk of the tree. It was a beautiful sight with the wind blowing and the slight drizzle making the flowers drop down at a regular rate.
The famous Queen's flower seen all around Bangalore. The pavements off MG Road have a lot of these trees.
This picture summarizes the day. Quite an amazing day! After that we went to Prasanna doddappa's house and Anand Uncle's house. Spent very good quality family time. God, I love them all :-)

Lalbagh is really cool. Quite underestimated by the Blore junta I must say. I have always enjoyed my jaunts there.
MTR food is awesome man! Wish they open up more outlets. The "Namma MTR" concept I guess is very much flawed due to the franchises screwing up.

I miss MTR. Food is damn good there. I dont even remember most of the things about Bangalore anymore. Sad but true. It has been 6 years since i left India and as days go by i seem to forget more and more about Bangalore, its roads, it naunces. Keep writing about bangalore. I might probably get inspired to come back!
Namma MTR is not fresh food! There ends the case - there's no comparison at all.
Bangalore is battling a pollution battle. It's crippling infrastructure and humungous population are some issues that need to be addressed. But I would make a statement that it's easily got the 'most' livable weather on this whole planet! I'm sure once these issues are sorted out it's get back to it's own self. But of course, it can never again be a slow and lazy smalll city it used to be.
