I was done with New Delhi. My next destination was Mysore, but before that, a very short stay in Bangalore was on map.
Bangalore is capital of Karnataka state in India.
Bangalore is also known as Garden city due to lots and lots of greenery in this city. But to my disappointment, I didn't find many trees in city, and moreover its a over populated and over polluted city.
It was also known as Pensioner's Paradise as people retired from their job can enjoy life in Bangalore due to cheap market and wonderful environment, but after introduction of IT companies, things have changed allot and I was very much surprised to know the price of fruits and vegetables. It was hell expensive compared to other metro cities in India.
If you are coming by train then you are lucky enough as you will see the Bangalore city Railway Station. Many travelers and tourist ain't able to realize that this railway station can be a tourist attraction. It is one of the oldest railway station in India. The original admin block of Bangalore railway is located in front of Platform 5. This building is quite old and if you observe carefully then you will find that this railway station is expanded in both directions. This old building has architecture of old English design leaving footprints of colonial era.
To my shock I found few roads in Bangalore where people drive in a wrong way. My first impression was that they were breaking rule by driving wrong way but when I observed I came to know that it was traffic rule in that sector. There are many one way path in Bangalore, and if you missed any turn then you will land up in trouble as you have to drive a long way to come back on the right track.
You can find painting of gods and goddess of Hindu religion painted on the walls which are side of the road. When I asked my friend about it, she told me that it is to stop the people to urinate on side of the roads which in turn will keep city clean. Nice thought by Bangalore Muncipal Body.
Bangalore has good bus transport system though its expensive. Some bus drivers, drive very rashly and some drive like a snail. But it was fun to travel in buses as I always had good company with me.
I didn't find much time to visit places in Bangalore as I had to move to Mysore, but I am very eager to go back as many time as possible due to one or more reason ;)
