If you are living in the IT hub like Bangalore and willing to eat delicious food on a reasonable price then my friend trust me, it is IMPOSSIBLE. Bangalore is a very expensive city. It is not possible to find even a roadside vendor offering food at a cheaper price. Yes, there can be couple of roadside food stalls offering at lesser price but what about the quality? The real issue is quality of the food. If it is not delicious even after paying few bucks, it will feel like you paid more. I am staying in Bangalore from past eleven months and it is difficult to find yum food in affordable prices in the mainstream region of the city. Yesterday, I was very hungry in afternoon and I along with my friend discovered a place called ‘Tale of Paratha: Every Paratha has a Tale to Tell’.  The name is very catchy and it is located in Domlur. I was hoping something different from this place and at least food to eat as I was really hungry. Every Paratha Has A Tale To Tell  ...

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...

Rod On road After spending so many days in Delhi, now its time for me to say good bye. I had a fun time here. People of Delhi are very friendly, and food they cook is so delicious. It was heaven for me. There were so many things for me to see from old monuments to the modern commercial complex. I am in love with this city. Statesman House Statesman House at Connaught Place was one of the buildings in Delhi, which was delight to see. In evening time, it was a treat to see this commercial complex. Its architecture is quite attractive. In delhi, I made new friends, had great time with them. Then I met my school friend in Vaishali, and we were just talking about old memories. Sometimes, I feel world is quite big but few things keep on proving that world is a small place.

The tall and ever  attractive monument of Delhi  which can be seen from most parts of the city is called the Qutab Minar. Every body has the same question when one sees the structure for the first time. The question that is often being put up is "Why the monument is that big?" or "Was there any specific reason to build such a tall building or it was just a wish of the person who built it?" Well, the exact reason is assumed to have something related to commemorating the victory. Mughals used to build victory towers to proclaim and celebrate victories. Some say the minaret was used to offer prayer but it is so tall that you can hear the person standing on the top. Also, the minaret is not joined on to Qutuddin's mosque and the Iltutmish's mosque. Qutab Minar is among the tallest and famous towers in the world. The minaret is 234 feet high and the highest individual tower in the world. Other towers in the world are the Great Pagoda in Pekin, China and the Lea...

Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India, is an imposing edifice located at the west end of the Rajpath in New Delhi with the India gate at the opposite end. Designed by Edwin Landseer Lutyens, this palatial building was the erstwhile residence of the British Viceroy. Few official residential premises of the State Heads in the world will match the Rashtrapati Bhavan in terms of its size, vastness and its magnificence. The decision to build a residence in New Delhi for the British Viceroy was taken after it was decided that the capital of India would be shifted from Calcutta (Kolkata) to Delhi. It was constructed to affirm the permanence of British rule in India and the building and its surroundings were supposed to be 'an empire in stone'. That 'empire in stone' and the perpetual Durbar was transformed to be the permanent institution of democracy on 26 th  January 1950 when  Dr.  Rajendra Prasad became the first President of India and oc...

Akshardham, New Delhi I am not a orthodox religious person, but I do admire beautiful things. Akshardham Temple in National Capital Region of India, is one of the beautiful temple in the country. Its architectural design is quite significant. I have to admit that, initially I wasn't much curious to visit this beautiful place, but it was difficult to admire its beauty. So, I rushed to this place one evening. Swaminarayan Akshardham in New Delhi epitomises 10,000 years of Indian culture in all its breathtaking grandeur, beauty, wisdom and bliss. It brilliantly showcases the essence of India’s ancient architecture, traditions and  timeless spiritual messages.

Palika Bazaar   is an underground market located between the inner and outer circle of Connaught Place, Delhi, India. Palika Bazaar hosts 390 numbered shops selling a diverse range of items; however, the market is dominated by electronic items and clothing.
