Bangalore Broadcast

Days are turning to weeks and weeks to months. This year is speeding off without any signs of stopping. In the mad rush I tend to loose sight of my life, as it slips away with any progress....

Are you New to Bangalore?

To an outsider new to Bangalore can look like a bundle of chaos. If you're caught on the wrong place in a traffic, it's enough to be feel suffocating. I too dread the bottlenecks at every junction, and for this reason I avoid the rush hour traffic, unless I need to go very badly.

There are many other issues apart from traffic, like food, housing, education, transportation etc. But beneath all these chaos, there a beautiful world for your to explore socially and culturally. While the new Bangalore is full of dot com folks, it equally has a rich heritage of it's own.

In this city there are many cultural centers, like Alliance Francaise, Max Muller Bhavan, The British Library  etc.

See beyond what meets your eye, explore the other side of Bangalore. If you need help you can just mail me here.

Thanks

Hard Rock Cafe Bangalore

I see many expatriates in Hard Rock Cafe during weekend. On Sunday's there are many expat
lazing inside with heavy brunch.

I love the granite interiors that showcases the other memorabilia of rock stars. For folks like me this place is too expensive, but I think it suits most of the expat's purse.

I wonder if this Hard Rock Cafe gives the same menu similar to other joints across the globe. If yes, then it could be one reason why many expats visit this rocking place.

Every week Chowdaiah Memorial Hall gives host to varied plays, dance recitals, concerts and other events. You can scan through the event section of Times of India to know the latest events unfolding at Chowdaiah Memorial Hall.

It's the cultural hotspot of Bangalore which was established in 1980. This violin shaped building is constructed as a tribute to famed violinist T. Chowdiah. Depending on your taste in arts or in Indian theater, you watch the shows from this esteemed hall.
