finally bangalored

Bangaloored ,,if u r not yet aware with the term yet then u better be coz its not just that u not aware of the recent developments but u r 200 years behind time ,at least i was till today morning .

Never imagined a 3 hour walk in a place where i have walked or at least crossed innumerable times has so much of history within itself.

bangaloored is a term which has been recently included in the english dictionary ,it signifies the phenomenon of losing of jobs due to them being transferred to bangalore ,well whatever the significance be .........


its so typical of we indians to go abroad in order to visit the churches ,their places of worship ,their culture ,,,how much of we do we know about ours?
our city ?

u might have heard of london walk ,paris walk ..but bangalore walk?? http://www.bangalorewalks.com/m/

sounds strange ,,,,,and who wil spoil a sunday morning for a bangalore walk ..i did for a change ..these were some of the things i found out




what u see above is the trinity church ,probably u never bothered to have more than a glance .it is located at the beginning of MGroad .it is a military church and was amongst the first few churches built by the british army while they were settling in what we know as bangalore ,it has great historical significance.


bangalore was the first city in India to produce electricity ..and too very soon after it was produced in NewYork the reason being gold being discovered in kolar gold fields .it so happened that bangalore lied in the path of shivsamudram (where hydro electricity was produced by british) to kolar.what u see above is amongst the first transformers being put around 100 years back and it is there on the MG road ....


there were similar things which i dicovered like the pulling down of the victorian house for what we today know as CENTRAL ,bangalore torpedoes which were very instrumental in the way WW II was fought ,it finds place even in the steven spielberg movie SAVING PRIVATE RYAN ,the first wipro office ,a statue on the mg road of not an Indian but a german .

The message was clear ,Bangalore has become a truly global city and seeds were not sown not now as we all feel but atleast 200 years back. view of vidhan soudha from EBONY
