BangaloreWalks

I happen to do the Victorian Bangalore Walk recently.It was a balmy Sunday morning.We were around 10 odd people for the walk.The walk started from Holy Trinity Church on MG Road.There is so much within Holy Trinity Church that I was amazed by the amount of research done by Arun Pai(he conducts the BangaloreWalks).We were shown the house where presumably Winston Churchill lived while his stay in Bangalore.Bangalore was a very famous garrison town with the Brits.

Arun explained as to why Bangalore rose to prominence in science and technology and why Bangalore has always been a cosmopolitan city.There is a historical reason why Bangalore is the Pub City.I mean you would be itching your head thinking that almost every weekend I pass through MG Road and never happen to notice such things.

In the end we were treated to a sumptuous buffet breakfast at Ebony.What a way to make a happy ending.There are many more things which you would see and be amazed when you actually go for the walk. Believe me its worth every penny!!!!
