Bengalaru..revisited

Last week, I happened to visit Bengalaru for some work. I was visiting this place after so many years. But somewhere in my mind, I could still recollect some of the beautiful snaps of this city few years back. As they say it was city of Gardens earlier.

I landed in Bengalaru. First thought which came in my mind at that point of time, was like….have I landed in Los Angeles??? The all new airport is awesome man…..and definitely at par with international standards….boom …boom…boom….I was impressed and started my journey to my apartment in a cab. We stepped out of the domestic terminals and I was again impressed to see the motorway connecting to the city. It has 6 lanes( of course including both the sides) flooded with lights. The distance from Airport to city is approximately 30 Kms. I was impressed again. Slowly, slowly…we went ahead in dense traffic area. The number of cars in this city made me to think it as the city of cars and gardens. It took one and half hour to reach the apartment. I don’t see any problems as such with the traffic as it is at par with all the metro cities around the globe.

However, the traffic is much more disciplined and always moving on without much of noise and also without drivers blowing horns all the time. The city has still maintained its identity with respect to gardens. You can see at least couple of gardens in each locality. Now, that is a healthy sign…isn’t it?

The MG road is reshaping up because of the Metro project. The weather is good as usual. People are good and polite at least with whom I interacted.

Overall, I think that Bengalaru has very good infrastructure (roads, fly overs, metro coming up, road and air connectivity to other main cities including Pune etc.). The weather is good and also the people. As they say it all comes in a package. No wonder that why most of the companies across the globe selected Bengalaru to start their India operations.

Cheers,
