One of the oldest temples in Bangalore - Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple in Malleshwaram.

I absolutely love visiting Malleshwaram and vegetable during the wee hours (especially on the day of a festival). The stock is fresh and the crowds are minimal.

The way in which has taken over and changed our lives, with groceries delivered with a click of your fingertip, we see fewer and fewer shops in these markets as the years go by. A few of my favourite things about this place are the incessant bargaining, the Kannada banter and the lovely smell of flowers that carries itself through the market. The old world charm of this place is something else and I hope we never lose such places.

Place: Bangalore, India.

Bangalore Infrastructure Admiration 

Excuse me? Did they just say 100/200 years?

Wait till BESCOM or BWSSB decides they need to dig it up to lay some pipe work in!

India, Rent a Boyfriend 

What is this Chines rent a boyfriend level Christmas scam though?! I wonder how the Goud Saraswat Brahmin bf discussing the same topics in a GSB family would go down 🤔

PS: This has to be a parody no? I refuse to believe this is real!

Politics, India, Rahul Gandhi 

What a nice, candid interview by Samdish. This guy has a special way with people. Always able to have conversations which are a mix of fun and serious; but give you an insight into seemingly inaccessible people, in a way that very few can.

Politics aside, it is impossible not to see what a good guy Rahul Gandhi is. Grounded, well mannered and polite.

The episode is a mix of English and Hindi.

I tried going into profile settings via web on my phone, it shows me a whole new set of options. I have a few questions wrt options and usage.

1. What is profile metadata supposed to be? It says Label and Content, where does this show up?

2. List account on directory (that I checked on recommendation) - where can this be seen? How do I access said directory if I'm looking for interesting accounts to follow?

3. I read somewhere that specific hashtags can be followed by clicking on the follow button that appears next to the hashtag upon searching. I tried this on both web and Android app and somehow cannot see any option to follow a hashtag (eg ), is there something I'm missing here?

Bangalore Weather 

This was weather yesterday, and today feels no better! Thanks to rains and a depression in the Bay of Bengal.

If THIS is just what November looks like, I wonder what December and January are about to throw at us? I cannot describe in words how unequipped we are to cope with this!!

From what I've read, the original stone columns and woodwork have been retained and the walls painted with lime scale, as they would have been in the early 20th century. Some parts, which I didn't manage to capture, had wooden flooring, which I read somewhere was also the original flooring that had been .

The viewing galleries are now balcony corridors leading to various rooms within the experience center.

This place is definitely worth a visit, especially considering how very few buildings in are actually restored with this painstaking detail!

For most of my life growing up in , I remember quickly walking past this building without giving it a second glance. Standing at the junction of Brigade Road and Resicency road this was in a largely disheveled condition through most of the 80s and 90s; and known for shady activities (it was used as a theater to play B-grade movies at one point).

This is the Bangalore built in the 1930s, for the colonial residents of the British Bangalore cantonment. In the early years it was used as a theater, opera and also a space where boxing matches were held between troops who arrived during .

One of the few Goth buildings of Bangalore that hasn't been razed to the ground, thanks to a court order, this building has been painstakingly restored by the Korean electronic company - .

Quite scenes on twitter right now! After scrolling though a dozen such scenes I couldn't help but share.

With the worldcup coming up, won't be surprised to see free live streaming on Twitter soon.
