About bangalore
Bengaluru is the face of contemporary India. A city bustling with young, elite techies, skilled executives and students from across the globe is urbane and progressive. These young minds with their liberal mindset and proper exposure have given a facelift to this city once known as the 'sleeping city' and went on to bag the title of the Silicon Valley of India.
Bengaluru is purely cosmopolitan in nature because of the coalition of diverse cultures. The fusion of various cultures have made it a true mirror of modern India where people have stopped feeding to prejudices and radical views. Bangloreans are liberal in their social attitudes and the lifesytle is modelled along Mumbai and Manhattan rather than the other cities in the State. No wonder the city with its rocking nighlife has the largest number of pubs and rightly called the 'Pub capital of India'.
As a tourist destination Bengaluru with its well maintained gardens and lush green parks compels the visitors to address it as ' the Garden City'. Though the techno savvy city is not a typical tourist destination and its reputation revolves around just being an IT hub but in reality, it has many things to offer.
If one likes to see the face of urban India, then it has to be Bengaluru, the city of the highest paid young minds. Its fort, palaces, temples are a treat for the artistic soul. The innumerable discotheques, pubs, lounge bars with their funky setting is just the right venue for those who like boozing.
For the epicureans, the city is no less than a paradise. Offering an array of delicacies ranging from regional to international, from Idli to Sushi, the stylish restaurants suites the budget of all and dining here is a delight.
The fashionable MG Road, Brigade Road, Church Street and Commercial Street with world class shopping malls welcome the shopaholics offering everything from clothes to cars. These place are great for window shopping. For the backpapers the ideal address is the City Market, the oldest market having its own flavour.
A trip to Bengaluru is a fascinating journey of discovering the harmonious blend of diversities and co-existence where the flavour of the southie filter coffee and the cold coffee at Mcdonalds co-exist, where the exquisite design of Bangalore Silk with artistic work on the border and the stylish cuts of the showroom are at peace with each other and how wonderfully the fragnance of sandalwood reconciles with the branded perfumes .
